Just a stab in the dark here--Bocce balls!

Cool find for sure!

I thought the same (bocce ball)!  The metal also seems more like tin, stamped similar to tin ceiling tiles.

Google Lens returns a similar item for sale on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194906379245 

The seller describes it as made of tin, in India; for what it's worth.

Googling "Tin carpet ball" turned up a similar item, although slightly larger with brass included: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264996499323 

Cool orb!!!

Some impulse purchases, that I’m satisfied with. 

A sealed Charmander bag that is especially cool because the shown marble is Pikachu! The shown marble is always random, from the first 50 Pokémon (for series 1), so ~2% chance for Pikachu. Charmander and Pikachu were my favorite starters as a child, so this is neat to have on the shelf! Most of my Pokémon collection is in storage, maybe I’ll post a picture when I get it unpacked.

Don’t plan on opening it, and I  don’t plan on buying more unless I find an insanely good deal. The price for these Pokémon marbles is definitely increasing at the moment. It was tough to pay what I did for this, but I don’t want to pay double in a year…
 

My second purchase is related, a magazine advertisement from Toy Biz for the Pokémon marbles. I particularly love the message at the bottom, “ARTWORK SUBJECT TO CHANGE”, because none of the marbles in the ad depict what was actually produced. Gonna frame this up.

I decided to make a sticky post for people to share their exciting marble scores. Such posts always inspire but they get lost over time, so let's post them here where they will remain on top.

Sadly I have not had a good score in a long time, but this score from 2017 was my greatest of all time, worthy of sharing here.

Please refrain from asking here whether featured marbles are for sale/trade. If the owner wants to sell, they can post in the buy/sell forum. Thanks!

Wanted to share a gift my wife's cousin from Holland brought me this hand made marble bag with these in it . I am excited to have my first sulfide it is in excellent condition 😃. And my wife's aunt looked at the seams on the bag and said that it looks to be Victorian style stiching 🤯.

Sulfide is 1.14in...👍

The big I believe is clay not as heavy as I think a stone marble would be.:dunno:

That's a great gift, Tommy! When you say "with these in it", you aren't referring to all of the American marbles in the pic too, or are you?
