The marble is made of translucent dark blue glass. There are some very small impurity bubbles in the glass. It has White, green, yellow, light blue, red, burnt orange as well as a few small lutz looking dots of glass on the surface. It has one little pin prick you can barely see unless you look with a magnifying glass. Email me at tom@floodeen.com and I will be happy to email you back a picture. _________________ Tom Floodeen - Frederick, Colorado Last edited by tfloodeen on Wed May 05, 2010 7:26 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top roany poany Joined: 07 Aug 2007 Posts: 872 Location: where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

I got is in an auction lot at an estate sale 15 years ago. The box also included a superman and several other great marbles. I did not pay much attention to this one until recently. I guess I need to see a few real ones to see what the differences are. thanks _________________ Tom Floodeen - Frederick, Colorado Back to top brian graham Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 91 Location: Akron, Ohio.

There were plenty of people making torch marbles in 1995. _________________ www.akronmarbles.com www.americantoymarbles.com www.canalfultonglassworks.com Back to top tfloodeen Joined: 01 May 2010 Posts: 4 Location: Frederick, Colorado Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 4:20 pm    Post subject: Thanks. I am mostly into handmade so I am a novice on the machine made marbles. It is a cool marble, but I will add it to the common tray. _________________ Tom Floodeen - Frederick, Colorado Back to top Alan Joined: 27 Dec 2007 Posts: 114 Location: Maryland Posted: Mon May 10, 2010 8:33 pm    Post subject: Definitely a modern reproduction.
