They were an Ebay win. Can't believe nobody bid on them but me????

Check out the weird knobs on these two. They would sorta make sense if they were at the poles, but they are not. Quality control was out to lunch when these were made. Aside from the knobs they are I guess for lack of a better term burned. They have a surface discolouration that looks like rust staining, as do several others in the group pic. Nothing I know will get it off. Not even a razor blade. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Not wanting to burst your bubble, but that type of Cat is actually quite common. I have literally hundreds of them in the catseye tub. I call them "Shatter Cats".

While I was doing the southern Ontario hunt I would ask all the old boys/girls if they had any info on marble makers in the area. The three places that came up were Georgetown, Ancaster and somewhere in the Owen Sound/ Wiarton area. With the Owen Sound/ Wiarton one coming from a few different people. I was never able to find anything about any of them but they might be a start for some down deep google search.

And did they make these in this smaller size?

Murano? I have seen these around from time to time. Two different dealers have told me they purchased them in Italy while on purchasing trips. They had marbles, glass candies and fish as well as other Murano items on their booths. I always pass on them since I thought they were Asian. These ones came in a lot of mixed stuff, so now I have some. Getting them home and putting them next to the Asians I do have I will say they really do not match up colour wise. Sort of but not quite. Far from being an expert on modern Asian marbles and what they are making right now I was hoping someone might know what these are. They measure just under 5/8" and all have defined pontils (last 2 pics). Any ideas? Thanks for any input.

Like all End of Cane or messed up Handmades there was only X per cane that could have come out. So scarce is a good word for it. I would think that one would sell on looks rather than rarity. It is a looker.

LOL! No clue where it was really made actually. I just call any marble I see come out of any English lot over the last 15 years Euro. I have seen several of these. They come with patches on either one side or both. I do have a single sided one that was all not all mashed up. Will get pics. I'll have a dig through the top few inches of the junker tub to see if I can find any others.

Looks Euro to me. I'll see if I have one that did not end up in the junker tub. I know I put a few in there. Pretty sure I sent one to Ric a few years back

Winnie what is your observation of ratio to what you are finding between the transparent and opaque ones? From your pic it looks like you are finding more red ones than other colours. Plenty of those red ones here. Other colours are M.I.A at the moment for me.
Love that shooter green and blue.
