Adrian Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have several marble designs that I am at a complete loss as to the identification of. They are all single pontil, but some very few which the pontil was rounded to the corresponding area of the marble so as to blend in very well. I'm eager to hear what you think. Thanks.

Adrian Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Here are some other angles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) And a few more... The yellow/golden one is opaque light blue without light being shone through. I just couldn't upload that particular photo because of its size. Update: The light blue opaque is the same as the honey colored one with the blobbish ghost swirl. The updated photo is without light being shone through it. And by the way, the clear ones with the strange blood red ribbons are uranium glass. Edited July 11, 2016 by Adrian Need to add comparative pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi Adrian, welcome. I think what you are seeing as a pontil is really a machine-made cutline. So they actually have two cutlines but probably the other one got rounded in so well on the rollers that it's harder for you to see. Not astoundingly rare.

Adrian Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Could you help me with what any of these might be called? I can't find any of similar appearance throughout thorough researches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 This one is a Clearie with some foreign matter in it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 This one would probably fall into the category known as Game Marbles: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is this the Clearie with the foreign material? Or ?? For most marbles, it's important to show us pictures taken in normal lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Again, normal lighting needed -- from here I'd guess we're looking at more Clearies. However, I don't want to say too much until I get a better view: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
