Beautiful marble

Looking forward to seeing who was the winner, and if they were pleased with this Marble

I will be there friday thru Sunday

closeups?

Which ones would you like to see?

were they all one lot or separate is that a blue base hand made top row . Mike

There were 5 lots; 2 lots of 5 sulphides each, 1 lot consisted of 3 large marbles -onion skin with mica, yellow Lat., and largest Josephs Coat; fourth lot consisted of 32 swirls including the 4 chinas; the last lot only had the 7/8" 2 segment cloud marble with casing glass - looks like a ribbon on half the marble.

the row of sulphides look to good to be true

They are real and a nice addition to my collection till I decide to sell off some duplicates.

Looks like some interesting handmades, congrats. 2nd up from the bottom left corner looks really neat

That is a pretty cool marble, has two pontils, shrunkin core, almost looks to be an ribbon cloud, 2 panels

Is that a baby in a crib?

I believe it is Moses in a basket

how many are polished

None, all are fresh out of an old estate, there was no cherry picking

I was unable to load the, picture, I will have to edit it later - sorry

Thank you all for the advice!!! I 'd like to buy a multi thousand dollar camera but just don't have the funds being a single dad with 2 kids still needing to go through college...I'm sure this is the case for many of you, i would like to take some close up pictures with a camera that will do the job and not cost more than $500.

How did you do the background?

Looking to purchase a camera to take pictures of individual marbles. I want to be able to use the pictures to help sell some of my collection.. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there I like button I can click?

Swwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeet, That is a very nice collection

Looks like possible transitional....with some oxblood

A marble show is a great place to learn about marbles (qnd buy some too), and there are people there with a wealth of knowledge who will be willing to help you.

Anyone receive the catalog yet?

i have an old Sony. and need to upgrade

any help would be appreciated...thank you - David

I am looking to purchase a good camera to take pictures of marbles. Anyone purchase something recently that they like, has good battery life, and takes great pictures.

Very nice group!!!!! You may have paid too much, but you will always have something great to show for it. Great find, that would have been a tough group to LET GO AT AUCTION.

Very Nice, Congratulations!!!! I was once told that you will never regret buying quality, long after the price is forgotten you still have a wonderful group.
