    That's about as good a selection as any, must have been fun. Lid looks a bit undersized though (I know, all about perspective, right )
  2. I'llhavethat1
    Wow, sounds like fun

    Is there blue in the marble as well or is that just a trick of the light. Seems to have similar colors to a banded translucent I've seen (which was cane cut). Hard to tell if yours shows more of a hand-gathered pattern Good find though, congrats
  4. I'llhavethat1
    I don't disagree but have to think that some good marble makers paired up with some of the good rod/cane makers and as a team they could pump out a higher percentage of 'nicer' quality marbles.

    It's a nice looking marble. I think Alan's second to last pic might explain what you see on yours, as the cane is "necked down" it's pulled and drawn away from the marble so some of the inner threads/bands (like in your marble) don't always make it perfectly to the pontil. It can be exaggerated more on some examples vs. others.

    Yardbirds!

    Have you held it up to a strong source of light? Some hand gathered 'opaques' allow a bit of light through and give a clue from what's inside.
  8. I'llhavethat1
    Yeah, the font looked a bit weird.

    Awesome pic, look at the size of the saddle on that thing. Nevermind, seat is probably in the 'raised' position.

    melon ball?

    Located the marble and pictures turned out not so good but here they are anyway if it helps (low light and battery). And my photobucket is not cooperating, so just 1 pic

    Lol, the old man might be right then! I tied my dog to it once and she just dragged it around when a bird or squirrel went by. Which I suppose could mean that my dog likes squirrels more than horses do. Thanks for the link

    Probably more potpourri than 'fun'. My Dad's guess was for the old milk delivery horses. It looks like a boat anchor but if you look close there is XVII on the top.

    I see a green one there i like very well in the first pic
  15. I'llhavethat1

    Yes? No?

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

    My guess would be Pelt, but larger pics will help

    The marble looked a little off for being a funky corkscrew or Akro, but I'll see if I can find some more pics
  17. I'llhavethat1
    Closest I could find is this pic, but I can't tell you if it's new or old or who made it. looks to be similar colors? Maybe?
  18. I'llhavethat1
    Wow, your memory is better than mine, thought it was earlier. Is that thread somewhere in the archives?
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Are Akro marbles with this blue/white/ox pattern more common in ashtrays than this interesting feller? Sure there were different era's or parts of the plant this could have been made in, just trying to get a feel for it
  20. I'llhavethat1
    Steph, do you remember when that picture was first taken (and/or posted)? Must have been a while ago in the 'scanner' days but I remember seeing it before in an old thread.
  21. I'llhavethat1
    Not sure I follow, but that's probably more from my end Any dimensions available? Is it around the same size/weight as an Akro ashtray? Or is it the presence of oxblood that started the thoughts of it being Akro? Curious piece
  22. I'llhavethat1
    Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. but if you think of putting a spin on Akro patches, they could look like corks (as far as color combos go) Ah well
  23. I'llhavethat1
    Good question Steph. Why not? And if so would they look different than this (in imagination)?
  24. I'llhavethat1
    What an odd grouping, very nice though!
  25. I'llhavethat1
    A workhorse. Plain, served it's purpose, and probably never intended as a play marble
