Alan Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 IIRC (and I may not) - they are reminiscent of those contemporary marbles being sold out of Germany about a decade ago. I emailed them back then about purchasing - but never heard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Now you can try again to order some -- this time from a Czech company. http://www.glass-sphere.com/en/eshop/zavodni-presne-kulate-kulicky-na-hrani-kusovy-prodej.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleecee Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I kinda like these...esp the newer bullet mold types....hmmm; think I might need some soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Those would be well over $4.00/each marble delivered, assuming no customs charges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Do we think machine-made on the corky ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I do not. Looks like very obvious signs of grinding IMO. Very common to grind these Czech balls round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Those black and white ones look so very Akro-y to me. I sorta hoped that someone was using machine cork technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I verified with them that those "precision" ones like the corkers are about $4 each, which seems crazy at 5/8". Must be a lot of labor in grinding them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
