Hard to say, is there a size? Looks to be two distinct cutlines...I probably would have waffled on CAC but Euro is another possibilty
-
Yes?
-
See if this works

I for one, like to see some members posting again. Been a lot to learn over the years, and in my early days on the Forum, it's worth a thank-you for the knowledge that's been shared and gained during that time.

Awesome. Good on ya. I show some to my kids, nieces and nephews and explain briefly (attention span considered) and they go on their way. It's great when they come up with a creative game. -

That would be a huge marble -
Might be worthy of a new thread, looks like a nice one 😃
-
Looks kinds Pelty to me
-
No need to apologize. My photo's are less than stellar . I meant more the lighting, and how the green appeared in a couple of those pics. 9" circumference then? That's a huge marble. Diameter would help narrow it down but I still wouldn't rule out MFC
-
What is the actual size? OP says 9"? To me it looks like MFC. Pictures are wonky, probably showing a green tinge etc that aren't really there.

Wow, those are really nice. Great symmetry, tri-level, yellow solid core...2"...nice shape...wow! did they have any others? -
That was a very well done video, thanks for the link
-
No, the picture I was thinking of was from 10-15 years ago and some guy was describing his marbles as wet mint and (if memory serves) the oil bottle was in the background and dripping off his fingers
-
Interesting. Which war? I could see it being WW1, but WW2 would seem a bit late in the handmade time period (of course contemporaries are still made today, and some countries weren't as automated with marble making machines back then).
-
I've got a couple kicking around, but smaller size. Never seen a legit one bigger than 3/4". I'm not convinced the ones from Argentina are German made. Pretty sure a lot of the Belgian ones are a bit "off" as well. Good luck with your search!
-
Forgot to ask, did you request a refund?
-
Snake oil, lol. Anyone else remember the photo that actually had a bottle of oil showing in the background? Another option would be to get them polished on a 3-head sphere machine (some people frown on polished marbles, and the service price for these examples probably would be more than what the marble itself is worth).
-
Cool, I recognized is a shell casing since I got a similar one that somebody converted to an ashtray. I thing the middle had a .50 cal shell that had a lighter built inside. It's packed away somewhere.

Haven't read this link word-for-word but might help in your search on era: https://www.leeasher.com/blog/how-to-date-a-deck-of-playing-cards.php

I'd guess 60-70's based on the card style, probably homemade with a few generous layers of shellac. It's plywood, right? Sometimes a Joker or Ace of Spades include the card company info, which might help narrow it down the era. Looks like a fun game
-
But if the slip (or glaze) is fired, it would probably have the same "eye" result, similar to a Bennington? I don't know much about these types either, never seen on in hand before and my last kiln experience was 4th grade art class, just thinking out loud.
-
At one point I heard that green glass like this was associated with Barberton, don't know if there's anything factual to back that up...
-
Yeah, about 20 years ago the guy lost it in his car and mailed it to me after he found it again. Definitely a cool one for me. And good faith.
-
Nope, clean fracture. So clean it would probably stick back together with water. Don't know how it happened but glass has a funny way of doing it's own thing. Sticking together, like your original marble, is one example. Change the temp a bit and that marble could be in a hundred fragments.
