I really like the "agateware" I have found examples from 5/8" to carpet bowls 3-1/4" most are 2 color but have some 4 color.

2" single pontil with lobed suspended mica and mint. My best German handmade

Hansel, great group. I have a couple never knew as much about them. I think you are supposed to put the carvings in your pockets for them to be effective. If I can get organized will post pics. Bill

Plan to get there Wednesday also see you then.

Buckeye show in Canton is on Sept. 1, with the usual room trade for a few days before. Hope to see everyone there. Bill

Successful inadvertent German creativity

This is a nice friendly show. Will be plenty of good marbles and plenty of collectors who will love to answer questions and show off their marbles. I will get there Friday and bring some for sale and some of my keepers. hope you make it.

I remember having a discussion with Brian Graham about his research on MFC and he said never found any red glass at MFC. This one just feels foreign to me.

One of first experiences as a newby 25 or so yrs ago. Why do you want to know how much I want for that marble but you can't (won't) tell me what it is? :-) Turns out was a shooter 4 color christensen flame. Dumb luck I bought the group because it had a beat up peppermint in it.

I'm coming in tonight (wed)

Optional:-) I tried it amazing thing was 30-40% of the listings were for Jabo. So this means the seller has to intentionally flood the pre 1970 with new marbles, no accidental listing in wrong category here. if I were looking for Jabo why would I look in pre 1970. Not changing the subject but Ebay has made searching for vintage,antique collectable marble a joke and it used to be easier to ignore the flooding of the jabos when you had hopes of finding marbles also listed that were at least appropriate to the category. No beefs with jabo collectors just the sellers,and EBAY.

WANTED, Randy, is that a west coast name for those? I always just called them white ribbon lutz. :-)

I plan to arrive Wednesday if mother nature agrees. Any special requests before I pack.

I have a nice 15/16, it is the second one I have had that size.

The onionskin with suspended mica was right in the estimate if you add 22% buyers premium, 6% sales tax= $8350+- add shipping. BTW it was pretty nice in hand too. Several of the really special handmades had sold a Morphy's in the past. At the top of the market if you take "the high bidder" and make him a seller it can really change the competitve level, and maybe that showed at this auction. Bill
