Sport Marble? Need help identifying it! And if it's worth something...


Recommended Posts

Hi! I found this marble a few years ago.. and I find it so unique that I want to ask the worth to maybe brag about it LOL

This my only stamped marble and it has what I believe is a soccer team...

It's the size of a standard marble, it's clear, and has a red soccer team on one side. Image bellow! 

Please marble pros, help me identify this beautiful marble ❤️

Hi. Welcome.  If you love it, that's the value.

I call it a logo marble. Sometimes an organization or company will specially commission logo marbles with a legitimate manufacturer who has legal permission to use the images. 

Most often though for the past 40 years or so, it will be an Asian manufacturer who did the work, without legal permission,  and thus for much lower cost than the companies who obtain legal licenses. 

I don't recognize yours, so just take my answer as general background.

The size is important here--"Standard" does little for size measurement.
My standard is less than many and many have bigger “Standards”.
Size always matters-in measurements’.    
I like this one for some reason and would like to see some more.
Marble—On!!

Tomorrow I'll measure it!

Here are a few more pics of it! I didn't edit this ones, but it's similar to the size of a kecap of my keyboard...

Either way I'll measure it in the morning and quote you again ^^ 

I'm glad you like it! It's one of the most unique ones from my collection...

Ok so I been doing some research of the logo that appears.

It's from the soccer club Huracán from Argentina.

It was founded in 1908...

So like Steph said, that the cheap ones started to be produced in this lasts 40 years, and the club its older than that. There might be a possibility of it being an original product of the club in a way to promote the team???

Just a theory I had...

Because I don't think that they would do this kind of promotion with marbles in the resent years. Mostly because in my opinion, it wouldn't much appeal to the audience.

I know that marbles are for everyone, but it's mostly focused for children entertainment. That's how I played with my cousins back then, we would go to a plaza, play on the dirt with the marbles and have a good time. 

But that's what I think. I might be completely wrong tho... You guys know much more than me ^^

This appears to be a nice logo marble from Argentina. 
I would not doubt that it was made with “German Influence”.
Nice find!
Marble—On!!
