  1. lol, I like it too. 5 generations ago that might have been some kids equivalent of an i-pod or some other forsaken electronic gadget
  2. A smaller board might make more sense to me . The green Mica's are very striking
  3. Real? Probably real coins. I don't collect enough coin to know if those are real or fake errors though. Which benningtons? I'd love to have a roll of old coins like that, but I wouldn't be cashing them in at a bank
  4. Cool, I'm trying to get a scale from the flower pot base, what size are these
  5. The second from right, at 3 o'clock looks like a stunner. Are they still cooling?
  6. you don't often see them that big, is it magnetic? Nice pattern
  7. The one on the left looks like a matte finish, is it like a sandblasted glass?
  8. Wow, white clambroth with black lines is a nice one. You're right though, it's question that has many answers
  9. Yep, definitely a nice marble. The amount of twist, colors, clear glass, and how thin the core is (razor) would make it worth a premium. Like mentioned earlier all it takes is two interested people with deep pockets to drive a price up.
  10. Here's what I'd consider to fit within the definition of submarine, as it applies to Pelts. Other types posted in this thread (green base etc.) I don't think I've ever heard the term applied to. Not that 'Pelt submarine' makes much sense to begin with
  11. Nice marboman! Some of those look like Pelts and some I couldn't bet on (it's tough to tell from pics, I know). 1-1/16" Pelt slag would be a pretty big Pelt slag, and the 1" Rebel might end up being more of an Alley than a Pelt, but who knows
  12. Man, unique marbles like this is about as good as anybody could ask for from a handmade. Thanks for the pics, it may have been some tough bargaining, and from the sounds of things there's still some nice 7/8 exotic onions floating around too! It's encouraging to see that examples like this exist. Awesome.
  13. Not sure what happened here. Looks like a 7/8" hand gathered slag that didn't get along too well with the machine that tried to round it
  14. Lol nice pic. You're not too far off, those even look like marble "canes"
  15. The density calculations are a good start. Still relatively light at 1.4. Some type of polymer is my guess but I haven't seen one. Is it really a paint coating? To get that pattern, the construction (how the surface bonds to the core) might tell more about the material than the density. Paint doesn't stick too well to some polymers.
  16. Those prices are probably 40 years old. Just goes to show things change, I'd think a parrot would get a better price than a donkey nowadays.
  17. There's a price guide in this old book. donkey and bird both listed. If only! lol
  18. I've only seen the term applied to a Peltier, if it has a translucent blue base and orange-y yellow ribbons like some examples shown in this thread. Backlight the one in question from the first post and tell us what you see (getting a back-lit pic can be tough).
  19. Nice marbles , one of my favorite patterns too. you should let them out more often...
  20. Dan, glad to see you lol -ing. I think you've got some decent marbles there. If you can work a scanner, it's pretty close , but your latest pics are looking OK!
  21. Would you entertain a digital camera in trade for some of the marbles posted?
  22. ...of the first two marbles posted, I meant. lol. Regardless, marbles posted in your second group look pretty much hand gathered to me too, you obviously know what a pontil looks like, right?
  23. I'd venture hand gathered on the second marble re: bottom row middle. Maybe on both actually. Nice marbles.
