No brainer for me, on the first one.... I can see where the second might be questionable... I think I'd lean towards Leroy, though....

Nice work, Leroy!! :P

I had Leroy polish a few marbles for me about 2 to 3 years ago. I had never seen a polished marble. But knew that these two bricks were pretty messed up. Boy I was shocked when they came back. I couldn't quit looking a them. They are beautiful!

Wow, IMO you have brought them back to perfection! AWESOME! I would like to learn how to do this, even by hand is ok as both of my hands work, just not at the shoulder. And being disabled now after working my entire life, I am finding I have a lot of spare time on my hands.

Fred, there are several folks reconditioning marbles now a-days. This is Leroy-The marble mender and if I had their names and email address I'd sure email them to you (had them but lost them when computer went the way of the wind), but frist I'd have to secure their permission. If you are interested in my Marble Reconditioning Information and Price sheets, just email me at: marblemender@neb.rr.com and I'll be happy to send them to you. Later----Leroy----P.S. Be sure and mention that you are the one that put up the inquiry on the Marble Connection board.
