AvvaRae Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 They are Transparent Glass with mostly opaque Swirls of all sorts of colors (I am horrible at taking photos so excuse that lack of luster and ability to get super close in detail) I don't have my calipers atm so sizing is difficult (when I find them I'll edit) They are insanely beautiful in person these photos really don't do them justice... thanks for all your help Marble Comrades ☺️🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to message you lol but we can't send photos without a link via messaging .. I was reading a prior conversation you had about your "Red Cloud" & the "Hot To make" runs... Which made me look closer at these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think that Champion is a good call here. If you can afford to buy marbles a calipers is very cheap---just mho. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have ours put up. And they know not to touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 1 hour ago, AvvaRae said: 9.5,10.5 & 11 mm I've found three different sizes Normal tolerances for marble production are not that tight. The 1.5 mm difference between the largest and smallest you describe amounts to about 6/100". Vintage American marbles had tolerances of about 1/16", e.g., a No. 0 marble (nominally 5/8") was anywhere from a hair over 9/16" to 5/8", while a No. 1 marble would be anywhere from a hair over 5/8" to 11/16", etc. And FWIW, I think the peewees you're showing may be JABOs.

et cetera Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I agree with Jabo. The low glass quality/weak color saturation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
