  1. With marbles this old the pontil detail can get lost with surface wear, but basically what you're looking for is evidence of faceting in the circled area. The faceting can sometimes be so well done you need to look for reflections in bright light (similar to vintage Agates) Based on the pattern, color combo and everything else, im confident in my original comment this is a German Greiner, and not a later American melted pontil Leighton
  2. From the pics looks like a faceted pontil Greiner (Germany ~1850's). Nice.
  3. What size are those? This is approx 1-1/8"
  4. 9/16" to 1-7/16" . I really would like to get my hands on a nicer horizontal Navarre. There was a member years back that had a nice handful, not sure if he's still around
  5. First one has a really 'clean' look. Most of the ones I've come across are absolutely beat.
  6. Pelt. Not sure if people are still using the "miller" swirl terminology but no to that.
  7. Im not seeing the 3rd stage from the pics?
  8. Hard to tell from the pics posted. Might even be a Euro. What's the size?
  9. I'd consider 'mushroom' but I can see where others would guess Pelt (I don't think it is)
  10. A worthy bump to this thread, nice detailed pics.
  11. The oldest Germans typically are believed to be ground/faceted pontils. Some are done so well = barely visible. It's always wise to closely inspect in hand with a loupe if possible. You can only tell so much from a picture on a screen. But yes there is a lot to learn, and a lot of different opinions when it comes to names/definitions so I take most with a grain of salt
  12. The last pic of transitionals is interesting. There were a couple guys (years ago) that had put together some nice collections of those particular opaque types.
