Came across this in my photo files.

Don't know why but I'm very busy lately with red slags, Got this one from America.

top #6 American slags. bottom #6 Vacors

Just see this pic- Bob,I'm sure he's waiting for that big fish,I see it here all the time,gulls do it too.

on top 2 jabo's under Amsterdam swirls

Jabo versus Amsterdam swirl

Very nice DB,even here in Holland they are not easy to find. More views of the right marble of post #1 2 other marbles for comparison. Left marble I found in Holland right marble got it from America.

Yes please,could be interesting.

Swirls that I've found in Holland.

Oh yeah,if you're sure it isn't Champion then I have to believe I'm wrong. I thought I bought it in America.There are 2 or 3 possibilities,i've put it in the wrong box or I bought a Veiligglas marble in America (not the first time) The third option I just don't know LOL. Steph could you delete my post? Oh and at Joe's site I see a lot of Champion swirls,which look like swirl that i found in Holland. I'll post a pic- of the ones I found here in the calender thread.

So probably still hand-gathered?

Left is an Amsterdam swirl and right is Champion.

Hi welcome,I'm from the Netherlands,I'm looking for American made marbles. I've sent you a PM.

Thanks,I find this type until now only in Netherlands.

I like your choise topic Steph!!

The #4 on top are Japanese fig8. #4 under are Peltier Rainbo.

"Now I'm thinking again. Galen,is it not a strange place for a seam,does it not belong on the opposite site of the messed up "nine".....or may be the messed up "nine pattern have been formed by chance??

Amsterdam swirl with gold metallic {or something like that}

You've got some nice marbles there,I like the third pic- best.

Ann and Galen,thats not what I mean. Me too have several slags and transitionals without a "nine"that are clearly handgathered.. What I mean to say is: that at first glance this marble seems hand-gathered,but in my view it is not. After all,if it would be hand-gathered,the cut off should be on the opposite place of the "nine",isn"t it?? The cut off of this marble is IMO right under the messed up "nine",thats why I was a bit lost. For clarity,at first glance looks to be a Hand-gathered slag but is machien made. Of course I can be wrong (because I"m not familiar with American slags). Here's a pic- of which I think is the cut off. Sometimes I wich I could explain myself better LOL.

Very nice Wilie!! Ann,thats why i was a bit lost,being a slag with a messed uo "nine"but clearly IMO not handgathered,I found contradictory. Think i make it too hard for myself,from now on I will enjoy marbles and not think too much about,made by whom and where and whats it.

I don't see 2 seams,might be a cut off. I wonder wether it's new though with so many bids??

Most are regular size about 5/8 and 4 of them are about 11/16.
