Sorry I haven't really responded to this thread in a long time. The fact that I couldn't find any further info on Hopf, even when asking the city/state archive of Coburg has basically stalled my research completely. I do now have Renée Holler's "Murmeln, Schusser, Klicker" book, but it doesn't reveal more about the company, except for the marbles they made. I find the marbles on the book's cover a bit hard to discern from Veiligglas. I think the ones from Hopf appear to have less crisp definition between the ribbon colours, but even that is disputable. I couldn't find any other differences.

That's a cool Peltier, but no Lutz. I think you may be mistaking the orange-ish colour combined with the bubbles for Lutz. It looks a bit like glitter and is almost gold in colour, surely that must be Lutz? No, it's not. It may create a similar effect, but it's far different from actual Lutz (copper or goldstone). When you get more experienced with real Lutz and AV, you'll be able to discern them from any look-alike-effects. It's quite a process, but you'll get it down eventually

What's it called? Sorry, I don't remember...

I just received a reply: The city archive also has no records of Hopf, but they recommended the Naturmuseum Coburg (museum of nature of Coburg) to me. Upon visiting the museum's website, I found that they have a marble mill, but it seems like they don't have any Hopf marbles. In the picture, that the link I've attached leads to, you can see they do have German marbles, but I don't recognise any Wirepulls. http://naturkunde-museum-coburg.de/index.php/ausstellungen/miscellanea

Update: No reply as of yet. IDK if I should contact them again, I'll keep waiting for a bit.

Lookin' nice!

Well, the state archive of Coburg said that they don't have a record of this company. However, they said I should try contacting the city archive of Coburg. That makes sense, since they are the ones who keep the records of companies in Coburg. So, I'll try that and let you know.

I'm gonna try contacting the archive of Coburg to see if they know anything regarding Hopf marbles.

I have ~5958 marbles, I still wanna have more. So yes, I'd say you definitely should

Cool picture!

If I was a tree, I'd be a tree.

I just listened to it, but I think I have to say that it's not really my cup of tea. However, I can understand why many people enjoy it, maybe it's an acquired taste...

By the way, I also like Bring Me The Horizon, especially "Sleepwalking" (the instrumental alone is already really good IMO).

Sounds cool (pun intended lol), thanks for the recommendation

Yup, nothing about Hopf or marbles.
