Bullet Mold Marbles?

[MARBLEMISER]

I have a question. I know there are marbles that are called (bullet mold).

I think some were used in clawed ball feet, for furniture.

Also there are slag's I think.

When were these made from, to?

Are they single or double pontil? Colors? Size?

Also as to rarity & price? Are they vhtf or just htf ?

Or coming out of the wood work?

I would appreciate any info. Any photos???

Thank you

Always called those Czech marbles(even though many were made in Germany). Bulletmolds to an oldtimer like myself are usually clear very rough with a ridge around the circumference and a ground flat spot where the pour mark was ground off. They are found in the Codd bottles and used in the claw feet. mid toLate 1800s into the 30s may be a good guess. They usually sell for very little in under 1 inch sizes. Peace,Galen

I agree with Galen.

It is not unusual to find this type of marbles in Codd bottles too.

A Bullet Mold mib. Single pontil with a single seam, press line, or whatever going completely around the marble. Hope this helps.

thanks.

Thanks for the imput. But what about bullet mold slags? What's the scoop on them? Would the price range be more? Say in the 7/8 in range?

Any PICS?/

I know that I've read about them somewhere.

Thanks again

I do not know why anyone would call those bullet molds. Bullet molds are two piece that have a large hole for pouring in the lead(glass). While these Czech types may be two half molds it is obvious the glass has not been poured into the mold thriugh a large opening like on a bullet mold. Peace,Galen
