Antique German or something more modern?

It was part of a larger group of Germans, but it looks different than any others I have seen. But I have only seen a few hundred of them , so maybe this one isn't that unique. The pontils suggest German to me as well.

It's 3/4 inch. And is it considered a cloud?

Something strange, here..

Hmmm, the pontils are rough and pitted and the rest of the marble is mirror smooth, no makers marks or anything, something's funky !!  Someone has messed with this marble IMO. I believe it has been polished and an attempt at making it appear to have pontils has been made.

Yeah, even the colors don't add up for me....hmm

To me, he is a Bulgarian...

Thanks folks! It seem off to me too. I agree the colors aren't typical German and also the way they sit on the base glass seemed atypical too. Adding the pontils- interesting! Never heard of that!

When you say "Bulgarian", Roberto- what do you mean? If I remember correctly, I have read about someone making marbles a while back and claiming they were vintage Bulgarian from the 60's or something like that. Are you referring to that?  If so, any more details on the story would be welcome. 

It came as part of a much larger purchase, so it only cost me a few bucks. And it came with no claims about what it was or anything.
