So true, so many factors to consider, and it all depends of what we have available on hand.

You did an amazing job on it, looks 👌
-
Yes, could be a marble king flame, thanks.
-
It just amazes me how old torn up marble box's can be worth more than the marbles within, I guess its due to owners throwing the box's away upon purchase which makes them so rare.
-
Oh cool, thanks mate!

G'day folks! Here is a stunning PRBF, its 1 of 2 that I have, this one has bubbles and debris, some people prefer flawless examples, but to me these have character, I just love these and I will say these are one if not my favorite marbles ever made, I feel the same for Peltier bananas, this one measures 25mm, I will post my other PRBF another day. Cheers.

G'day folks! I should have placed this one in the ID section. Here is the last of the double ingots I have, not sure what make this is, has a weird shape, not perfectly round, not even close, makes me wonder if it was actually rolled by Akro, it measures just shy of 20mm to 22mm. Ps. I'm not sure, but would anyone know if this an African? Cheers.
-
G'day folks As promised, here is another double ingot, this one is 19.5mm and looks like a lovely example of another Akro Agate. Cheers.
-
G'day folks! Just curious, how could I differentiate a spiral from a corkscrew, would it be a spiral would have a translucent base, where a corkscrew would have opaque? Cheers.

G'day everyone! After a very long spell I finally dusted off my marbles from storage, so I thought I would start of with this lovely "Double Ingot" Akro Agate 22mm, I have 3 double ingots and this shooter the largest I have, more to come soon. Cheers.

Wow, I bet your glad that you took some nice photos to remind you of these stunning marbles, $60 bags like these are rare indeed. -
Problem solved, please disregard this post. Flicker

G'day Howard and Howie, Welcome from the only aussie marble collector around here Tome.

Here are some pics of my only Triple-Ingot marble i have. Tome.

Did somebody mention Double Ingots? Catseye Double Ingot, one of my favourate and rarer ingots.

Oh maybe I was alittle harsh towards those cute little marble look alikes the 'Quandongs', I guess they woulda been the closest thing to marbles the kids had in the outback, but I reckon clay's and stone marbles woulda been heaps better then seed marbles though, gee ill have to revisit Janes site again to check out is she's another aussie marble collector, very interesting topic I thought. Tome.
-
Well if you ever lost your quandong marbles, I bet they would pop up in the form of a new quandong tree, you could start your own quandong marble production network, hey you could make shooters from the avocardo seeds! or peewee's from the cherry seeds! a new line of marble production, I only just accepted clay marbles and benningtons as marbles. :-/
-
G'day Steph, lol, What a question!! The seeds of the Quandong tree are round, pale and knobbly, early settlers used these for making necklace beads, stud buttons and Chinese checker marbles, also for medicinal purposes. Today, they are only rarely used for these purposes, by locals and art and craft shops. So I would say no to that Steph, they would be no way classified as marbles here. Tome.

A lot of money!
