  1. Can you find a pontil ??
  2. The big brown one is a German Bennington (glazed clay) The others could have been sold as marbles but more than likely are just ball bearings. Most vintage steel marbles are hollow and have an x where they were crimped together, though some solid ball bearings were sold and packaged as marbles. Here's a link from right here on MC I posted a couple years ago : LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26739-steelies/ Vintage steelies @Steph has a bunch of pix of vintage steelies of both types somewhere ?? Here's one from Blocks past auctions, I've seen them all the way from just below 5/8ths to just over an inch.

  11. Jabo Sorry, I'm no good on I.D.'s for the individual runs, @Nantucketdink or @wvrons would be a great deal more help here.
  12. Two different branches or parts is the dictionary definition, it differs a bit when talking about marbles.
  13. Bifurcate means it has 2 different base colors, this one has half yellow base and the other half green, I call it a Dragon Bee. True Bifurcates are VHTF not common.

  15. Cherry Bombs' are usually larger, around 3/4" or bigger w/ more extension of the ribbons through the base glass (i.e. NLR construction) here's a couple pix of one of mine for a comparison.
