Ric Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Nice marble, Melissa, it sure looks like a pinched "pontil" transitional to me. Many of these came out of Canada but I am not entirely sure about their origins. I do not think they are American made, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 20 years ago he said the marbles on this Solitaire set by Chad Valley were the only type that were the same construction that were not the same as the Japan Yasuda marbles, in boxes he had been collecting. . IDK yours looks much more balanced than those in this photo but, the color matches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
