Wow, never seen the 1" Ajax before.  Anyone know how large the Euro Sparklers go?  I recently found an extra large one that is 1-3/32" (1.09").

The largest Euro sparklers I've come across are just over 1-1/16", so probably close to 1.09"

 For sure there are way more purple and green colored marbles over here. I'll see what I can dig up.

 Here is the biggest Sparkler I have. The rest in the group are 1 1/8" or a bit under.  Not sure how small they go 5/8"ish I guess. I'll look.

Yep all the same marble in the first group of pics. The lot was a mix of single seam and double seam marbles. They were nowhere near the 3cm stated by the seller and are actually all around just over 7/8" to a hair under 15/16". All look to have a clear transparent base glass hence the depth they show. Very hard to capture in a pic with this near obsolete camera. 

Better pics of the group

I don't know anything about machine mades, but I've had these 7/8" mibs since childhood in the 60s. They might be Velliglas from what I've read here.
