FINAL REDUCED PRICE!!!

LAST CHANCE TO GRAB THIS GROUP BEFORE IT GETS TAKEN OFFLINE May 19, 2024!!!

33 ANTIQUE HANDMADE GERMAN LUTZ MARBLES
and MORE
with
SOLITAIRE BOARD
made of homegrown American hardwood!

The sizes range from 2.388” to .546”!

The condition ranges from near mint to absolute mint. There are only two with some level of polishing in this grouping. The board is a massive 15.75" across and makes the marbles look smaller than they actually are. The beast in the middle is an unbelievable 2.388"! So, large marbles will look small next to it. Also, keep in mind we aren't dealing with a little glass marble anymore. This stuff adds up in weight so to be fair to the seller the shipping cost will have to reflect the shipping prices to ship this weight.

Following is the breakdown of each marble. I have photographed them from above and copied that same photograph with numbers to help identify which marble is being detailed. Ask me any questions you may have. The board is a part of this listing.

1. Yellow Caged Solid Core Swirl – 2.388”
Red, white, blue and aqua bands make up the solid core of this massive boulder. These usually exhibit a lot of play wear but this one is extremely clean. It only shows two difficult to see small fisheyes and two smaller chips that do not take away from this beast. A yellow, evenly crafted, cage houses the solid core within a little bit of a champagne bubbles base glass. North pontil is a tad melted (normal) and the south pontil is faceted. Surface is wet. Rare and solid piece!

2.  Larger Emerald Green Base Glass Type 2 Banded Core Lutz - .790”
Deep emerald green base glass on this banded core type 2 lutz. Untouched pontils. Larger size for this type. Shows one small fisheye and one very small chip. Surface is wet.

3. Tri-Stage Yellow and White Latticino Core with a Red, White, Blue and Light Blue Cage – 1.240”
This one and it’s twin (#7) came across the ocean together from the UK. Very clean marble. Where do I start on this guy? The lattice core alternates white and yellow bands. One white band was left out. The center of the marble has a strong ghost core. Very easy to see and very nice. I’ve seen ghost cores before but this one is thick and very visible. The marble has some subtle scratches here and there but nothing of note. There is a fisheye I just found that was so hard to find I thought it was a part of how it was made. Very hard to see and very small. A cold roll. Pontils are untouched. I would still classify this marble as mint. Surface is wet. A real beauty!

4. Larger Orange-Red Type 2 Banded Core Lutz - .880”
Red-orange leans more orange, while orange-red (this one) leans more red. There is a tad of pocket wear with one or two very tiny chips and one chip. None of this detracts from the marble. It still ranks near mint. Larger size as well. Very thick lutz bands.

5. Large Clear Based Glass Banded Deep Blue Lutz - 1.143”
This larger lutz deep blue bands with thick lutz bands. One of the bands has an annealing crack that runs along the band. Hard to see. Some chipping but nothing too bad. One fisheye. One pontil untouched. The other is melted. Near mint minus.

6. Larger Banded Lutz on Blue Base Glass - .961”
Beautiful larger blue base glass banded lutz with minor chipping. White bands. Surface is wet. A little champagning going on within the marble. Both pontils present.

7. Banded White Latticino Swirl – 1.260”
A very fine tightly wound white latticino core with colorful bands flowing around the outer perimeter. Colors on the bands are red, white, yellow, light green and deep purple that looks black. Rare color combination. Half of an extremely impossible to find fisheye. Some super tiny chips that could be from manufacturing. A subtle cold roll. Surface is wet. Very mint!

8. Larger Type 2 Banded Cranberry Jelly Core Lutz  - .809”
Two extremely tiny nicks and one chip. Surface is wet. Rare jelly core. Thick lutz bands. Pontils untouched.

9. Large Clear Based Glass Banded Deep Blue Lutz – 1.193”
Surface is wet but it’s because the marble was melted. Some subtle original surface remains and both pontils remain. Some of the residual damages remain as well. All-in-all a very nice example of a very large lutz banded marble.
