Ric Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Continental Europe is believed to be the origin of the marbles referred to as Spotted Dicks, some of which may be dark brown with white spots. Does anyone have any information or pictures of such marbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have one of the white with black spots, bigger than 3/4 inch. I've never seen the brown ones before. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I thought they were pretty weird as well. They are a good size with the biggest brown one checking in at a hair under 1" and the biggest white one is pretty much dead on 1". No idea what they are worth but I will list a couple up on the Bay when I get home. Where the heck is Scott? We need our non glass handmade pro back.
