It just keeps getting better, Joep!
-
That is a super marble, Bill - the orange peel is great! It's like 1 1/4" too, isn't it?
-
Bullet molds are historically associated with Czechoslovakia (the Czech Republic or Slovakia now). Here's an old one . . . I have no idea who might be making them now though.

You did it, Art! And I'll bet you're glad you did. I'm jealous now because I want a try too!
-
hard to photo. white with the lightest color blue swirl. .94

I wouldn't mind seeing it back-lit, but not too brightly. -
I kinda liked the "tweener" idea, I think it had its place.
-
Looks Vitro to me.
-
Well, I guess Alley it is then. Thanks, Ron!

What a great video - lots of my favorite marbles. Many thanks to Nola for sharing her collection and to Stephen for another great production!
-
I would urge caution since I am pretty sure I've seen similar JABOs.
-
They are the same, as far as I can tell. But I think that's very weird pumpkin-colored striping for a Pelt and the seams aren't very Pelt-like either, IMO. Having said that, I am certainly no Pelt-head so maybe it's just a very strange type.
-
It's like Roberto said, imagine taking a small piece of wire, folding it into a spherical shape and sticking it in a marble. lol
-
Okay, so I still haven't been able to lay my hands on that Pink "Bennington" but I did find an old pic. For this thread, you can certainly ignore the marble on the left - it's an early American. And I am sure there's a reason I photographed these two together - you might want to ignore the one on the right too. lol
-
Very nice marble, William!
-
Very cool, Chad - kinda different and bubbleicious!
-
The main reason I worry about them is because I don't think I ever saw one until about 8 years ago or so, and now this? When did you find your first one? And I have never seen a damaged one. Have you? I am worried they are new. Maybe a JABO investor run or something.
-
The beads are very cool, Joep.
-
That's a cool photo, Rick.

It is time to re-educate—Civil war marbles.
Ric replied to akroorka's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Thanks for reposting this. It's a nice representation of the varieties out there. Some are obviously whimsical and kind of fun - maybe even decorated by kids. Others are likley huckster's poor attempts to duplicate vintage marbles and deceive. I suppose the thing to remember is that there is no such thing as an antique magic marker. lol -
Yes, I was trying to exclude it in my first post. I apparently didn't do a very good job. lol.
-
To me, the white almost looks more like base glass than striping.
-
Definitely not Vitro - it's a WV Swirl of some sort. And I wouldn't worry too much about, some marbles just can't be identified with any real certainty, in which case, it doesn't matter much because they have little collectible value.
-
I'm not brave enough to guess on this one. In my mind, it could easily have been made by any one if several manufacturers - other than Veiligglas.
