The last 3 pix look good to me, I see intact pontils, and makers marks, looks like 3 great Joseph coats. Many of the ones' I have look like they were made yesterday and have no damage. Some better lighting would really help request better lit pix from the seller to check for any evidence of polishing. If they're not polished the price is excellent !! From what I can see they aren't polished just in great shape IMO but better pix may prove differently ?? You do have to side on the better half of caution, a good hand buffing and polishing job will go around the pontils to make it appear untouched. I wish I had them in hand !! A polishing machine will smooth out all those imperfections you see and obliterate the pontils, if anything @ all they were hand buffed, but even the finest jewelers rouge will still leave little concentric scratches under mag.

Here's the original listing for a possible better look @ the mibs LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/354099156619?nma=true&si=UJ2TqH8nbS7yE3oz2%2FXvN4Riocg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=

Another form of "Skip Ball" still in working order, I always get mine used but fully functional, I can't keep my hands off

The final $$ I expected it to go a bit higher but looking @ the current economic times not to bad.

Peltier to me (IMO) the blowholes are unfortunately indicative of Peltier, a shade of orange so calling it a Superboy.

An Akro for this "Sundays Best" I'm calling it a Lemonade ox but instead of the standard greenish hue when hit w/ a blacklight this one glows more yellowy orange. The base glass is a little off also. I wasn't even aware it was UV reactive till I hit a group w/ the light & it popped. Size is .753" Here it is pictured beside a smaller 5/8ths Lemonade ox for a base glass color comparison.

Agree

Nice glass Brother

Post pix of yer favorite marble related game, no need to own it if you've seen it & like it post a pic. My all-time favorite is the "Skip Ball" or any form there of, takes me back to my childhood and sooo many good memories

Ah, found it, a relatively long read but it gives the complete story from beginning to end !! Leftover drain field media (clay balls) painted etc... & made to look like marbles, they're are still a lot of them around.
