What a fun trip back into time. A special find. Thank you for sharing it with us. Would be neat to see his marbles also.

A brick will be a swirl. See Rick's link: ANTIQUE M.F. CHRISTENSEN and Son Transitional Brick Marble -- Excellent Specimen $39.00 - PicClick Your marble is not a swirl. I agree that it has a Master look to it, or some other maker with Master-like seams. With the small size, I also agree with Melissa's assessment that it is a game marble.

Not particularly. Some people successfully sell them for a few dollars. But they can also be found for pennies.

Noice!

Yes, first clay. I'll go with a highly damaged ball bearing on the second. Of course kids did play marbles with ball bearings, and called them steelies.

My google image search is coming up with it being a Brunswick Pharmacal pill bottle. I am seeing this particular BP as eventually having been taken over by Johnson & Johnson.

Gorgeous! That one blue marble feels very appreciated, let me tell you.

Thanks for looking that up for us!

My first thought is Jabo. More views might help.

Good question. I don't know. It doesn't look very early to me. But the MarbleAlan page at Buymarbles.com is calling it a Miller Swirl. ??!! Now wondering what the Peltier book says.

The Honey Onyx. It is treated as one of the holy grails of Peltiers. Someone will post a glorious multi-shaded translucent-based Peltier and will be hoping it is a honey onyx, because everyone wants to find one, right? The response will be, "No, that's not one, keep trying." Then that marble which is so much prettier than an actual honey onyx will be brushed under the rug without any of the oohing and aahing that it deserves. Here's mine. Another of the forgotten treasures I have found in my attic while searching for marbles to give away to the neighbor child. You have many many "just rainbos" which are prettier, don't you! (Yes, it is one. 11/16+. Has the expected green line, though faint. It has a frosty face, so it's only a place holder, but it is Gino-Biffany-Approved. )

Hi Steve. I am around but not very much. I have disconnected from most of my internet activity and am moving on from marbles. Thanks for the kind words though my knowledge is getting kinda fuzzy.

Fwiw, Heaton sounds right to me. And for sure not a flame.

Wedding? Is this a new development? If so, congratulations.

The winner is Art. Congratulations, sir!

Heh. ☺️ 37 minutes 👍

It is pinned in the archives.

Bump. Ends tomorrow.

I agree. The purple heart and purple key chain may be from old Champion stock. Not sure. My memory is awful for color, but I seem to recall Dave had large quantities of purple Champions he was trying to find a home for about that time.

Parting with my Jabo/DAS has its own challenges. Most of my sets came to me personally from Dave, or from Edna Eaton. Dripping with sentimental value. Is that list all you are missing? Did you find a blue and white Nova yet? It turns out I have one. Thought so but wasn't certain. And the set isn't as complete as I thought it was. That makes it easier to part with individual marbles. It does have fractures.

This picture turned out okay! DAS necklaces and keychains from 2015

I just finished my taxes. Getting a nice refund, feeling flush. I will pay the shipping. Even international.
