I have never thought of why it happens before. I have seen old window glass droopy almost melting looking

I ony have this big flashlight, not really great for this . Hopefully helps. Have to say looks cool lit up like that.

I have thought this was a rainbo as well. Possibly a 7up marble ?

Right on, thanks. ...yes i've always found the history of the marble companies interesting. The depth of involvement one way or another between them all. I can't say i've heard that happen in any other business.

I think possibly Akro. Regular sized. Thank you for any input.

Awesome, thank you both. Much appreciated. Yes less can be more, oddly enough i have used that phrase a few times in the past few months on a work site.

Greetings, and Happy Holidays. I am assuming this is a Peltier. Rainbo? I can't recall seeing a single band ribbon before. It's just a regular size mib. Thank you.

Yes it is a quirky corky. Not sure if Akro did the mauve/purple ?? Heaton ,i will look into. Cheers

Hello, Or is it a swirl mimicking a cork? Nice purple, 1/2" Hopefully the pics are ok and caputure the corkiness. Thanks

Right on, thanks guys. Yes i suspected there was not much to go by on this 1. It will join its fellow compatriots in the pretty jar.

Hello, any thoughts on this one. Just a bit over 3/4, hopefully the pics are o.k. Thanks

IMO, No idea how many. Assume hundreds of millions, so there will be loads of them to be identified. They are beautiful but have added a level of confusion beyond vacor,asian. From my lurking view it effects all new collectors and sometimes seasoned collectors. Good or bad ? Depends on what you want out of a marble collection.

Yout nuts. reminds me of walter white " say my name " Still looks odd to me this marble. Must have been a mistake

I think it may be newer. Not sure 100% . Tad under 3/4". Thanks

Hah. I guess that happens. Also, On ebay some sales get cancelled but still appear as the sold price. It can be a tatic by some to raise prices

I just stay away from certain marbles because i still cant tell the difference. ( and thats one of the types) Likely because ive never had the chance to see any marbles in person that are properly i.d'd. I have to go by pictures,books and here.I just search the wild and stay cheap. Once in awhile find a nice 1. Im guessing those are serpants by the reaction. Maybe the buyer will come in and discover that. And get a full refund

Cheers.Been learning a very tiny bit about beads in the last day . Had to google mandrel. They could be newer. The guy had them buried in junkalanche mountain. He told me i was the first person to see them in 20 years so that means it could be their age. The only thing i can say about beads in the wee bit of digging. Information is sparse regarding old beads.

Hello, thanks. I did think of that as well. Definetly quite possible. They have the trade marks of rudimentary handmade. The colours are strikingly similar to german colours... for what thats worth. 2 of the holes have a more tapered entrance/exit. They are pretty, eye catching hence in my possesion now.

Here is a picture with a notable chip. The other 2 are in vg condition. I'm hoping it may help with the identification of the origins.

Hello, i found these this morning.i am guess Czech or German. No idea though really of place or time. Largest is 1 1/4 inch length, aprox 1 inch wide The 2 others are about the same at just under 1 1/4 inch I personally have never seen beads like this or this size.

Hey thanks everyone. Much appreciate the input. I believe we have 2 options. I like it.Pinch an inch or Master. i did buy it a garage sale yesterday for 50 cents. Money well spent either way.

Thanks for leading me on the right path of maker.

Hello. It is 1 inch. I think master. Seems odd to me the swirliness. Excess of pics i am not sure wich ones are better.

Just over 3/4. The glass is dense light does not pass through. I think its a slag. Hopefully pics are good enough.

To me looks like a box to hold marbles within a game box.what ever the game might be. But i really dont know.
