I've been perusing that book, again, for the last few weeks - it's great.
-
If you won them, I'd love to see some better pics of that M-marble at some point. I've been growing more fond of the Colonial period stuff lately.
-
I have to recant my earlier statement, I hadn't looked in my box for several years and it does NOT have any of the gray and orange ones like these. It has a different gray and orange/brown type, which is a little odd, in it. It also has a few that look a bit more St. Mary-ish, which makes me wonder if it may have been back-filled. I'll try to post a pic later.

Hey Ron, Good to see you here. Another interesting thing, there are several of the orange and grays in the Sure Shot box I have too. Are there any in yours?
-
I have not, but I sure would like to. I'm betting it's rare.
-
I prepared and ate many a meal with one of these crazy things when I was a kid. It was actually kinda tricky. Eventually I got one of those detachable knife/fork/spoon combos, which was much more convenient.
-
Pennsboro, with very little doubt. Examples of most (maybe all) in the box have been dug there.

Has he responded?

Here are a few of my favorite Vitros.

Site feedback indicates they are at the Village Centre, Huguenot Road, Franschhoek, South Africa.

Jumpin' Jimminy, that is a monster. I've carried a more typical one in my car for about 25 years and it has come in handy on many occasions.

Thanks Bob. I should have recognized Nadine's work. Was someone at the flea market selling a variety of her marbles or was it just a random find? I surely would have grabbed it too. GP, check your PM - I tried to give you an idea of what I might consider a decent WV swirl.
-
It is a good story. Your most recent cane marbles, which I saw at Canton, are really nice. At some point, I'll have to post a pic of the one I just couldn't leave there.
-
Sweet opaques - nice find. You didn't do to badly either, Bob. Can you provide any info on ceramics like the one you're showing? I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I found all of these (actually more) in one group - nothing too earth shattering. And although I like them quite a bit, I'd trade them for a decent WV swirl in a heartbeat.
-
It doesn't sound that way to me at all.
-
I'm thinking there may be a difference in rarity.
-
I only collect old marbles, marble-related items and dust.
-
Wow . . . now that's a decent marble, for sure! . . . a forever keeper in my book. What a beauty. -
Thanks for the link, Galen. It is a nice article.
-
Nice marbles, Gregg. The CAC slags and same-canes are great.
-
Wild, It would be pretty hard to miss that in an Amsterdam canal - it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's neat . . . but it really seems out of place.
-
I noticed the pulley gearing too. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the heads are not evenly spaced around the sphere . . . sorta looks like the marble could be spit out pretty easily. But honestly, I know next to nothing about these machines.

Reproductions And The Damage They Can Do??

It looks like your getting the new photo setup dialed in - nice pics. The marbles are killers! Do you know if that last one exists as a swirl? -
