danthemarbleman Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I found this one mixed in with a bunch german swirls and mf slages. Im assuming its old as well. Its 1" in size and the outside is not round by any means. I was leaning towards European wire pull, but im not sure. I have more pics from different angles if needed. Any thoughts ?

Al Oregon Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 That seems like a logical thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 After many years of wondering, we found a source for those marbles. The European wirepulls were made at Veiligglas in Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemarbleman Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks for your help. These storys are so interesting, yet sad because the factory site had been covered up by new development. Happy to hear some marbles were found there for positive identification. I feel so privileged to have a wonderful example in my collection 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
