My reply would be (and has been) "It's a marble. What additional information are you looking for?"

anyone know of any video clips of a marble machine in production? I am looking for a clip that can be run on continuous loop, without narration or the personalities that are on shows like dirty jobs and how it is made. a home made clip would fine. Scott

Damn, secret marble disposal method for inferier planets has been compromised

Anyone have an email address for Michael?

And some Broom holders

A variety of noteholders that use a marble

And waving our flags to celebrate

I am always on the watch for things that use marbles. A fun way to kill some time. You never know what you might find.

I have put together a list of the 1925 tournament participants. I have located seven of the statues and can match six to the names on the list. The seven has the name of a newspaper publisher who was a strong supporter of the marble tournament. This site had a great discussion on the subject and reading online archives of the Binghamton Press, I think I have been able to reconstruct a partial story behind the statue. For now, my curiosity was peaked about whose statue survived.

Any one know where a current home is for one of these statues? If so, please message me so I can follow up. Scott

Pure speculation but what about something like this agate? Not from Detroit like your pin but it has a little hole on the top where the pin would fit. The agate is less than 3/4th of an inch

Maybe the bidders are gambling on potential value when they receive the batch. Their may be buried treasure in there Matey!

check out marblekeeper.com. Rich Maxwell wrote a book which was intended for beginners to ID marbles by types and not company. No prices, just thoughts about marbles from a fairly new collector.

a beautiful set. thanks for sharing.

Example: I recently bought an item from 22BP for $650. with BP my cost was $793. Buyer after SP would have gotten about $500. 22BP made $286 on the transaction (not counting shipping and packing charges. The sad part is I had offered the seller $700 for it before he sent it to 22BP. He turned it down because 22BP promised him at $1200-1500 sale price. Seller made less money. I spent more money. 22BP got paid on both ends. Amrica. Got to love the land of opportunity and byers premiums.

Made a trip Saturday. Boldly went were my GPS and cell phone signal couldn't. It was a great trip
