Ak123456 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hi Im very new to marbles... My son thinks this is a “9” in the marble. Can anyone confirm this is a CAC? i’ll just add- identifying marbles is hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transitionals are hand-gathered, cut off, and rounded on a machine, and while the "nine" on this marble is weak, it's definitely there - that's a budding marble collector, for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The number 9 pattern is usually from being hand gathered on a punty rod. The 9 twist is from the person turning the rod in the hot glass. In order to gather the hot glass on the rod. Several marbles can be hand gathered, modern contemporary, old German handmades, transitionals, MFC, Akro, CAC, Peltier, Leighton, Navarre, and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak123456 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks @Ric it is so interesting how fascinated he is with marbles. We are using it as a big research project, he really is enjoying it. He tells his Grandma all about it too. I’m way out of my league but these forums are helpful to read ! Thanks for your encouragement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
