Looking For Marble Collectors In Europe
Steph replied to marbles_lover's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hi. Gonna move this to the main forum so more might see. I'll leave a link in the buy-sell-trade forum. -
Thanks Winnie. ... and I like your comparison example!
-
That's a kinda pretty MK. .... Does it have a special name? I wouldn't mind his uranium slag collection. That's a nice group.
-
Pretty marbles. Good luck!
-
Absolutely GOTTA fix that!

Here's Cheese's CAC and Alley comparison. CAC on the left. Alley on the right. Post any comparisons you feel inclined to. New versus old. Company A versus Company B. Different shades of colors within the same family. American versus Japanese or European. Sparkler versus Sunburst. NLR versus Rainbo. Anything.

What? Huh? You don't got no bananas? Of any color? We gotta fix that!
-
It's gotta be Vacor .... no? Still gorgeous, but how could it be anything else?
-
... it's sorta swirly .... that put me in a West Virginia frame of mind.
-
I just found a baby blue & white in clear in my Pennsboro Alley box to back up that guess. I'm fairly solid Alley now.
-
I wanna guess Alley on that one. The filament is horsehair oxblood. Sometimes happens with glass in the blue/green range. Presumably from copper-based elements used for coloring. I believe it to be accidental.
-
.... ar ar ar I can totally see that now that you mention it. Camera illusion though ... the banana is more narrow looking in person. (:
-
Looks like Alley to me.
-
#2 sure is pretty. Is that a baby blue ribbon?
-
#5 looks to me like a messed up game marble. If I had to make a guess I'd say Alley.
-
#4 is obviously a slag, but whose? When there aren't clear identifying signs, Akro is a good guess based on numbers produced.
-
#1 looks like a transitional. Maybe Japanese.
-
Edit: split off for BullGull #1 #2. #3. #4. #5.

My Pelt Honey Amber Banana ... Joe sent a card with provenance which would I wanted to use as the backdrop of the photo but I put the card somewhere "safe" so it wouldn't get bent and January will likely be over before I find it.

oh my goodness!

Oh. Right. Of course.

Can't remember much about the dumpsite. I think that someone did some digging and then it was a middle man also in China who brokered the sales. I got the impression that it was a general dumpsite, not one connected with a glass house. Or at least no confirmation one way or the other about the nature of the dumpsite. ^^ vague memory
