Looks handmade

To me it kinda resembles a pontil where the little nipple points up on the pole. However that cold roll lead me to believe it's been machine rolled. I then thought maybe it's a transitional period type of marble. It keeps catching my eye and drawing my attention back to it everytime I see it within the group it's stored in. It also appears to have that signature hand twisted 9 pattern within the glass flow coming to pole where the cold roll is at. I've studied it intensely but maybe I'm looking too hard as ive been known and guilty of doing.

Lastly it's UVR and it seems to glow just like most the clear German Swirls. Not too intensely but nevertheless green. Also on the bottom pole it appears to have been smoothed out with just a little bit of the pontil mark still left behind. If it is a pontil in the 4th picture down

Respectfully, you're doing ID based on the outside of the marble (and it's obvious defects) instead of looking at the interior.
