To my knowledge "Novas, Rootbeer floats, Champagne's" and associated marbles were all from a single day run in the 80's LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38379&p=283233&hilit=peltier+novas#p283233 LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36325&p=273100&hilit=Peltier+Novas#p273100 LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7783&p=62130&hilit=Peltier+Novas#p62130

Alley Shimmering Spruce, nice mib Joe, one of my first and still one of my favorite Alley's

Mmm, m, Alleylitiouse !!

Messed up PPP IMO, not seeing any Vacor or Akro traits so leaning to the default, Peltier

No Pelt on either

I think @ least some are from a 2009 contract run, I got some from one of the investors, many had dark oxblood like that & transparent bases, nice mibs Brother

Some of my Favorites for this "Sunday's Best"

Found some info on a past post here on MC, definitely between WW1 & WW2, trying for more info but this may take a while, definitely after the supposed early 1900's end of production date. LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/17876-some-nice-and-colourful-single-pontil-marbles/ Hi Hansel That is a really interesting leaflet. I tried to do some research in the internet. I found this book here in which all the glass-manufacturers in Germany were published, the "Glasfabrik Wernerhuette" too. The book was published in 1907. http://archive.org/stream/deutschlandsgla00unkngoog#page/n2/mode/2up But more interesting is the fact, that on "your" leaflet is mentioned that they also produce glass-parts for radios ! According to google the first radio-station in Germany was on air in 1923 ! So the leaflet has to be published later, my guess is between 1925 and 1933, when Hitler was elected for chancellor. So this leaflet proves that marbles like sulphides, onionskins and swirls were definitely produced between WW I and WW II which is very interesting because I (and probably most other collectors) always have thought that no such marbles have been produced after WW I !! So the time range for these marbles has to be approximately from 1870 to 1930 or so. Really really interesting, thanks a lot for posting it ! Ron

Alley, Vacor & ??

Very interesting, never seen it before, I see Sulphides, divided cores and solid cores etc. standard early German Handmade production marbles during the Victorian era (1850-1910). I wonder how you tell the difference between one from 1870 & one from 1940?? I thought all German production of handmades went out between 1910 or 20, fascinating Hansel, I wonder how they turned a profit up against the machinemades ?? Definitely interested in seeing more !!

A picture I took a couple years ago of some Jabo out in the sun for this "Slags & Swirls Saturday"

I had to put the proper testing suit on to see if the backdrop was gonna work ....

The size of the float generally had nothing to do w/ the size of the fish just the amount of floats on the mainline of the net to keep it afloat. The bigger floats were usually used on the ends of the nets for spotting and easier handling & hauling in. https://www.ebay.com/b/Japan-Glass-WWII-Antique-Fishing-Nets-Floats/37968/bn_84686645

Looks like an old Japanese fishing net float. We used to find them all the time beachcombing, from a little bigger than a golf ball clear up to and over the size of a basketball. Here's a larger size one w/ the netting still on it. The smaller ones can still be found for sale by the hundreds @ shops near the coast.

The Akro on the (R) appears to be a Superman double ingot marble, looks like 3/4' or better, agree w/ the one on the (L) being Master also.
