supramisfit Posted January 8, 2024 Report Share Posted January 8, 2024 Here are some photos of what I believe to be fake/ counterfeit crockery marbles or "sharpie" marbles that someone local to me asked me to look at today. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a large example of fakes and a good example of what to look out for. Especially if these were to ever end up on the market and passed off as authentic. I would love to hear other opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 8, 2024 Report Share Posted January 8, 2024 The mouse is cute! but yeah, fake. The sharpie marbles are made with used ball mill balls. Very dense industrial spheres. I think these two were made differently by a different person than the sharpie marbles -- not just drawn on -- but still modern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramisfit Posted January 8, 2024 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2024 I appreciate the confirmation. I was fairly certain they were and I told the seller they were as well. I provided them with example photos of known fakes and authentic marbles. They seem surprised but were receptive. I just hope they don't get passed off as authentic to an unsuspecting buyer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
