  1. Here are some more I got from the Nebraska marble museum.
  2. I think the one in picture 3 is Chinese (like 1930s or 1940s).
  3. These guys are all 1 inch shooters (I like the crudeness of them).
  4. These look a lot like the 1970s ish "made in Taiwan" cat's eyes:
  5. This guy's funny, I looked very closely all over the marble, but I couldn't see any pontil at all. Was the pinch/crease line smoothed out in the marble making process?
  6. Thank you so much for posting this! πŸ™‚ I live only a couple hours away from Anacortes. There's probably tons of these marbles in western Washington. I was also always curious about how to differentiate these guys from other vitro/JABO products.
  7. The gray base glass is super seedy and fizzy. I think there's some dark frit from the oven mixed into the bubbles.
  8. By the way, I just found this guy a couple of days ago:
  9. Nice ones! (I love the background too) it makes the marbles come out really crisp. L
  10. Thank you! πŸ™‚ It is really interesting to see the variety that Japanese transitionals come in. Both Dave's and mine seem to have a lot more white than usual. It's almost like the white is the base glass and not the swirls.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. This guy is about 0.68" and does have a small pinch pontil at the top.
  14. 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.
  15. 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).
