Is it just high hopes that I harbour, or are these marbles astoundingly rare?

   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.

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.

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. :)
