I am on the fence here---leaning towards Alley a bit--the colors line up with Alley imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!

Alta Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Agreed that this one looks German. But to answer the question, I have a likely CAC striped slag that is 0.82 so it is possible at that size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted November 6 Author Report Share Posted November 6 Well then it's misidentified at Ruby Lane. https://www.rubylane.com/item/2220133-000169/Vintage-Toy-Marble-CAC-Christensen-Striped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Ouch. I think everyone here gave a positive ID for you. I’m not up to speed on this Ruby Lane person but everyone has their own ideas and opinions🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not up to speed on this Ruby Lane person but everyone has their own ideas and opinions🔥 RAR They are some kind of antique dealer so I took it for granted it was a CAC. What's it more valuable as? A German or CAC? These antique dealers can be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 It’s always comes down to what it just sold for CAC or not🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 It also depends on what they bought it for and how many they have🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just interested in it's size. Being how big it is, it must be a German and they don't know it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned earlier there are CAC slags of that size... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should contact them about their marble, abstract more information/history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted November 7 Author Report Share Posted November 7 I didn't know this: Later German slags: Many German "two-seam" or "striped transparent" slags were produced on machines, particularly from the 1950s to the 1960s. These are often easier to find and are identified by their uniform seam(s) and consistent patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
