YasudaCollector

If I find a pinch pontil marble, I kind of assume it's Japanese since I've heard CAC handgathered transitionals were only produced for a very short period. In contrast, I heard Aiko say Yasuda produced pinch pontil marbles from 1933 to 1939.

Sure! Unfortunately, I'm not that knowledgeable about CAC transitionals. I have seen CAC's with the characteristic diaper fold seam, but never any of the earlier handgathered marbles.

This guy is about 0.68" and does have a small pinch pontil at the top.

My brother (also a marble collector) has had this marble for several years. We've gotten several different opinions about it, but have never been fully sure of what it is.

Thank you! 😃

Should I buy it just for the heck of it? 🤣 It's not in the original bottle (It looks like it was pretty well played with).

Since everybody has been posting their Yasuda transitionals lately, I thought I would create this thread for us all to share our Yasuda collections in. 🙂

Just thought I'd ask, but did the codd bottle marbles ever come in the 1 inch size? I think I may have found one at an antique shop near me. It is a lavendar-ish tint, has a ton of bubbles, and has the characteristic rough spot and seam of codd bottle marbles.(It is in pretty bad shape though). Regrettably, I forgot to take a picture, but still thought I'd ask everyone about it.

One of them came from the marble museum in Nebraska. I swear, that guy who runs it has any marble you can think of! 🤯

Nice Japanese transitionals! The pink ones are pretty rare. (2 out of 95 in my personal collection).

There's also this guy which I found from a separate seller:

Here are 2 I got from the York Nebraska marble museum (the ebay store):

Does that mean it's an Asian cat's eye?

Here are some other funny color combinations I found:

The colors didn't come out as bright in the picture 🫤

Here is the cobalt blue/violet vitro cat's eye:

I stuck them in this old Chinese rice box.

Here are all my vitro cat's eyes:

I'll post some tomorrow morning when the light is better.
