The Haul 03

Some Germans and some stones, china.

The black one upper left is intriguing - can you tell what it is made from? And you can put those German swirls in a glass of water if you want to get a good look at the innards.

Agreed Ric--it reminds me of lead.

Sizes always matter with marble Id’s.

The penny and nickel work well—a calipers does the trick though. Get a plastic one from Amazon or Ebay and take a shot with them or just measure and list the measurement in inches please---Fractions and MM take too much time to cross reference for a lot of folks that would otherwise give you an ID.

The stone ones are a hard ID for almost everyone. They are collectable as a display item for many folks—collected by very few marble collectors.

The striped one on the top right may need more images—wait for more responses though.

The “Germans”—the two lower left may need more images as well—wait for more responses though.

I am a machine made guy.

Marble—On!!

That'll help a lot for the German handmade aficionados here and I'll let them handle these two - may need another view or two to get a good look at the core  to make a proper ID.

Left looks like a Divided ribbon core (R) is a tri stage solid core

Photos of black marble . . .

That black one sort of looks like it might be one of the notorious "black balls" - a hand made ballot marble, maybe.

Thanks guys.
