Hand Gathered


Dwarren

Recommended Posts

Common pattern and color combo for this type.  The 'nine' pattern is characteristic of hand gathered marbles.  Top left pic shows the cutoff.  A member here spent a lot of time looking at these types and trying to characterize the cutoffs, but I don't think it ever really narrowed down manufacturer or origin.  It was still an interesting study though. 

From my experience they are more often found in collections/groups originating from Europe or Canada (compared to US), and mostly ~5/8" size.  Of course, there are going to be exceptions to both these points.

Hope this helps
