Here's another guy (Yasuda pinch pontil) that I found a couple days ago in a large jar mostly full of opaque game marbles and older Japanese cat's eyes.
-
Sure! Technically, I got it all from Aiko. She's been collecting a lot longer than I have.
-
I think the hardest to find are the pinks/purples. (At least from my experience). But I think those colors were mainly made by the Nippon Special Glass Ball MFG co (all of my purples are crease pontils).
-
Aiko says if they have a long, spidery crease pontil (not a short pinch pontil) then they were made by another company. That company was the Nippon Special Glass Ball MFG Co Quite a mouthful 😵💫
-
Ooh! Nice finds! 😎 I heard Aiko say that the figure 8's were made from 1936 to 1941.
-
Thank you guys! 😀 It's so nice being here. I feel like I've found my people!
-
I'm Aidan Rodriguez (YasudaCollector). Here I am with Aiko's new book. I swear, it felt like Christmas getting it! 🥳🥳🥳

I found 6 of these guys yesterday (a personal record) near Pike Place market in Seattle! All are about 0.9" 🥳 I also found some smaller caged examples in a light Lavendar-ish blue/purple. One of them even has brown on it too!
-
This one's a more reddish medium purple. 😎
-
Another shout out to the York Nebraska marble museum!
-
Awesome finds guys!!! I'll have to rummage through my collection. I think I have a ton of these ones.
-
Ooh, I have some Jabo classics (mib size) that look a lot like the first guy.
-
Nice marble!
-
Maybe its from another Asian country like Taiwan or India? (Those two countries usually have a ton of bubbles).
-
Is there any way to tell (by specific vein colors or color combos) if a caged cats eye was made in Anacortes?
-
Wow!!! Awesome mibs! 😎😎😎
-
I agree, the name is pretty cool 😆 Since I live pretty close to Anacortes, I always wonder if I'll find any in the various jars I pick up here and there. Interestingly, I did read in pinx's book that the workers at Anacortes were given a ton of leeway in the marble making process with color combos (which resulted in a ton of cool hybrids).
-
Here are some caged cat's eyes I've picked up over time. Do any look like they could be Anacortes types? I've heard they are often hybrids and have very clear glass with lots of teeny tiny bubbles.

Sorry for the delayed response 😬 I couldn't make it this year (my dad had a birthday trip booked). I am open for the Seattle show next March though.

Thank goodness for Elizabeth Kempski's book

Here are some more of the 1970s ish Chinese types I found recently:
-
Very nice marbles! I think its incredible to see original collections like these. 🙂
-
Those guys look awesome! I agree, the wrinkly crease lines are a nice extra.
