The only way to make a glass piece with that detail is a torch paperweight technique. All cane attachment points can be cold-worked (polished) away. Cane-cut marbles are an entirely different method than paperweight technique. -
Its a machine made.

Maybe its because the pics are out-of-focus and the coloration seems odd, but I'm not 100% sure that its Akro.

Its in pretty good shape. I recommend against any treatment.

At one time, Bill Cokenhauer had two for sale at Ohio and other shows. I think they sold after quite a while and later Bill had a third one. IMO they are far more paperweights than they are marbles. Kids marbles aren't made in such large sizes. The technique is also paperweight. -

All German. The 3rd one is coreless. The 5th and 6th ones are divided ribbons. The rest are Lats.

If they are at the surface only - it would be crud on the rollers.

It is a funnel. Look at the glass to tell you what was being made at the time it was retired. I have two Akro Agate funnels: The first has translucent olive green glass with oxblood. The second has a little bit of everything stuck to the top, including a marble. The clear glass is a bit visually interesting because of the ghostly blue that is wafting through it.
