treetiger Posted November 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Out of curiosity, what have other companies done to avoid touch marks on their products? Are touch marks found on other marbles from other makers like C.A.C. or Alley, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I agree with JABO. The touch marks are from rough handling and maybe softer glass, not sure. DAS has them too. They ding and zing and crash down ramps and baffles into the sides and each other, then drop into buckets, get stirred around and then poured from buckets into barrels, stirred around, then scooped out and poured into boxes. It's amazing any are mint when you think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing any are mint when you think about it. I guess that other companies like Vacor etc. have a different kind of retrieval process. I would also venture a guess that 'wet mint marbles' are uncommon during that retrieval process no matter what the manufacturing company. So would you consider hand made marbles to be the most pristine marbles as far as lack of marks, scuffs etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
