Hi everybody, first time here. Came across board trying to identify these scarce looking marbles I came across. Any info would help. You can see the pontil points, many are white. I am guessing that they are white with colorful outer layers. Thanks, Harry

Those are new, I forget the woman's name who makes them. They are an attempt to replicate gutta percha marbles. I'll see if I can dig up the name of the person making these.

Edit to add the name of the maker: Laura Berretti

No problem. Keep in mind that they may very well be considered collectible int heir own regard, especially as time goes by and the manufacture of these stops. They will one day be regarded as another type and not just a modern reproduction. Save them for 20 years and you'll see.
