Size is around 1". White base with blue. It had a striped Pelt look to me at the cut mark. Context wise - it was part of an original untouched group that was all CA's - a few Akro's, fewer Pelts, and some German handmade glass. See this post: Christensen Agates from the group
A new friend of mine brought in his grandpa's marbles for me to look at. You hear this so often....usually it is a group of cats with all MK's and some Vitros. This time the group was all CA's with some Akro's, Pelts, and a few German handmade glass.
I was finally able to make some marbles again recently. I think these turned out pretty nice. They all measure right around 1". All were hand gathered and formed on the Miller marble machine.
Decided to offer a small group of 5 graduated in size. 13/16", 3/4", 11/16", 21/32", and 5/8".
Brian's ebay auction..
I had to relist this item because there was an error with my paypal address for some reason......
I spent two days this week cleaning the rollers on the Miller machine. This made a big difference on the surface finish! So many ideas...not enough time!
I put one on ebay...will add some more later.

It does say "patent applied for". I imagine it just fell into the crack when someone was working on the machine. I wish I had a parts washer - there is so much grease and oil with the glass bits - solvent is the only way to see what is in my bowl of goop. I also found a small chain link. Probably part of a glass feeder device.
The marble machine metal castings have a slot and void built into them. I was cleaning out the slot and this popped out...a mens buckle along with a bunch of glass pieces. What Pelts would these be? Anyone recognize the buckle, age, etc?
