This listing is for an antique wood solitaire board and 32 glass marbles.
22 are German swirls, and 10 have been replaced over the years with other antique (German and American) marbles.
All have pontils except the amber, red, and green slags, and the hand gathered dark amber slag.
The opaque blue (on the right) has a crease pontil.
Three are bullet-molds.
Conditions vary, but most marbles are in pretty good shape.
The board is extremely old, and slightly ovaled from age (like most antique turned wood items).
It is roughly 11\" in diameter (10 3/4\" x 11 1/8\").
The board has a rough-sawn bottom, filled knot hole, and a split (not yet repaired).
An interesting note is that all of the drill marks in the holes line up in the same direction.
Its rare to find a true antique set in this condition that is this complete (especially with ageappropriate substitutes).
Please ignore distortion at corners of photos.
Please view all photos carefully - as they are my main description.
