Master Sunburst with frit?

[SequoiaBET]

I only associate JABO with frit usage, but this isn't like any JABO I've seen.

It's 43/64 (.67) inches.

It looks imperial to me because of the seams, if not imperial I’d lean Master.

Imperial sold many "frit" Marbles.

I suggest that this one is from a cross-over run between two types of marbles.

I have not seen many "Patch Type" marbles with "frit" included--this is my first as a matter of fact.

I think that this one is a "missing link" Imperial--good luck finding the links!!!

I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.

Marble--On!!

Thanks for the info on the frit, Akroorka. I have limited experience with Imperials, so it's good to know they used it too. I'll let you know it I ever find the links!

I would be interested if anyone had thoughts on the possible dates this was made. To me, it feels older like from the 1970's, as opposed to say the 2000's.

Imperials were a class of marbles that is hard to define because they were made in so many different countries.

Imperial was just a newer age "Jobber" or one that purchased from a variety of makers worldwide, renamed them "Imperial" and sold them under the "Imperial" name.

Imperial never made their own marbles.

This marble is just a special one and I can agree that it is an earlier version--70"s sounds right here.

Marble--On!!
