Master Made Marbles were designed to compete with the “German Hand-made” marbles, both in design and hardness.
Yours is just huge but it saw some great action in the pits. Yes, it is beat up but this one speaks to me—I just love it.
I have not seen many of these larger ones, let alone one that has seen this much play. Someone was winning with very big thumbs and fingers there. Just a monster marble and the player/shooter as well, what a bully this one was.
I am ready to call it a Master Made Marble—an earlier one—not Master Glass Marble but a Master Made Marble from the earlier times.
The base glass was harder—or sometimes softer than the outlying glass, giving the idea of it being a pontil.
Glass does not mix, it just gets along with each other, and it takes hits such as yours in different ways. Generally, the outer glass is the weakest.
I know that Master Glass made some that were similar, just not as deep in color as this one. (the white)
I had fun with this one and I appreciate all opinions regardless of my post.
Thanks for sharing this one!
Marble—On!!
