Steph Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Now I'm reading the comments and going, "oh yeah, that's the farthest thing from safe." But still, very interesting to see. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Pretty interesting as it's type, I don't know that anybody has identified them. I stopped the video to capture them. It looks like multiple types are being made. Cat eyes like Peltier and mixed with more types. Your guess is as good as mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff54 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Oh, that was easier than I thought it would be: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x3a3942b27436b927%3A0xbcbef360116b7082!3m1!7e131!4s!5sGlass Marbles India!15sCgIgAQ&hl=en&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipMiwX-r3Vqg2huICG8eSKh8mW68_3ltkXfzar46# The link to their "swastik" logo, cross-threw and regular cats plus some strange porcelain-looking marbles that might be machine-made for the smooth and excellent spherical shape. Their manufacturing building that's in the video, with logo on gates. Examples and stuff that's shown on the Google Maps page side bar. I simply typed in Google: "Glass Marbles India" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinx Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Ah, this may solve the mystery of the 3 vane single color cat’s eye (as seen in Steph’s link). Most marbles I’ve seen that were identified as being from India were single vanes, globular, with very seedy base glass. Great thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
