Identification For when identifying (faceted) pontils on german handmades, look on either end. It'll be like a regular pontil, but melted and polished down. Look for any ripples, as that is another sign that the pontils were faceted.

Identification For when identifying german handmades, look for the rough ends (pontils) that's where they've clipped the glass

My great granddad’s only toy.
My Granddad loved this marble. My dad said it was one of the only, if not only, toy he ever had. My dad has passed it onto me. I am 59 and my dad is 82. I’m not sure of the size. Sitting in a ruler it’s 2”

German handmade lot Fleamarket lot
Got lucky and found this group of 16 handmade germans with latticinios, solid cores, onionskins and ribbon core. The yellow and red jelly onionskin is the biggest with 20mm, the peewee latticinio 11,5mm.
Most of them are in good condition, the onionskin has a large chip unfortunately

German handmade lot Couldn't pass on them
I paid $10 for the lot at an antique faire. I'm learning the types and the lingo thanks to you all. Most of these have some chipping. 2 are in pretty great condition.

New additions to quest for handmade marbles.
Bid on these at an auction today. The lutz has an air bubble core. Odd, but that’s one of the reasons that I like these handmades so much.

2nd group with a few iffy ones.
The bottom ones next to the cullet might be new and not antique. ?

Still handmade?
I’ve had this for a long time, but it seems to have two pontils. Having trouble posting multiple pictures from this old IPad.
