supramisfit Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 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 Report Share Posted January 8 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 Author Report Share Posted January 8 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...
