I bought a small group of these from an eBay site that had much smaller and not quite so clear pictures, so I couldn't really tell much about them except I could see the BULLET MOLD seam that ran completely around the marble. Turns out the marbles came from sweden rather than the expected Czechoslovakia where I have found most of the bullet molds I have had. I cannot feel the seam and the colors are much brighter than any I have seen before and I have the feeling they are probably contemporary. They are however, like this one, very bright and cheerful and in excellent condition.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 The surface has the wet shiny look of a brand new marble, which I suspect that it is. The fourth picture show what may be a bit of a slight cold roll that is so faint, I missed it completely until I cropped these pictures. You may click here to view the grading system I use. Size 15.82mm or 0.623" at the equator. | |||||
