Ric Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 A lot of them were originally found in Canada but I think the belief is they originated in Japan. There has been a lot learned about the Japanese marble companies lately, primarily due to research by people like @shiroaiko, so maybe somebody else will be able to ID the maker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Ooh, I have a lot of these Japanese marbles with straight pinch pontils. Should I post a few pictures? According to Aiko, all Japanese transitionals with pinch pontils were made by Yasuda. All of the transitionals with messy crease pontils (like Frankenstein stitches) were made by another Japanese company called the "Nippon Special Glass Ball MFG Co". Quite a mouthful! 🤣 Sorry for all the information, I've been emailing Shiroaiko a lot lately. She really has found a boatload of information though.🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
