A New Type Of Lutz Marble Discovered

[JVVmarbles]

Recently I added a really great Lutz marble to my collection. It is different from any Lutz known. It has 3 Lutz bands edged with white lines and 3 panels of bright red. It is constructed like a josephs coat. Has any of you ever seen such a marble before?

Here's a pic.

Nice!!!!

3 RIBBON BANDED LUTZ 43/64" (0.675") 9.2 This unusual and very hard to find antique handmade marble has three lutz bands running between couple of pontils. two ribbons are bordered with thin white lines and one ribbon is bordered with blue lines on a black base glass. There are only as made imperfections on an otherwise unplayed with pristine surface. A rare antique marble.

That's really a different kind of lutz, and more common than mine. Yours is a 3 band Indian lutz. Mine has a clear base and the red panels are made out op thin red lines like a Josephs coat.

I have seen solid core marbles constructed similarly but not Lutz

Hi Jeroen: I believe there is a collector in Canada who has at least one , if not more, of this type Lutz in his collection. You are very familiar with this collector, however, I do not want to give out his name on a chat board without his permission. Send me an e-mail and I will give you contact information, if you wish. Best regards, Bob.

Thanks a lot for sharing, Hansel. Yes, it has the exact same construcion. Is this bead yours? Do you know how old it is and where it came from?

Hi JVV, I've had this bead many years - can't remember where I got it, and no idea how old it is. As rare as it is, bead collectors don't place that much of an additional premium on something that is already uncommon. For example, it's very difficult to find a genuine clambroth marble bead, but when you do, they don't cost 10+ as much as an ordinary marble bead. I probably did not pay much more for this 'lutz' bead than for a usual marble bead. Bead dealers seem less mercenary than marble dealers. regards, Hansel

Too bad some nitwit drilled a hole thru that yellow one.

[JVVmarbles]

If this was a marble, and not a bead, it would be VERY valuable! I think it's as old as lutz marbles and by the same makers.

Lutz marbles aren't all that old . . .
