COVRSWAP Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Hi all, Any ideas on this clear marble? A y shaped crease on one side and a green taint to the marble. 34.4mm in diameter.   any ideas on production method and age? Assume not collectible as no colour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Industrial marbles/spheres were used to polish a variety of items that needed to be touched up and quite frankly, polished. This included many varieties of metal as well that needed a final round of polish to get to the final sales. This is a bigger one, I am familiar with the 7/8” or the ¾” ones and these were called “Railroad” marbles for some reason that I may have forgotten. There may have been an accident that spilled these on the tracks somewhere. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 This reminds me of one of the spheres that Corning used to use in fiberglass production - don't know if they still do. Whatever it is, it has no collectible value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
