Iain P Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well this is my third attempt at marble ID, after "discovering" marbles 2 weeks ago. I'm surprised to find I'm still not an expert yet 😊 This is another from the small jar I found at a car boot sale on Sunday. The previous 6 have been identified by your good selves as German handmade from late 1800s to early 1900s, so this is presumably the same era, but the design is different to the others. It swirls and doesn't have a core so my first guess is Coreless swirl, but it also looks rather like some Joseph's Coats I've seen here too, or do Joseph's Coats not have all the clear glass between the colours?  It's around 3/4" in diameter. Thanks, Iain    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhomer2172 Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 FYI.. a Joseph’s coat has colored threads that run from pole to pole with no base color, while an Onion Skin has threads, parts of threads, whisps and steaks of color over a base color. The color of the threads can vary and be diverse or very similar. Lol, your not an expert after two weeks!!!! You don’t know the half yet, I have 20 years and am not an expert and still learning!! Good luck!  jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
