Teeny Tiny Teutonic Treasures

[treetiger]

Here are three peewees that could use some help with I.D./ names. I know that they are old German hand-mades. Latticinios? Thanks for looking and helping.

1. Divided core

2. Latticinio core

 

FYI - your camera is focusing on the background cloth, not the marble.  Its better to manually choose center focus.  Then your subject won't be so blurry.

I just read a post (Old rare Marbles buy/sell site---I  forgot and said 'archival--my bad) saying that the 1st one falls into the 'Tuxedo' category due to its Black and cream lines...

I've never heard the term "tuxedo" in relation to a divided core, or any other German handmade for that matter. It might just be me but my guess is it's not a commonly used term, so don't be too surprised if nobody knows what you're referring to when if you use it. 🙂

There is a site called 'Oldraremarbles.com' . I was on there yesterday. I just checked, they have a German swirl that is referred to as a 'tuxedo'. I thought it was a common term--my bad😉

I went to the Tukwila show back in 2017, they're usually pretty accurate w/ their I.D.

That is a reputable site you referenced - I am just unfamiliar with the term "tuxedo" as it relates to alternating black and white strands in a laticcino core, which is very rare indeed. Your first marble is not a laticcino, it is a divided core, so it does not qualify as a "tuxedo" given their use of the term.

Some laticcino cores can have colors other than white - imagine your second marble with yellow, orange or green strands in the core lattice. And sometimes, those colors can alternate with white.
