Dwarren Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks, so is that different than hand gathered? Any signs of a maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Common pattern and color combo for this type. The 'nine' pattern is characteristic of hand gathered marbles. Top left pic shows the cutoff. A member here spent a lot of time looking at these types and trying to characterize the cutoffs, but I don't think it ever really narrowed down manufacturer or origin. It was still an interesting study though. From my experience they are more often found in collections/groups originating from Europe or Canada (compared to US), and mostly ~5/8" size. Of course, there are going to be exceptions to both these points. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
