Some Oldies , That blue and orange is a great contrast Winnie

Dragonfly landed on a hot pontil?

some neat cover art on those, the one with the marble cover could almost pass for Afred E.

One of the nicer groups of marbles I've seen on eBay, what an addition to a collection those would make. Thanks for posting the links

Nice "turbine" effect

Are they square like cubes or square from one view only (like cylinders). The tumblers I've seen make things more spherical than cube

Most solvents should work at the glue, ie: rubbing alcohol

what else are your thoughts? Doesn't quite look like I'd expect from a cooked marble, those dings

bottom left is looking good for sure,

Really, those are some interesting lobes.

almost looks like the bottom of an old soda bottle (except for everything else going on, of course)

Must weigh a fair bit, any idea on maker?

The middle had me going, looked like a nice twist at first

Could be...looks pretty close

Sunny side up please

I thought this was a Vitro for a while as well, no worries. Whatcha think?

I'd think German and they probably made quite a few over the years. Orange peel surface on some of them m

Looks like a lot of fun!

Those accountants with their weird 7's. Cool documents!

Very informative, interesting stuff

The second pic looks fine as it sits. If you want a better finish on the other pieces, rinse off the coarser grits and use a slurry of finer grit.

"Shipwreck" German handmades make more sense they'd be imported via ship. Can't say the same for machine made marbles, but I'm sure there were plenty left behind at the beach or slingshot for the gulls (oh no) There was a lot more indigo blue glass at the beach when I was younger, but as a sign of the times it's more green or clear that I see nowadays. Still have a lot since I keep most pieces.

Some handmades, by craftsmen in Germany |||||||||||

Great looking Riv Mike is that a pick up?
