  1. Big smile @ Rylee & Stacy here. Rylee you just brought back some childhood memories. When I was growing up, Stephanie wasn't that common a name yet so I often was called either Jennifer or Stacy. About the marble ... I didn't know enough to make a guess. It looked sorta newish to me, but I wasn't certain and hoped someone else would know.
  2. Well ... with that ribbon color and that base I guess it's time to chime in with my usual "Cairo Novelty" but there aren't anywhere near as many Cairo Novelties as I guess there are. So don't listen to me!
  3. Congratulations Grandpa! And congratulations to your daughter. LOL - when I saw the title I was looking forward to seeing what kind of craft your daughter was into. But Quinten is nice too.
  4. Great article. You threw me in where you mentioned clay in your open. You mention stone later. Are you seeing both?
  5. M!b$, I think that one is kinda like the bottom left one here. Yours might have had thicker colors but mine look a little more substantial in hand than my foggy picture shows.
  6. At BJ's suggestion, I moved this section of posts to their own thread. Mike, since you didn't get to make a title, if you PM me to let me know how you would like it to read, I can change that. Best wishes to Art's family.
  7. Looks like an Akro from that one view. Other views could change my mind.
  8. Fun! you sent me on a chase for more marble pix. here are some - http://www.designswan.com/archives/life-through-a-marbleamazing-photography-by-caleb.html
  9. Also cool. Can't remember if I've seen that one yet. A couple of new things in it to me - like the reference to Buckminster Fuller.
  10. Yup, if you have Baumann's book there is a CAC Blue Devil in the chapter on Christensen and Peltier. In the 4th edition, the photo is on p. 130.
  11. Link to the Christensen Agate version? I'm trying to find my copy of Baumann's Collecting Antique Marbles. I think there's a CAC Blue Devil in that. Do you have that book?
  12. What Duffy said. Wonder who came up with that name. I looked it up and saw that one-incher listed on ebay ... is that the one you're interested in?
  13. Check these out: http://www.landofmarbles.com/berr997.html
  14. Painted ceramic and I believe they can be had for less than that starting bid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140721484721 Some odd markings on it ... almost like hit marks or are those reflections? ??? Guess they're hit marks. Seller mentions flea bites. I don't know if I've ever seen one of those with damage before.
  15. Thanks! I looked through that one and somehow missed that box.
  16. I'm intrigued. But I don't know what to ask. Which auction was that?
  17. Why European over Alley?
  18. Marie, I think you may just have to wait until someone else comes across some. Maybe the next set will come with more clues about who made them. They're a mystery right now. No one is holding out on you. We'd help if we could. Promise! ( :
