marboman Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 The marble on the left I have had for 15 years at least. I just found the other a few weeks ago ,both have identical pontils right down to those red glass spots. Anybody know? 4N? Thanks, any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Very cool marbles! Not a pontil but cutoff marks imho. This one is a WVS and if it is not an Alley Agate I will be surprised. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Nice find! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted December 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yes most say Alley these are single pontil or shearer marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 All Alleys are machine made . Pontil only on hand mades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted December 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 I was thinking pinch pontil transitional, cut off line at one pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look where the white dives into the marble. The red may be a result of pollution from lubrication or other means. (copper lubricant amy be the culprit) These two match up quite well--maybe two from a hundred or so out of a million or so.( I may be a dreamer) Nice pair for sure! Of course, I appreciate all opinions. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho I think most of the pinch pontil you are referring to if American are Barberton/Navarre. Or Japanese type. Nice Alleys btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
