This is one of my best marbles, a 1-9/16 inch single hand gather. The size of this one is rare for this kind of marbles. They are also called transitional marbles, but they are not. I will post an article about these group of marbles later. This marble is probably made in the period 1830-1840. It has a very smooth faceted pontil. The base glass is green. I am curious if some of you have similar marbles.

Regards,

Jeroen

Jereon, Absolutely fantastic marble but that type(handgathered faceted pontil handmade) does show up in a Catalog from around 1880 I beleive. Directly under the box in this add http://i119.photobuc...-1183927117.jpg could be 1860 or 70 but I am still looking for proof they were making glass marbles in 1860
