Found it,pic- are not mine. 10 billes couleurs assorties,means 10 marbles assorted colors.

Mike,you have a nice foreign collection! I'm not sure if the Euro sparkler type has been made in Germany,a possibility is France. I'll look in my photo files,i have them in a box somewhere.

Yes Euro sparkler,but "wild euro sparkler ",that does not sound good. It looks like ox-,it's a nice deep red.

it's 13/16

I like your new marbles and your pic- aswell!!

If you type transitional in advanced search at LOM,you will get a lot of posts of transitionals. This is Rogers (browse for antique) site. http://members.kingston.net/browse/transpics/trans2.html He explained the differences in cut off's,he called the messy spidering a pinch and the short straight he called a line. So it's a bit confusing for me,thats why i prefer to describe the sort of cut off :spidery-short straight line-long straight cut off etc. Here's a pic- of the colors which i've found in Holland,they all have a short straight indented cut off,a pinch as you would call it and a line cut off as Roger would call it.

Here are the cut-off's from my marbles,for comparison.

Hi Hdesousa (is that your name?), The marbles i've posted,have short straight cut off lines,and some have not,they're smooth. I've learned from American marble forums that they are made probably in Germany,although i personally doubt the country of origin. With blacklight the red turns into a kind of brownish purple color. I have other colors but they have a messy spidery cut off,so probably Japanese. How can you tell my marbles have a different gather and cut off than yours? Now that i look again at your pictures it seams they are a bit translucent?

You asked this before in the thread:-anyone have any beautiful Akro's- and i answered that they look like the so called "German"transitionals,maybe you didn't saw it. Most of the "Germans"have indented cut lines and some are smooth. Here are some of mine for comparison.

whatsamahoojits....English,it's still a foreign language for me LOL.

Well here's a foreign one for comparison. Same type of glass??

I've tried 2 times but nothing arrived.

I think if i would post that marble,most of you would have said;it's foreign LOL.

She received this beautiful Alleys in a trade from one of her favorite Americans LOL.

I would call it pretty rare!!!

I've also ordered a file,but has not arrived yet to my email. If it arrives and if it's interesting i'll let you know,thanks.

Me too love some transparancy. Bee,i can imagine you don't want to trade that beautie.

This could be foreign.

hdesousa,i think they're German transitionals,in a wrong box. Beautiful Akro's everyone!!

What makes you smile the display or the marbles? The marbles are incredible,thanks for sharing.

I consider using CAC and Alley original glass as reworked cullet/shard marbles and therefore they are CAC and Alley marbles since the original glass was from the CAC and Alley companies. sorry,I can't believe it,that you think this way,but it's free to believe whatever you want.

I would not put them on mij Alley's.

Received it today,and reading it. With a quick view,i think 1/3 of the book is about marbles. Looks interesting,much information.

Hey Ric what a nice hybrid cat's !!!!!!

Beautiful and so colorful,Ric! Edna said:You might be correct. I think we would need to have it in hand to know for sure. Maybe Winnie can help us on that. What Steph said about the veneering,has make me thinking. As far as i can see, the colors are not on top of a white background,is that what you mean by veneering? The seams are the same as my blackies. The black looks blacker than my blackies (sounds funny). The green is a bit different from the usual. The patches that i find here,they make me nuts,and maybe you too LOL.
