This one is a bit difficult for me to describe. At first glance it appears to be an old German handmade two-pontailed MELON BALL, but closer examination shows there to be a sort of CYAN base glass with POWDER BLUE lines running from pole to pole, which would make it a SWIRL?--maybe. Click on the first picture to see a much enlarged picture to see what I mean. Melon Ball or SWIRL, it is a rare marble, in my opinion. First one I've seen quite like it.
CONDITION: MINT(-) 9.3 The surface is wet and shiny with no evidence of play or wear, but there are some narrow and shallow melted-edged streaks with some sort of debris in the bottom that is clearly as-made, and quite evident in the pictures.
