Are Not Quite Round Marbles More Or Less Collectible?
I'llhavethat1 replied to sclsu's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
one of my favorite not-quite-round shooters. Apparently got stuck and cooled on the rollers? -
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?
-
I'd say the second group of pics makes things a bit more interesting.
-
although it doesn't really look like a Peltier on the right that's the first thought I had
-
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
-
With the way Pelt patterns got wonky, that could look to some as the same marble from two views

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.

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

Congrats on the brick. Without a bit of damage they probably wouldn't have garnered the name to begin with, just adds character
-
yes, it shows a handgathered pattern if that's what you mean
-
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?
-
Some could be Akro but it was a group pic

Green with aventurine.

$600 For A Contemp Sulphide?
I'llhavethat1 replied to spara50's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
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 -
Art Deco Peltier Box Project

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 ) -
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
-
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.
-
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
