YasudaCollector Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YasudaCollector Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Unfortunately, I don't think they have any particular name to them. I think they just fall into the vague "Japanese patch marble" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
