Fred Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Bought this marble with a few other old marbles. It’s base seems to be transparent red on one side and transparent blue on other side. It has opaque yellow and white glass flowing through it. I think the transparent colored glass makes it seem like it is very colorful. The glass is textured like a handmade German. Size is just under 1 1/4 inches. Bought a green mica, a blue dyed agate, green dyed agate, purple Popeye, a parrot and a few other old marbles with it so I think it is old. Any idea on what it is or when made or by a certain company would be appreciated. Thanks Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi. Welcome. That looks like a machine-made cutline, not a handmade pontil. But you''re only seeing one cutline? What does the opposite side of the marble look like? Unusual color combination/configuration. At that size I might think Vacor. But I don't recognize the style. Maybe someone else will .. or will have a different opinion about the cutline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The second picture is opposite cut line. The yellow and white just swirl around and return to the cut line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1-1/4" diameter size is about the right size for a Chris Robinson "Road & Tunnel". However, without seeing it in person, I may be wrong. If Chris pops in, he would be the best judge of his work.

Fred Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I checked out the previous thread about Chris Robinson marbles. It sure looks like something he might of made. Will have to look into more of his work. I bought it with about 9 other old marbles out of a small box of marbles. Wasn’t any modern marbles or cat eyes in the box lots of commons though. Thanks for the info Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I agree with John - that looks like a Chris Robinson creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
