  1. lol , not quite close to 'splitting hairs' but getting there . (bad joke) 3o, out of curiosity are most of your peewee collection machine made or handmade?
  2. Surprised nobody's commented on the pics from the auction in OP? Is that green? or transparency from being backlit (and would it make any difference whether it is a wasp or black widow?) I'm Marble King illiterate
  3. Were the 'braaats' soaked in beer overnight? They are pretty good when boiled in beer then grilled. (personal taste I guess) I was down south this past week and did have some fried okra. And lots of other fried stuff.
  4. There is a pontil (square as it gets,) some seedy glass, Hey, as long as you like it is the important thing, right? Good luck with your marbles
  5. Would it be possible that some of the advertisements used 'stock' illustrations and were built to order ie: contact us with your current request and we'll make you something similar to what's shown. Yes it will be round and glass.
  6. For some reason I want to say the original post, left most one may be a bit older than the rest. The big red one in the same pic, so that's a blue base?
  7. I don't collect those but man, nice grouping
  8. Agreed that most would have ended up as Joseph coat style. Good examples Roger
  9. Interesting. there are other incredible single pontil marbles from earlier as well, but not often in that style I agree
  10. Those are some pretty unique examples, don't know how many others but I'd like to see them as well
  11. Makes you wonder if some of the larger German handmades were really intended to be used as marbles? I think around 1-1/4" was about as large as most American marbles were made
  12. Not so sure about that part, a lot of German marbles I've seen have a similar trait.
  13. You thinking a glass top? Throw some 'claw' feet on there and you'd be good to go. Nice find
  14. Agreed, there is something about this type that makes me wish there were more color combo's
  15. Small headed Elephant? Maybe a Lion? I doubt all the sculptors were 100% on anatomy (although surprisingly good most of the time)
  16. I get the tongue-in-cheek, but if you do have examples of NLR's that fit that description they sound interesting
  17. blocked due to geographic location maybe?
  18. this part is classic: Really? Is it a magical unicorn or a lawyer?
