Resembling onionskins, except being twisted or cut off at one end,
individually made marbles are often referred to as End of Day or Ohio
Glass Marbles. A different manufacturing process was used whereby a
small amount of glass on a pontil was rolled over a base color or colors
(usually white or yellow), then rolled again over small pieces of
colored glass which adhered to the hot surface. An outer layer of
clear glasswas added, then the pontil was then pulled or cut off, and
its point of attachment ground down slightly.
