Mixed_Bag_ Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I picked up an old lot of marbles. I've identified many but there are a few(especially this one) that have me scratching my Mellon. I've heard of wooden marbles, never had one though. This guy is big. There is a flat spot kind of like the eyes that Benningtons have, which is odd if this is wooden. I've looked up Gutta Perchas but doubt this is one because of the one colour... Unless it's unfinished? Sorry but size comparison is a standard sized marble, and thanks for any help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Not a Gutta Percha IMO, how's the weight, similar to glass or extremely light ?? Can you get any close up pix of the surface ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I put this one through a few turns in the photo editor. I appears to be pressed, as in between two molds. I could be a mixture of something that was pressed or maybe it was turned on a lathe? Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixed_Bag_ Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 It's light and why I'm thinking wooden. I'll get close ups but to give you a verbal idea, it's got a look like ceramic crazing without all of the defined crackles. If that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixed_Bag_ Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Not super paper light, there's a bit of weight but not like the smaller marble I had posted with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of something off from an old wooden "Tootsie Toy". Remember the wooden pull toys--the one with the ducks that wiggled back and forth😁. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'm of the belief it's wood also after seeing the dents in the exterior the close up and an explanation of the weight, thanks for takin the extra pix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
