Al Oregon Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Gotta be foreign. I'd lean to Netherlands but you would know those better than we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 It reminds me of an old vacor Michaelangelo without the red. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 4 hours ago, Mojo said: 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!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall being surprised and covetous. But that recollection is from about 15 years ago and is not to be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!
