Opinions are very wide apart

 

I can see why the opinions are wide apart--this one is not an easy ID.
I have said this before and I will say it again—these hard ID’s come down sometimes to condition. 
This marble does not look like a recent make. The glass looks hard and true enough to call it a well cooked glass player type @5/8” in my world.
There is evidence of play wear here with this one.
I believe that this one is a “production made” marble intended for play back in the “Vintage” years.
I would try to get in contact with some “UK “marble dealers for a final evaluation.
This is my best my friend—after much consideration.
It is a very nice find regardless of the ID—just a killer marble!!
Marble—On!!

Hmmm, I see it as being 9/16".

I may be in trouble here with my conversions--oh well.

I have been out of it too long--I will get back to it-----pretty soon.

I appreciate all for your imput.

Marble--On!!

The calipers are at ~ .625", 16mm, or 5/8".

Except for the larger, “Special Order” Atmospheres—the more common ones that were sold by “ToysRus” in nets of three are 1”—plus or minus a bunch. They came no smaller than this.
This one is a hard one to ID.
Nice marble for sure! 
Marble—On!!

How sure are you about no smaller? 

I seem to recall seeing assorted sizes.  I recall being surprised and covetous.  But that recollection is from about 15 years ago and is not to be trusted.

No smaller for sure Steph--I can be no surer than 100% dealing with you my marble collecting friend. 
I have been researching these since they were cheap, I have always loved them.
I am usually 30-90% with my ID’s and 100% never happens in this league or this forum—I am there 100% with the Atmosphere’s size wise.
Marble—On!!
