Well I enjoyed reading all of you marble postings. When I was about 14 to 16, I had jugs of marbles that I won around our temporary home in Rochester. I still have some. I have a little wooden box of stone marbles, that are really old, they were my Grandfathers, when he was a boy. I have been to two marble factories when I was traveling the world visiting glass houses. I have also been to the Corning Drop Tower in Corning NY. One of the factories was was in Illinois - up near Streator IL. Another was in France. Interesting thread, I will have to check out that "MARBLE CONNECTION". Thanks, RED Matthews

That's an industrial type marble. No pontil. Glass temp was too cool when marble was made causing the creases. Probably foreign.
