  1. The sun shining through those marbles would look amazing I bet, very cool
  2. Forgot to ask if there were 2 pontils on any of these examples. There's at least one on the blue and red. A pontil on the opposite pole would help tell us if they were handmade cane-cut. A single pontil could mean single gathered or else end of cane.
  3. Pretty wild. I've seen pictures similar to the opaque blue on white before but I believe the marble was a lot bigger that the ones you show here. Even the large ones I'm not 100% convinced on their origins (not that I need to be, more a curiosity thing). What's the actual size of these? From the pics I'd guess glass marbles but more pics or seeing in hand might narrow it down a bit more. There are newer marbles that can look similar but I think these are older, just not sure how old. (lot's of help I know) Nice examples either way.
  4. Some Oldies , That blue and orange is a great contrast Winnie
  5. some neat cover art on those, the one with the marble cover could almost pass for Afred E.
  6. 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
  7. Are they square like cubes or square from one view only (like cylinders). The tumblers I've seen make things more spherical than cube
  8. Most solvents should work at the glue, ie: rubbing alcohol
  9. what else are your thoughts? Doesn't quite look like I'd expect from a cooked marble, those dings
  10. Really, those are some interesting lobes.
  11. almost looks like the bottom of an old soda bottle (except for everything else going on, of course)
  12. Must weigh a fair bit, any idea on maker?
  13. The middle had me going, looked like a nice twist at first
  14. I thought this was a Vitro for a while as well, no worries. Whatcha think?
  15. I'd think German and they probably made quite a few over the years. Orange peel surface on some of them m
  16. Those accountants with their weird 7's. Cool documents!
