Most likely.  Foreign to the US

Ooh, the first group looks like figure 8 marbles. Aiko says they were made by the Nippon Special Glass Ball MFG Co from 1936 to 1941.

As for the individual marbles, the first four look like more figure 8's. 

The two slags at the end look like Japanese transitionals (the first looks like Nippon Special Glass Ball MFG Co product). The second one could be a Yasuda pinch pontil (since I can't see a big crease pontil).

Thank you. Do you know some of them just have one stripe on them. what are type are these called 

[YasudaCollector]

Unfortunately, I don't think they have any particular name to them. I think they just fall into the vague "Japanese patch marble" category.

I have a few of these, and asked Aiko about them. She thinks they were made by Nippon as well during the same time as the figure 8's. 

[YasudaCollector]

Interestingly enough, most of the pre-war Japanese marbles seem to be Nippon products, not Yasuda.

 

For example, Aiko seemed to say that she comes across far fewer pinch pontil transitionals than crease pontil transitionals.

Thank you for the information and the reply
