To the OP's question (and I'llHaveThat1's point) about provenance - I was mulling over what makes provenance (other than claimed word-of-mouth).  Then I remembered two original, unmolested handmade boxes that were sold years ago by Danny Turner.

One was an original Salesman's Sample Box (circa 1890-1910).  Note that (at least) the top row has labels that look like postage stamps - but with writing on them.  I expect that these describe the specific type for placing orders.  I don't recall if the box was labeled by the manufacturer - perhaps someone who has the pamphlet for #45 could look that up.

The second was inspired by I'llHaveThat1's point about sulphides.  An original sulphide box that sold in 1997.  The front cover does not list the manufacture:  " 1 doz. Glass Marbles - Figured.  Made in Germany".

 

 

I'm not sure this sheds new specific light - its rare that we see original handmade boxes - so I thought I would add them.

Did not mean to suggest it was one of the new run marbles, 

i thought it might have been when i first saw it. but in hand it just seems to look to  old to be new

i thought it may be hand made too as i have german ones that small and smaller.

it does have cold rolls just like DAS marbles but i dont think Dave made this one

need an ID on this.

im not even gonna quess.

Thanks everyone 

thank you all

i didn't think it would be possible but had to ask in case there was something i missed in my research.

Just curious is there any way to ID a maker on antique German hand mades like this one or sulfides for that matter??

just got this one 1.57" and would love to know who made it. its now my fave marble of them all,

Thanks in advance

ok its not a carnelian.

My first thought was wishing it would turn out to be Carnelian, but I also don't see it at this time.  

What does it look like under a blacklight?

 

 

I still don't have an alternative guess.

it has a orange glow under UV light where the white goes under the surface.. 

Could they be  Akro Agate Carnelians ?

they sort of look like these

need an ID on these 2 marbles thank you.

Could it be a Akro  Cardinal Red?

Alley looks good for the pattern on the blue.

Maybe a photo in different lighting on the green one?  And it looks like it could have seams ... does it?  A pic of those would be good. 

 

thank you

yes the blue does have an Alley flame look to it. so i will stick with the Alleys

the green one I cant find any seams even under 40x led loupe and 60x led loupe

the green does swirl around and the thin lines are a dark redish blackish color under 60x loupe.

I will try to get better pics later tonight,

thank you

found in same lot as red one.

could not get any better pics with my cell phonethan these.

not much to go on but im hopin someone will know

the greenish one has thin blackish lines in that U shape 

Found this in a bought lot. 

is it a slag of some sort? 

thank you
