I bought that solid green aventurine marble at one of the first marble shows I went to in Las vegas.There were several to choose from ,a very nice older man told me to be sure to get one that had a pattern/swirl.Thats what I did ,it's hard to show the swirling in a picture (I need a better camera) does'nt look sprayed on.Can you tell me who made the clear base /green aventurine marbles?I didn't know akro made aventurine marbles ,I learn some thing every day.Thanks Bo

Great pictures everyone .There are a pair of aventurine marbles in this pic.Can anyone tell me who made the solid aventurine marble.Graet thread.Bo :cool sign:

BYOB :Happy_143: Here's a better picture of the header.Bo

Well I got of my duff yesterday and did some yardsaling,found this hopp ching game.Everything there but the marbles,I,m guessing it dates back to early fifties? Also picked up a pretty little ravenswood liberty,I'm looking forward to finding a lot of good stuff this summer.Bo

Hello Zen, I have this marble that looks very similar.Size of this one is 21/32" also.I think of it as a burnt red zebra.Bo

I went to the Peltier home page last night and they didn't have a greycoat ,I was very disappointed.Here is one to look at

Hi Tim,those pictures are great!! ,I can see right in the marble.The only thing I can think of that might improve on the selling angle would be a template.Instead of a square picture you would have a round picture and only the marble is seen,no background.The most sucsessful sellers on ebay IMHO use a template .Programs that have a template like that are out of my price range,my price range is really cheap.Hey does anyone know where we can download a circular template,in my price range ,free? Seriously Tim those are great pictures,I hope to see more soon.Thanks Bo

Thanks for posting those ,they are reeeeally beautiful!!! .Bo TGIF :Happy_143:

Roger thanks for posting the marble pictures and keeping us informed .I have never seen a China with gold paint on it before ,very nice !Thanks Bo

Here is a marble lamp Judy and I made together.I did the sheetmetal work and she did the plasma cutting.The marbles are cats-eyes and the one green shooter.This would probably be a mood light more than a marble display.I'm planning to make more based on this design,hope you like.Have a great day,Bo :Happy_457:

Well it looks like my snottie was just a runny nose,I did find one that could be snottie,it has what looks like some hair in it.It's probably too pretty to be snottie.Thanks for the lesson on snotties,I'll be looking at marbles in a new way now.Bo

Didn't want to post these again but have been told this is snotty,Bo

OK,let me try one more time I think I've got the idea.Bo

Are these snottie?They are Peltier bananas ( Black Cats) very rare .Recently I went thru all my stuff and only found one Black cat.I bought these all together as a lot on EBAY.Do the bubbles make them snottie? :thewave: :thewave: :thewave: :thewave: :thewave: Thanks have a great day! Bo

Hi Steph I apreciate your lively topics,heres a booger close enough? I beleive this is actually a piece of contaminent picked up in the marble making process.Thanks Bo
