A marble's worth is primarily determined by type, size, condition and eye-appeal, coupled with the law of supply and demand. Ugly, but rare marbles may be valued as much as those of very fine quality. However, this is the exception, rather than the rule, and normally "condition is king" when it comes to marbles. Any surface damage (characterized by missing glass, such as chips or pits) typically cuts book value by 50% or more. </p><p>Due to the large market, there are many related side businesses that have sprung up such as numerous books and guides, web sites dedicated to live auctions of marbles only, and collector conventions. Additionally, many glass artisans produce <a href="/wiki/Art_marble" title="Art marble">art marbles</a> for the collectors' market only, with some selling for thousands of dollars.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Manufacturing">Manufacturing</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Marble_(toy)&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Manufacturing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Marble_Machine,_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg/170px-Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="283" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg/255px-Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg/340px-Marble_Machine%2C_at_House_of_Marbles_-_geograph.org.uk_-_506883.jpg 2x" data-file-width="384" data-file-height="640" /></a><figcaption>A very large American-made marble-making machine at <a href="/wiki/Bovey_Tracey" title="Bovey Tracey">Bovey Tracey</a>, Devon, England</figcaption></figure> <p>Marbles are made using many techniques. They can be categorized into two general types: <a href="/wiki/Lapidary" title="Lapidary">hand-made</a> and machine-made. </p><p>Marbles were originally made by hand. Stone or <a href="/wiki/Ivory" title="Ivory">ivory</a> marbles can be fashioned by grinding. Clay, pottery, ceramic, or <a href="/wiki/Porcelain" title="Porcelain">porcelain</a> marbles can be made by rolling the material into a ball, and then letting dry, or firing, and then can be left natural, painted, or <a href="/wiki/Ceramic_glaze" title="Ceramic glaze">glazed</a>. Clay marbles, also known as <i>crock marbles</i> or <i>commies</i> (<i>common</i>), are made of slightly porous clay, traditionally from local clay or leftover earthenware ("crockery"), rolled into balls, then glazed and fired at low heat, creating an opaque imperfect sphere that is frequently sold as an "old timey" marble. Glass marbles can be fashioned through the production of glass rods which are stacked together to form the desired pattern, cutting the rod into marble-sized pieces using marble scissors, and rounding the still-malleable glass.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>One mechanical technique is dropping globules of molten glass into a groove made by two interlocking parallel screws. As the screws rotate, the marble travels along them, gradually being shaped into a sphere as it cools. Color is added to the main batch glass and to additional glass streams that are combined with the main stream in a variety of ways. For example, in the "cat's-eye" style, colored glass veins are injected into a transparent main stream. Applying more expensive colored glass to the surface of cheaper transparent or white glass is also a common technique. </p><p>Currently, the world's largest manufacturer of playing marbles is Vacor de Mexico. Founded in 1934, the company now makes 90 percent of the world's marbles.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Over 12 million are produced daily. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="U.S._machine_made_manufacturers">U.S. machine made manufacturers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Marble_(toy)&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: U.S. machine made manufacturers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>M.F.
