Fire1981 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Yes it is ! Are there bigger or smaller ones ? I think there are some on a white base that are HTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Almost every one I've seen is small, some have come close to 5/8ths but never hit the mark, some a bit smaller, nearer to pee-wee size (.50") than 9/16ths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Is it a Guinea ? Or does this have a different ID ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just about positive it's a "Bullet mold" (probably Czech) to much of a gap at the seam for a Christensen, plus the seam runs what appears to be all the way around the mib.

Fire1981 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Got it from Marble Alan before he died. This was the only one I could afford. I don’t know how many factories made bullet molds or where they were located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Unfortunately, little is known about Czech marbles. Here is a text about these pretty and somewhat mysterious marbles The image below, includes some marbles of various sizes inherent in the 30s or 40s, such as the one in question. Some even say 20 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
