Fire1981 Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM I’m always looking for the Lefty hand mades. Traditional right handed marble makers spin/spun the cane counter clock wise. Lefties spin/spun it clock wise. Here are the examples. Righty is first and lefty second. Sort yours and see if you have any Lefty’s. If so…..Score🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefties spin/spun it clock wise. I don't get this - I'm right handed and I would be spinning it clockwise. I totally understand the idea of right and left hand spins but I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with whether the marble maker was right or left handed, just which direction they were prone to twisting the cane. Added Later . . . Did you mean, "Makers of right handed marbles spin/spun the cane counterclockwise, and makers of left handed marbles spin/spun the cane clockwise"? Because that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago That makes sense. It also has to do with which side of the Glory Hole they are working from🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that would be most significant for single-gather marbles. I'm not so sure it was as significant when pulling and twisting canes. And I have a feeling that which side of the glory hole they were working had more to do with looking into it and seeing what they were doing rather than which direction they were gathering the marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Scott Myers(Old) brought this up when I had him make some marbles for me. Some Artist have the ability to spin it both directions. Mike Barton (Migbar) was really good at that. I just like findings these.🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
