Guest browse4antiques Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Here's a couple of recently listed "lutz" marbles. How do they look to you? ...

BobBlock Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Based on the images of the pontil, the first looks buffed, the second looks polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wediscount2 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 The top one is completely phony. The bottom one has been repaired on a 5 step Lapidary machine, that's why it's grape shaped in 2 of the photos, and the pontils have been doctored on both ends.

ann Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Agree with wediscount about the top one -- the "cord-like" nature of the lutz bands (third pic) is something I've seen in a fair number of contemporary marbles . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Watching and sorta remembering that I have seen quite a bit of this type showing uo on ebay in last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
