  1. Welcome! Cool pattern on that marble. It might be old(er), but might not be from the same era when the cane cut marbles were made in Germany (which is probably what most people on this site would consider in the 'old' category)
  2. Didn't something similar come up a while back? Can't recall what the consensus was back then. Seems like it was purposefully built for something... any markings on the zipper?
  3. 7/8ths on this one (blurry pic), found two like this and one @ 1" that I have with my Alleys Closer to 11/16 on this one, coloring looks a bit closer Hope it helps
  4. Alley would be my first guess, I think I've got a couple like it around somewhere (that I've been grouping with my Alleys)
  5. Once I sprained my wrist and had to use my left more. Although I haven't driven a right hand car, and if it's a manual right hand drive (with the shifter on the left) you'd best get off the road. Wasn't there a guy that could write with both hands in two different languages at the same time?
  6. 2nd pic in post 3 made me scratch my head, but either way it's not a color combo/size I've come across before. Did Marble King make any like this?
  7. Nice pattern in pic #3. between that and the color combo it's a good question. So, looks like we have -1 vote for non-Euro (maybe) -2 votes for Euro -2 votes for German
  8. Interesting marble, trying to think if I've seen another banded transparent with a shrunken core. Not to say there couldn't be one just trying to wrack my memory
  9. Can't vouch for all of them but here are a couple. Middle bottom could be Master. Sorry about the reflections. Nothing wrong with Orange in my books
  10. Haven't seen the "spaghetti" surface from the original post (pic 3) in a non-machine rounded marble before, so yes the second rough spot is probably just a fluke. Good for bringing it up though, nice topic for discussion. Unusual size/color as well
  11. Not the pic I was looking for but reminded me enough of #50, so thar she be
  12. one of my favorite not-quite-round shooters. Apparently got stuck and cooled on the rollers?
  13. In the original post the second and fourth pic look to be same angle but with the glare is hard to tell The last pics I agree show a Japanese-style cutoff, but appear to be on a different pole than what's shown in the original post?? Are there two cutoffs (or rough spots) on opposite poles of this marble?
  14. I'd say the second group of pics makes things a bit more interesting.
  15. although it doesn't really look like a Peltier on the right that's the first thought I had
  16. What's the size? Most angles look like "Japanese" construction but expected more of the spidery pontil traits if this were the case. The only thing that would potentially make me think otherwise is the size or actual color. Pictures look yellow but described as green which could be a trick of the light
  17. With the way Pelt patterns got wonky, that could look to some as the same marble from two views
  18. Both Cilantro and Spinach are good with Citrus (for me anyways). Something to do with releasing iron in raw spinach, and a homemade salsa/Pico de gallo with squeeze of lime. Cooked spinach in a homemade Lasagna or spaghetti sauce I like too.
  19. Just curious if there was anything specific to make you think 'most likely contemporary' and not vintage German marbles? My money is on vintage German marbles but thought I'd ask
  20. Congrats on the brick. Without a bit of damage they probably wouldn't have garnered the name to begin with, just adds character
  21. yes, it shows a handgathered pattern if that's what you mean
  22. I'll see If I can get some outside pics in the next couple days. Winnie, are all the one's pictured around shooter size?
  23. Some could be Akro but it was a group pic
  24. Auction value isn't always representative of fair market value. All it takes is two bidders, at least one with deep pockets (the buyer) and things can go through the roof. Another variable is subjective value - $600 can be a drop in the bucket for some people who like it whether it's 'real' or not
