    Bottom right is a nice one

    Millefiori has been made for a LONG time so hard to say. I think it's pretty neat. Is the base glass translucent?
  3. I'llhavethat1
    Cool, any marbles come with? 1914 would be pretty early for American marbles so it would be interesting to see...

    I'd be going out on a limb here and thinking the 1st and last are Pelts, and probably a couple in between. A couple other nice finds for the riverbank too

    Curious what the part by the green arrow looks like? Do you have that angle?

    It's nice but not sure if there are specific names for Rainbo's
  7. I'llhavethat1
    Yeah, they do catch the eye. Obviously non-intentional but still neat to notice.

    The term "carnival glass" likely was carried over from other glass collectors (I'm thinking fruit bowls and punch sets).

    What makes you think it was buffed? The clear base glass (which is unusual by the way)?
  10. I'llhavethat1
    Agreed.
  11. I'llhavethat1
    Some interesting Asian influences on that cover.

    Pretty sure MCR = Multi Color Rainbos. MCS and MCR can look very similar in terms of ribbons/colors/construction and I have to believe that sometimes the seams are hard to spot once going through the machine.

    Could be the lighting but appears like it might have some blue or green in there too?

    It might be best to first ask yourself if you're in it for the investment or simply enjoying marbles. It can be both, but quality marbles from a trusted seller at a show or online is generally your best bet. A pin hole, cold roll, blow out etc. etc. heck, even a bad pattern is a subjective and can change the value significantly

    Most polished marbles (using a 3-head sphere machine) end up more spherical than they started. If it was polished by hand or in a rock tumbler it will more likely end up out of round. Of course there are some dug marbles shaped like footballs etc since they never made it past QC dept, and got scrapped by the 100's

    OK, I'll bite...what makes this a Czech circus marble compared to something, like say, a Euro two colored striped opaque?

    Since collecting marbles, my "eyeballing" of measurements has improved. So if I'm looking at the thickness of a piece of plywood etc...
  18. I'llhavethat1
    Mica marbles were handmade so have a somewhat irregular surface and a Pontil. Those all look like fried marbles to me but pictures can be deceiving
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Sure looks a lot like a Euro/Japanese transitional, but haven't seen a comparable Christensen American Agate
  20. I'llhavethat1
    I think I see it, cool! Trying to think of any Masters I have even close to that size
  21. I'llhavethat1
    It's a shame they did what they did. But that's not to take away from the efforts you've put into things My resolution- get stuff unpacked and back on the wall in the next couple months!

    There still might be a way to view your library and save the images to your desktop. Worked for me a couple weeks ago, which was really nice, since PB usually freezes up my whole system

    So Sad! Very talented with what he did, I remember the first time I checked out his website. The stained glass work, marbles, everything was impressive and in a lot of ways inspirational. I'll gladly continue looking at some of his marbles on a sunny day. Sorry to hear this.

    I look at these ones in the same way.

    Pt. 2

    I'llhavethat1 replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    It's a nice one, much less common than most of the Lutz types (swirls, onionskin, etc). Sometimes you see them on a transparent green base.
