Ric Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm not too knowledgable about these types but the open poles suggest they have been polished. I doubt they are "end of day" marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 End of cane ? , see a pontil on one side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks polished with remnants of pontils, the rets of the surface of the marble if polished is most likely very smooth, clean with no residual tool marks. The yellow latt, looks like it hasn't been touched, very good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like what's left of a ground or faceted pontil after polishing, very shiny clean and smooth around the pontil, I can see your reflection on the left. Sure wish I had it in my hands I could tell ya for sure in one second what if anything has been done to it. Look for some tool marks somewhere on the rest of the surface, if you can't find any going round & round at all & the surface is perfectly smooth I would say polished for sure. I'm somewhat baffled, it appears to be an original surface on the right hand side ?? Also clean around the pontils like it was hand buffed, but only at the pontils, the rest of the surface appears cloudy, looks like pocket wear??

I'llhavethat1 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 nice marbles! I've seen onionskins open up like that near end of cane so I'm not yet convinced it's buffed/polished. If original that's a very nice marble with the mica and all. I think the term "end of day" is more of a myth when applied to marbles, although a fitting term for other types of glass manufacturing where you used up what you had left and made whimsy items (like turtles for example).

wvrons Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Is that Onion Skin old or new ? If it is old it has been worked on. It just does not look right for a old original Onionskin. I agree about end of day being mostly myth and just a sales pitch to increase price. Why not beginning of day ? Who knows what would be the last marble, end of day. In one days time there would be hundreds of end of cane from one person. The first off of cane and last off of cane can be different. But end of day ????? Maybe they were there in person when the last marble was made that day ????????????? So many marble terms are nothing but sales pitches or traps to get more money. Like Golden Rebels are rare. I see them for sale at every show, every where. They are nice marbles but not rare in my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 This a piece of a cane that didn’t get finished with a marble. Turned into a paper weight. I always thought an End Of Day was a marble that had one pontil with the ribbons ending in it and a clear pontil to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Kinda like a "Cloudy" End Of Day. Hardly another rotation. Cut it and Cup it and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
