LevvyPoole Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Seriously- how on earth would this happen? In UK there isn't much opportunity to buy Sammy's, so when I spotted 15 for sale, I excitedly purchased them... Well, I was slightly mislead, as 2-3 appear to be Jabo, this one is damaged. The others are absolutely stunning, so I'm still very happy with them, but I'm pretty sure they are a mix of Sammy's and DAS. I'll put pictures up later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I like this marble. It got thrown off the rollers because the next marble behind it kicked it into the pit or something like that. Sure it’s a misfit but it’s still a nice little piece of almost round glass. Now ? What Run and When🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Run and When🔥 RAR Yeah, luckily we can see the charm of the little one having its insides on show. And yep, it definitely means it can easily be displayed anywhere without rolling away... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 It's a paperweight now. A nice one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 If the edge is somewhat rounded (appears like it might be), it is an annealing flaw where the missing piece popped off. It doesn't appear to be flat-spotted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I believe this is a DAS marble. I have about 10 or 20 of these types of marbles up for grabs. You can find my contact info on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't appear to be flat-spotted. I agree with Alan here. Something happened where a piece popped off while in the rounding process on the rollers. I have seen plenty of flat sided marbles but they generally have two flat opposing sides. This is hard to explain but it does happen. Once in awhile a marble does not want to roll to a round form. "Flat Spotted" may need to be explained in greater detail than I have to offer here. Thanks Alan! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing that in hand, its much darker than in the pic (a lot of flash there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, from the little I know about these things "annealing fracture " was something I thought, as it's such a clean edge... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevvyPoole Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Nope, very round, if you ignore the missing bit. Here's another picture I took earlier- can't get access now as it's in my kids room and don't want to wake anyone up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that in your newest pics, the remaining glass is convex. Given that, I'll stay with my initial suggestion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
