sissydear Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Jess, no green in that marble, just blue. I guess it's just the way the light affects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 cloudy base, green and white cork - too bad i can't focus in on it just loose corks, in the center is an orange spiral in an orang transparent glass that we talked about in another thread. Most of these are dug patches.The bottom marble is on a cloudy, opalescent base with corks of blue, orange, and yellow purple corks 2nd row, purple and yellow corks, very hard to find 4th row, purple and green corks also difficult to find spirals, top two rows are blue and white spirals Would you believe akro patches? I wouldn't, except that I bought two of them from Bud Cloven who got them from Roger Hardy. I got the third one last week in a batch of alley, akro, peltier, and champion.

sissydear Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Bill those with the grey-beige base #3,4,and 5 are nice. I haven't seen those before. Edna Paula, they do look like JABO. Really funny isn't it? Dug at Akro, deep down, long before JABO. Amazing what came out of the ground there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really funny isn't it? Dug at Akro, deep down, long before JABO. Amazing what came out of the ground there. gotta keep in mind, when akro started up, many of the marble makers from up north migrated to akro when they started business with their awesome talents. and many ... many .. early akro's show patterns that remind you of m.f. or chrissy .... bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Ken Schneidereit Kevin O'Grady - 3 inches plus Back of the same marble Kevin makes his own colored boro glass and a lot of it has aventurine in it. Also Kevin O'Grady. I believe this is the only one like it. Kevin told me I had bragging rights as Brian Bowden was there first and he missed this one. Rich Hollingshead - this marble is hollow Kris Parke More Kris Parke Another Kris Parke Marble by Stan Skipper back of Stan's marble Collaboration marble by Filip Vogelpohl and John Rasmussen. Filip made the marble. There is a vortex inside that can be viewd through the clear places on the surface. Rasmussen did the beautiful elaboration on the top of the marble. I'm told Rasmussen is known as the father of boro glass. Closeup of Rasmussen's decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
