Master "Brushed" Patch, a collectors name I think. A nice one.

I like the blue transparent based like this, almost a cobalt blue sometimes.

The red based ones are pretty cool too. More than often they are on a clear base.

Marble--On!!

I’m going to kick the bucket here. Is it a fact that Master used some type of gold in their red transparent base glass ?

I’ll stick around for this one 😂

I am glad that you stuck around Fire,

Lets kick the bucket some more. I worked on this awhile.

Here is a big red Master Made marble, 15/16”.

I do not even know what to call it, Master Made works for me.

Gold “salts”, a solution of dissolved gold has been used in glass making in many, many, really many years past. I would not doubt that in the early years, marble makers used the same recipes involving such. In my research, this would have not been the most expensive color to make. ( pure gold was used in/on some glass—way back when)

I remember my mother in law “keeping” an old beer bottle made of red glass because it was “made with gold” and family members “claiming it” when she died---what a farce and a disgrace.

I love red glass and many other colors including none as well. My wife loves to collect seashells, which took more time and effort to make? Which is more beautiful or older, it is all up to the collector’s eye.

Marble—On!!

I don't think Master used gold for red marbles.
