    2nd one is a fried marble.

    I'll also note that the clear is unusually clear.

    Best classification is a solid core. A rather ghostly one. It has no spaced bands at the core, so not a divided. The color is thin due to limited frit pickup in that particular area, likely near the end of the cane.

    Coreless swirl

    Handmade coreless swirls.

    Does the base actually have that pink tint as the pic shows?

    I'm not seeing any silver.

    Their only value is as a curio.

    From the last pic I'd call Divided core.

    11/16" Akro ?

    Alan replied to Scooter's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Akro all day.

    Those appear to be painted-on logos.

    Make sure you measure drawer clearance.

    It is a tri-level solid core. A nice one. Keeping the bands consistent when the cane has been worked down to 1/2" is a reflection of real skill. Cane cut marbles were made in Germany (and later, in England) from around 1860 - 1920.

    As noted - those aren't pontils. Pontils don't look like that.

    Its not a Clambroth. Maglite or other.

    Neither chocolate or oxblood.

    MK

    Alan replied to Fire1981's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Its a transparent Wasp. These showed up in the late 1980s. They are from that period.

    Its a very simple design to make. The technique is called "raking". Looks like they blew off annealing, but thats common when they are in a hurry. Its not really a pontil. Its a small diameter glass rod attachment.
  21. Alan
    Looks like a flop-over ingot.
  22. Alan
    Nice egg!
  23. Alan
    Those are 1990s new-ish MK. They were available in fair quantity, not really HTF at all.
  24. Alan
    They appear to be minimally buffed. "Buffed" is polished by hand with pontils remaining.

    The motor source states that they haven't sold that motor (or an equivalent) since 2017.
