Al made a good observation that the one we had picked for the xmas marble would be confused with a jabo, so how about this one gang? kinda covers some of the suggestions.... lavender '9', single ground pontil 2 color on clear, semi-butterfly... and it's mint too.

well, yeah I knew german,(lol) but since you have studied so much about this type Scott, I was hoping you had nailed down an area? And I know how long you have investigated the old germans, and extensively!

Area probably Lausha. Maker I have my suspisions that all these types were by Rolf Greiner. He, I would call the father of modern marbles. He started making marbles as manufacture. He also knew enough and experimented enough to make all his colors. The oxbloods, egg yolk yellow and a few other colors during this time period. Some colors esp oxblood wasnt used again until 50 yrs later when MFC started their manufacture. Most have the faceted pontil. His descendants are still making marbles.
