chocomibs Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Is the small one a bullet mold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I think that the two darker ones are contemporary—made to look like old—the larger one may be a WVS. No “bullet molds” here at the least--imho. I appreciate all opinions and wish for some more. Nice marbles and size matters here. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocomibs Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 The smaller one is 5/8 the other two are 3/4. No seams on the pink one that would give it away for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Different pics might help, I think I'm seeing a lot of reflections Smaller one obviously looks like guinea, what color is the base glass? Seam looks tighter than what you'd normally see on bullet mold (and most contemporaries). but the base glass is throwing a curve. Is that a pontil on 2nd one? (first pic)? pattern looks abstract enough, could be contemporary. 3rd looks like Veliliglass to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the smaller one had the seam line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocomibs Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 Could they be clay contemporarys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 If they're not glass, I'd guess polymer - pretty tough to get that sort of finish using clay. If polymer, they should feel quite a bit lighter than a glass marble of the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
