Hoody Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Please tell me: in jeeperman's last picture above, the lowest part on the right shows this ring. Is this a typical mark of a pontil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 It is more that a contemporary maker will polish that away, why Brian left the pontil I am not sure, maybe so it would be obvious that it is a new handmade and not an actual Brick. Pontil maks can look different depending on how it is finished, this looks to be melted smooth. Are you looking for views of new or old Pontil images?

Hoody Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Oh, thank you. I am not looking for special kinds but just to know how such pontils might look like. Maybe some of the contemporary I have got are not machine made but hand made ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Nearing the end of the month for this color. So hard to resist, that oxblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I have some oxblood Tributes ... but will I photograph them in time? Probably not. I've photographed marbles three days in a row though ... at least one marble ... so maybe. lol ... why is it so hard for me to photograph? I'm a goomer.

lstmmrbls Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Brian put melted pontils on the marbles so they can be identified as his marbles. Done in the Leighton method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Not this one. He tossed it on the rollers of the Peltier machine that he recently salvaged. On later experiments he eliminated the orange peel by giving the rollers another extra-fine cleaning . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I can't tell if this is metallic. Let's say it is since that will make the color more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
