Going back a while I learned from this site of some called gutta percha and wondered if these ones just listed on ebay could be this type? 290468046504

| There was a type of "bouncy-ball" that looked like that. I emailed the vendor to ask if they could be rubber, and if they bounce. I report back what they say. ... Roger |

Isn't gutta percha a type of rubber? early golf balls were made of this? I have found bouncy balls with marbles but none quite like these, hope the seller doesn't bounce them too much if they do turn out to be something special!

| The vendor said that they have no "give" at all, like rubber would have - so maybe?? ... Roger |

| If it helps any gutta-percha is more of a tough plastic material. It is similar to rubber but more resiny in texture. Low bounce. I collect Super Balls/High Bounce Balls and don't have a gutta-percha one! David |

Still hold the gut feeling those ones are something special. But not so sure about these ones, could be wrong? Item 270633485007 and the other 2 they are selling.

| I think they're special too. Oh, they're definitely not Fimo; I know Fimo. That other auction you site 270633485007 it figures it's British with the '007.' Now that marble is strange and where did they ever come up with the word(?) Elastolin! Can't figure that one out at all. David |
