zaboo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 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.

zaboo Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaboo Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 this marble is over 100 years old... I guess a german named Scott could've made it... or wilhelm, or adolf.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
