Ric Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Probably Master. If not, Akro. Tough call for me since it's hard to make out the cut-offs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take a closer look at the cut offs. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbles_on_Mind Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Interesting. I’ve blown these off in my past hauls. So you’re saying these are vintage? I’ll have to go back through everything….again! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 I would sort the OP as Master Glass "Brushed Patches". The red ones and the blue ones are the true killers of this type. There always seems to be way more white/clear than colored ones. I have only seen them with a white brushed patch on them. Nice marbles! That left one looks like it may react to UV. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I'd say most, if not all, are opaque Master Sunbursts as opposed to the Master "brushed patches" in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 What Ric, Kimbernugs and Melissa said X2. There was a drop in coloration when the Master Marble Company became the Master Glass Company. It was all a matter of keeping up with the new import rules regarding the Japenese and other Asian countries after WW2. American glass companies could hardley keep up with the changes and prices. I have always believed that yours are pre-war and the brushed patches are after-war. Quite a drop in eye appeal imho. Great marbles! Marble--On!!
