interesting!

Not large but I like very much.

While searching for a different pic, I stumbled across this again and sometimes a pic just needs to be posted. So enjoy ....

Aw ... I was just imagining how cool it might have been to have that one in my marble bag in 1900. (:

Just show us all the pretty purples all together. *pretty please with sugar on*

That makes me want to put on knickers and a newsboy cap and knuckle down ...

And then when you have things mostly figured out you see a cat eye sell for $100 and everything gets turned upside down again.

"More complicated" is a good way to say it. Some prices will be lower than those in the Block guide. Some will be higher. And the multiplier system can really get out of whack if you try to toss in more than one feature. The multiplier calculations once gave me a $2500 estimate on a marble which I eventually sold for $80.

So much culture! I get more in this thread than anywhere else.

If they're different colors they might be called mellon balls. (Yes, I think people spell "mellon" with two ells -- I don't know why.) I presume they'd bring a little more money.

That blue and orange just made me lose my breath when I opened the thumbnail!

I don't think ebay would be responsive to us no matter how many people contacted them. If a company with an active trademark to protect threatened them with legal action, they might care. But the last time I read their policies the kind of fraud I most object to didn't even seem to be against their rules. The things they most often consider rules violations seem to be things which stop them from getting money. If fraud raises the amount of money they can get -- like when someone forges an Akro box and convinces someone that it's real -- then they're happy to collect the bigger fee.

That is sharp!

Sorry for your loss. Our three boys are all 14 years old. Each moment is precious.

Thanks, Mike.

Hello. Agree with Pelt NLR. Date would be circa 1930. Looks like it could be a "burnt" something.

Is that from your area?

ZOMG!

nice pattern and colors!

That looks like a rat to me .....
