Marbleneophyte Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Here's a strange one. Reminds me of a slag. It has an internal finger-like structures that wrap around the circumference of the marble. At the poles there are what appears to be small pontils. Measures about 21/32. Is this some unusual German handmade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These types are commonly referred to as transparent swirls. But they do fit the definition of a slag (white striping glass in transparent base glass), and long ago "slag" had an even more generic meaning. I've heard some old-timers use the term "slag" to distinguish glass marbles, regardless of how they look, from stone and clay marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 100% machine made, (no pontils) the "dimples" you see are a common "defect" to machine made marbles, agree w/ Alley, nice mib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
