  1. And the size, is? Looks more "burnt Christmas tree" colors than "rebel"...close to a pelt like pattern. Could very well be something else though.
  2. Cool, I like the blue/white solid core. The yellow /white divided cores are unusual, did they come together?
  3. It's not one of those "czech guineas" types is it?
  4. Nice Handmades Kevin, real unique ones there. I did a double-take on that lobed red/yellow solid core, thought it was a "twin" Some of "Barton's Beauties" getting time in the sun, these are my favorites
  5. I'd like to see some of those vintage handmades, for one. Post away!
  6. Is that a pic of the finely ground pontil or is it on the other pole? Bright "English" colors, probably close to "end of cane" (you know where the layers and construction can get a bit unpredictable). Super looking marble, but I think it's one of those odd-balls that don't quite fit in a specific category
  7. Here's some what I consider to be close enough to a shade of oxblood they're kept them together. Even if they aren't. The German's may have used a softer glass since it seems like almost all have blow-outs and surface roughness, (especially seen in mine which are beat)
  8. A picture of a blue base out in the sun today (nice and sunny here). then a green based cork too if it helps? These are the only ones I've seen along those lines "> ">
  9. Nice pattern on the middle one. :Happy_143:
  10. Good haul for a single weekend! Don't see too many big ones like that (with the blue base)
  11. I've heard some of those can be newer repro. Did they ever have bails and stoppers? Who needs bottle caps or bails and stoppers when you can have a marble? lol
  12. Especially enjoying all the handmades, that yellow and green is a nice one bj
  13. That must have been the other one I was thinking of (good grief, there are at least two of those beauties!). Individually made? I was leaning more along the line of the incidental looping pattern you'd sometimes see close to end of cane on vintage German marbles. Very interesting marbles.
  14. Hey, that's awesome! - Give your son a high-5 for me. Thanks Lou
  15. Amazing marble. I recall seeing one like it (or more likely the same one) posted a couple years ago and couldn't quite get my head around it. The pattern and size certainly makes it unlike your average cane cut marble.
  16. Not sure which of the two messages to respond in, but anyhow... I've heard that some of the confetti's may have come from the far east somewhere. The opaque (?) spotted ones look like might be kin to the elusive "lightning bolt" pattern. It wouldn't surprise me if marbles were made there.
  17. Here's a couple in the orange range, some look yellow-er or red-er but. Getting a good example of orange might be like trying to capture amber/yellow/peach?... Cool MFC test marble, looks like a decent size.
  18. Can't comment on fair market value, but that's an appealing figure and size. With sulphides, a lot of emphasis is put on how well the figure is centered in the glass, and how visible the detail on the figure is (un obstucted by air bubbles etc). If you got it for a good price then I'd expect you'll come out ahead.
  19. How big is that? Pretty cool, probably took some time to make, let alone come up with the design
  20. Maybe I could get my eyes checked, but I'd wager that some of those are fitting the description of pre-1900. Pre turn of the century is what it reads to me. Pre turn of century means...well sometime before a turn of the century. Kinda vague. :Sad_headshake_tweetz: No comments on the marble that I thought would have the most comments..
