Paint is probably not correct.i do believe it is glass colouring The iridescent finish was a thin layer added at the end covering everything. The yellow was all surface colouring very thin as well. The white mostly surface some went below. It all flaked away with ease after 1 good hammer

Decided to crack this 1 open. Just to see. It was harder then i thought it would be. The paint on the outside flaked away quite easily. On this particular model . It looks like they used some cheap blue glass.

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon glass marble. They gave them away in a reissue box set about 10 years ago

its good just dont ask me for those fractions measurement Thats very puzzling to me. Im literally 5 mins to ny state. I can watch people on the other side of the river cut their grass

It is in the wheel house size of Vacor. Thats for sure. Just the blue and purple,green in it. The surface part is not brushed i dont think. The dark parts are purple running through it not sure i see brown. Alas though you seen them before and know its Vacor that indeed closes the case. I had a dream last month to throw this particular marble in the ocean wich is odd because its a 13hr drive from eastern ont.

The size though puts reasonable doubt upon identification. Rightly so. As there has been no past specimens of this size in regards to American machine mades. And as pointed out it would be very difficult or next to impossible to produce. If we were to remove the size. Almost everyone would agree. Its either Akro or Master. I can say with it in my hands. Ìt would have to be a machine made. Saying that, i do not have a fraction of many people's knowledge here. I think i need to have this looked at hands on. I wish i was regionally closer to many of yous.If there is any marble experts in the Montreal,Ottawa,Kingston region. I could travel to. Feel free to msg me Also if anyone wants full non cropped or resized photos . Msg me here with your email. I will send them I dont hope for the impossible. But i think this marble deserves further investigation.

Bonux or Ajax just paid for advertising? Are they sparklers? Im never sure if their French. Dutch or German

I would like to be able to give a narrative that could solidify its origins. However, i have had it for 2 years. Found it at the local Sally Ann. It was in bag that was mostly common vintage.

It is confounding the size. Its my personal favourite in my collection.

My apologies. Dont think i had it set to 0 initially. It is 41.5mm or 1.63". This is correct ,triple checked.

Now that ive dug into Pelt Rainbos a bit more. I can see similar examples. Somethings been nagging at me though . Is it possible that it could be a modern Asian?
