Interesting to guess what it was originally designed for, pretty sure it wasn't original packaging. It would be like an advent calender to open and see what's all in there.
on the OP, what exactly is fake? the dug part? If someone took a Akro sparkler, took the time to melt it down/reshape it, and somehow sell it for a profit? Not sure what you paid but I don't see how anyone would profit from "faking" these examples.
In my collection it would be German Handmade. Orange latticino core with six alternating outer bands in blue and white. Good symmetry. Rough pontils. Probably early 1900's. condition looks good from photos. way less common than white or yellow latticino cores. I wouldn't consider it a $100 marble but I'm thrifty that way.
I keep them somewhat organized and labeled in case I get hit by a bus. I used to be more diligent but when I got to sorting WVS and slags and I wiffle-waffed on so many it just became too time consuming.
