akroorka Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Sunburst? Well not quite--maybe a run of the mill. The thing is with Master vs Asian is not just the seams but the glass and the construction as well. A few folds here and there will push it towards an Asian made. The finish on the seams will always push it towards a Master for me. Not Master Glass but Master Made. This one has a few as-made little indents or inverse little bubbles that I associate with Master made marbles. The pocket wear is what I would expect to see in a Master. Master Made Marbles made some of the finest ever to compete with the Stone agates that all glass marble makers were competing with at the time. They held up to a lot of abuse. It is hard to find a really beat up Master Made Marble in my experience . This is all of course my humble opinion. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
