Sally Knepper Jechura Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hello, I am new here. I bought an old bag of marbles at a Chicago flea yesterday. I was intrigued by this rather large one. It appears to be old. The surface is odd to me, as you can see from the photos. It is not damaged, it was made this way - or it occurred over time. It is translucent amber color. About 1 3/8" in diameter on my rule (couldn't locate my calipers this morning), and weighs over 2 ounces (60 grams). I know about a lot of things, but not marbles. Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks like what some would call "orange peel" surface (probably had something to do with the marble machine rollers not being warm enough). It's a big size for a clearie and could be a way to narrow down manufacturer ie: Vacor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
