mtnhop Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Hi all. I'll regularly scan through a huge pile of discards from sorting. I guess from looking at such big piles, some good ones always get pulled, so I'll go over those again just in case. Found this one last night and saw it had a pontil. From what I see online, this is a line pontil, corresponding with early machine made Europeans. Although, the swirl is very concentric and even, like has been spun by hand. Has a little wear, but is a gorgeous marble in light. A little over 5/8" dia. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parmcat Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 The last picture looks like it could be a 9. Could it be an MFC? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I don't think this type has ever been solidly attributed to a maker or even country of origin. Likely Asian I think but that's me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
