Description: German Antique Onionskin marbles are said to be made from 1850 to 1920, if the marble shows a pontil, then it is pre 1870. This marble does have a pontil. Given that these items were made to strike other hard glass marbles, it is common to see numerous chips or "flea bites" in the glass. This marble has a perfectly smooth surface. Being both very old and free from "flea bites" is exceedingly rare. There are some manufacturer imperfections/roughness near the pontil mark area. See photos for details. This is a large specimen. It measures exactly 2 3/16” in diameter. An onionskin marble is a handmade marble with strands of glass drawn out from the center, forming a lined pattern connecting the top and bottom of the entire body, like the paper skin on an onion.
