    Had a recent question about pontils and am throwing this one out for the broader knowledge base! What do you think?

    I don't think you could go wrong for $10, nice!

    Awesome pattern. I like those colors. Does the surface look original?

    I'm thinking that blue/red is a Pelt. There look to be some nice Pelts in that group. And the Akro's aren't too shabby either!

    At the far end of the scale where a "precision banded Indian" starts to look like a "banded transparent". Due to the base glass. And the white stripes. That would look nice with some Indians for sure.

    Nice looking marble

    Chuck, I was talking about the first one you posted. The clear base shows almost a "wirepull" pattern, which you wouldn't see if the base was opaque..Does it look that way in hand?

    Wow, nice mibs here! I've heard the term before but that's about it. First one is a knock-out, whatever it's called

    Now you got me thinking on how this could occur on rollers, which would normally make marbles round/spherical. These nubs actually protrude and are 180 from eachother. They look a bit different than standard touch marks or cold rolls so maybe it is 1/3 of a barbell or some other factory reject. But not a cane cut one, drat I'll have to keep looking. lol

    Could be now that you mention it. It's more of a German Sparkler I guess for lack of a better name. It would roll a certain way or else skip! Stuck to other ones on the rollers is a possibility. hmm

    Lol, just joking. What an oddball, check this out. No machine rounding on this one. May be reworked with a torch (look at that/those punty marks) on opposite poles. Thought it might be good for an ogle. How did it happen you ask? I do not know. Non-faceted.

    Here's a quick pic, The one in the middle is probably closer to what you mean. The right one is likely unintentional. Instead of being a "round" latt, picture it "flat"... like a ribbon, lol Hope that helps.

    It's good to see some posts here from those that you don't see posts from too often. I think we can do it.

    Thems are purdy! Nice pics along with the labels
  17. I'llhavethat1
    wow, that's nice!

    Hm, interesting. Sometimes we'd play 1 good marble for a few average ones to make it "even", but most times the marble you were playing for had to be in the game. Then once you win they get blindly tossed in the marble bag with dozens of others to rattle around and get damaged. lol

    Lol, love the pH test. Is that oxblood?
  20. I'llhavethat1
    In my days on the playground if you wanted to win a good one you'd have to play a good one. Plenty of the 'good ones' got chipped in battle. Some people played the basic game, but when there were 'good ones' involved it usually involved a crowd.

    That's pretty cool, quite the stash of glass out back too, turned out great

    Happy B-day Leroy!

    The handmades, anything worth writing home about? Sorting through ~1000 marbles must be fun in itself!

    Round smiles is what it's all about, good way of putting it man

    Putting a grade to anything (unless you know very well what you're talking about - it seems marbles don't fall into a popular category) is subjective at best. Lol Alan, it's true. From the pics I thought maybe mint+ means "better than my pics look"
