I didn't think marbles dated - they're inanimate objects. 😁 But a good place to start looking for manufacturing dates is in the "Timeline" threads in Steph's Study Hall. 🙂
-
Just a tip - to get the most accurate measurement you need to move the marble away from the ruler part of the caliper. This reading is probably about 2 mm shy of reality.
-
There is so much good stuff in the archives. A lot of it deserves a bump once in a while, so thanks, they are really sweet agates!
-
Good to know about the size trait, Roberto - thanks!
-
I hope you'll share similar pics once it greens up - I imagine it'll be pretty nice!
-
Yes, and badly damaged. It almost looks like it might have been glued back together after fracturing in half.
-
Maybe CAC but I think likely another German.
-
Roberto's got it.
-
I agree with Roberto.
-
The typical old ones have a patch and two equatorial ribbons so the poles are different colors. The new ones just have two equatorial ribbons so the poles are the same color.
-
It looks like it's been turned into a bonsai by vines.
-
I like that idea, Rick.
-
This is a super cool photo, Tommy - totally otherworldly. The mibs ain't bad either!
-
Well, if that's the case, I sure hope they poop marbles too!
-
Very nice, Rick. That looks like a super fun place to hang out and putz around. The bottle fence is cool!
-
Master, I think, but no oxblood that I see.
-
Corkscrew. A Popeye would have two colors along with whispy white and clear.
-
Wacky is the word all right!
-
What happened to my Cat is right Art, that marbles's a mess! And glued back together? Someone probably thought it was a shrunken core Onion Skin or some nonsense -looks Asian to me but I don't think I've seen another that large so I'd be thinking Vacor too.
-
I think it's a fantasy bag with foreign marbles.
-
Something about it looks off to me. I'm not really seeing CAC, but I am not sure what I am seeing. Whatever it is, a Vacor Rooster, a JABO, it seems all kinds of messed up to me.
