winnie Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I got this from my son,he got these from a lady in her 50's and she played with them. It's 1.1/8 of an inch. They look like a sparkler type but are different from the German sparklers. Is there someone who knows something about them,or maybe have the same marbles? Thanks,winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi Winnie, I do not recall ever previously seeing this style of marble in this size. Quite the find! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 That's a great marble! It does look like a German sparkler to me. I have some with those colors but mine are pretty banged up. Where did I put them? I am so unorganized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks folks,I like em too. Strang thing is I never saw them before and now i've this whole group and know nothing about them.LOL I have many German sparklers but these are different they are more swirling while the German sparkler looks more tight. winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Oh yeah- I see what you mean now. They do look different when grouped like that. Nice marbles Winnie! Very nice. A great photo too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semdot Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Looks like a German sparkler to me too, even though this is more swirly and colorful and lacks characteristic orange peel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I think yours are some colorful swirly examples, Winnie. Here's some from another post, also around the same size but with really notable "orange peel" surface. I've got a couple similar ones, but less colorful/swirly. Did these come in Camel boxes or was that a different type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Any of the German Sparklers I've seen have all been of a smaller size and decidedly different in appearance than these that you have come up with Winnie. Yours might just be a first surfacing of this style and size. Then any minute I'm sure someone will chime in and offer a like example with provenance. That's the way it works. But I suspect this is the first time these have been brought to the attention of quite a few people. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I just read the other recent "camel box" thread, that's the same box (but not the same marbles) that I was thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
