  1. Without the boxes or groups (or provenence) of acutually being one, based on those pictures, I'm not sure what they'd be ID'd as or sell for at a show.
  2. I've seen these on piano stools, but not much else furniture like chairs/ etc.
  3. going through some of my "Vitro" marbles earlier, I considered how mass produced marbles can pretty much look close to vintage marbles and the possibility of getting them confused. Marble buyer responsibilty makes sense to me. you can't save them all lol
  4. Nice pics/explanation Don, here's a couple more Vitro conqueres I think
  5. Here's a couple more, with an opal-ly base
  6. Penny (Canada). Same size as a normal penny
  7. Intentional or unintentional, it looks like it has three stages from the pics. It doesn't fit the traditional ID though. polished? Plenty of the larger handmades have colors that go all the way to the pontils, and others do not. $700 for a marble is a lot of mony
  8. A day late, but here's a few handmade and Pelt peewee's (with a 1/2" and 5/8). You'd think they'd get lost all the time.
  9. That's pretty cool. Totally tubular
  10. More pics of the "clasp" part (opposite of the mark) might help narrow it down a bit more
  11. Thanks Al, that thread was good for a laugh. The Mozilla troubles I've had have been more recent than that though, probably one of the settings got changed in an update. Cool postcard pic
  12. Used to be able to with Mozilla, but eBay pages looks different now and pics aren't right-clickable. It might have something to do with browser settings?
  13. How many different colors were made? or maybe the better question is: are the non-orange ones still considered "flinties" or something else?
  14. I've seen a couple like that but they are more half and half construction of the green/red (less white). Nice clarity to those pics
  15. A lot of dinky toys got initialed with nail polish or model paint. Somebody must have liked that marble to initial it, although it could be a contemporary artist doing the right thing and signing their work?
  16. I'd heard about some brass ones, which makes sense if you look at Christmas-type jingle bells, formed similarly and more malleable than steel. Nowadays they make ball bearings in ceramic which look pretty much just like glass marbles - (although obviously a lot less out of round)
  17. Lol, interesting stats and Sami makes a good point - objective vs. subjective. I didn't see a category for 3 seams but expect it's a possibility if the glass folds back on itself.
  18. Could be, are there only 9 holes on that game board? If from a game itwould make sense if the game board had more holes (same with your pic),but thanks for posting that ziggy.
  19. Interesting marbles, glad I found this thread. Posted these earlier and they're similar to some of the other blue and white marbles shown later in this post. Haven't heard of a blue panther but would think that name is better suited for the blue/black types pictured earlier in the post.
  20. First pic where the left light reflection is, what's going on there?
  21. Domino's and chess pieces were made out of ivory or bone. Dice too. Could be game marbles. No evidence of hand-ground-facets on these lol.
  22. Looks like a 7 to me, figured they could be ballot box marbles or something? Game marbles maybe?
  23. So, I'm curious is the gutta perchs were originally intended to be more "rubbery" like a bouncing ball, or a marble? Were they game marbles like carpet bowls ?
  24. Wow! thanks for that pic! I was hoping to see more detail from the first one, especially the one with the figures. Amazing. Good luck with the auction duffy , even if it is a superball post pics. lol
