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.

Is it not an old German Indian? Handmade? Unpolished? What's AV base mean?

1st pic are nice but not slags.

Happy Thursday!

I've only seen pics of one other. Very unusual.

Blue/white latt is very very htf. Nice!

Cac looks like

Is it a polished Cac though? Reminds me of some busy alleys from the salesman case

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.

Top one looks like a Pelt Spiderman, 2nd one looks like a red Zebra

Looks like a Pelt Rainbo to me. Unusual color combo.

Looks machine made...somebody might be able to ID company, but not me

Turned our pretty good, I'd say.

I agree slags can be tough especially from pics...but that color... And pretty sure I'm seeing a huge seam (pic2 and pic 5, along the edge of the white). Nice marble either way

Go for it! Back in the day I wondered about "casing" damaged marbles in a layer of clear glass. Epoxy would be easier...but not without its challenges if you were going to do a spherical mold there would still be a parting line. And trying to keep the marble centered. If it were me I'd look at making a domed paperweight or incorporate them in a resin countertop or coaster or something. Post some pics it would be a fun project.

Looks like CAC to me. At 7/8 would be a good size.

Is it chunks of missing glass that makes the pattern look so odd?

Blue one is not (no faceted pontil). Much later than the German Grenier marbles.

You can faintly make out PAT APL 78 on the caster on the right, which were the set I used

a pop of color for a springtime Thuringen Thursday

Sometimes oven brick can take on a sheen and look like metal but it isn't

Nice find no kidding! Never personally seen one that big but heard they got up there in size. Check-valves is what I heard most (if not all) this size were originally for. Now I'm wondering what all you passed up on?

2nd set of pics doesn't even look like the same marble LOL! Odd color combo for this type...I'd want to see it closer but invariably it would end up with my Pelts

I needed an extra couple inches to clear some rough-ins (work in progress, lol, don't mind the mess). So they're not packed up in a box anymore, plus they function way better than I expected!

Interesting. I imagine most of the original "strings" are long gone from those necklaces. The bullet mold necklace looks extra heavy (the racket it would make if the string broke)...
