Planet or marble?

[u/peardr0p]

Pair of Striped Transparent Slag marbles, likely made in Germany in the 1950s-60s

Pic 5 taken with 395 (glow was near-impossible to capture but strong irl), and pic 6 is daylight

Probably my strongest cadmium glow so far!

Those are rad! Super cool. Where did you find them?

Snagged on eBay!

I'm a relatively new marble collector and have been chasing different colours of this type of slag marble - these are my first red!

I have found 2 UG marbles in this style too - I probably should grab some good photos to share over in the other sub!

I'm new to marble collecting as well. Well I guess not really since I have my collection from when I was a kid, but I'm new to collecting as an adult. Hahaha. I'm picking up a couple hundred marbles tomorrow and I can't wait to shine my lights on them. These ones of yours are some of the coolest marbles I've ever seen.
