Sehr schön bin zufrieden, war bisschen teuer aber okay

When I was a kid, clear red marbles were quite rare. And now I am a grownup, with the Internet and a job, and can afford such childish treasures. And these were exactly what I was looking for.

I needed marbles that could fit inside a 16mm channel, I was hoping I'd get lucky with these. I did not. They are not perfectly round, somewhat squished and lumpy. Those lumps just out to 16.25mm or 16.5mm (eyeballed, not measured) just enough that out of about 100 I tried, 4 rolled down the 16 mm channel, and the rest were a hair too large to enter the channels, and a few could enter but then jammed on one of their lumps. I wonder if I can put them in a rock polisher to make them slightly smaller and rounder...? But they are a very nice red. They look like their picture. In lower lighting and/or at an angle they look almost a ruby red. In bright back lighting I think I see a hint of orange, I believe on a Corvette this would be called a "torch red."

Had a very hard time finding 5/8" red marbles for a project. These are not as deep a red as I expected or hoped, but they ARE red. I didn't realize/notice they are made in China (though sold by a small US business and shipped by Amazon). There was a confusing delay in availability, but they ended up shipping sooner than originally expected. Absolutely cannot beat the price for five pounds. And I have enough to last a LONG time.

Christmas the marbles are for my fireplace sconce where I have clear jars and change the marbles. These are pretty I just wish they were brighter but they work
