Canica Chica Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I found this buried in an old landfill near my house. I have also unearthed many marbles during my digs. Not sure how to ID them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Man ! The only way to ID that is to break it open. I’d leave it as is for sure 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to ID them. This is a tuff one to be sure--thanks for saving it. Not an "Onionskin" however--just a cool old marble. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Looks like, after it was rolled and kicked in the gutter, bounced on the sidewalk 30 times and then used as sling shot ammo, tossing it into the fire pit, it just wouldn't die so, it went out to the ash pile where it sat until you came along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canica Chica Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 It’s a tad short of 1 inch in diameter. I’ll post another few photos where I have it held up to the sun and a bit of light does shine through and also another photo of what does look like a pontil mark? I’m new to this so I truly appreciate all of the help! @Fire1981 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
