Greatmacscott Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I use rubber O rings - They come in all sizes, available at local hardware stores in bulk, and they are cheap. And you hardly notice they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Absolutely. The O-rings are the only way to go if you want the maximum minimalist look. And if you're a nervous sort like me, their soft 'shock-absorber' feel is reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I use plastic stands, glass stands, candlesticks. special wooden ones made by marble artists, depression glass bowls with flower frogs in them, antique bar ware that measures out whiskey, communion glasses, etc. I have a case with a glass door on the front that was made for golf balls. There are golf tees made into the case. They hold my one inch Robert L. Hamon marbles perfectly. The marble sits on the tee. The case has a door that guarantees safety of the marbles and it hangs on the wall. The antique barware stands up very tall and it holds my largest marbles, 3 inch up above the rest so that they can be seen above the smaller marbles. Wish I could find more of them.

kbobam Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thought you'd be a fan of the nice soft O-rings, after reading about your practice of handing people marbles one at a time to avoid the 'clink'. The slight modification of the golf ball case's intended use sounds brilliant. I'll bet it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Depression Glass bowl for arranging flowers, has a flower frog in the center and cut outs in the glass hold other marbles by the same artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I did not take the bowl out of my curio cabinet. I would have had to do too much work - take all the marbles off, lift out the bowl, put the marbles back on to photograph, take them off, put the bowl back, put all the marbles back on again. I'm lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
