More Pix.

Not mine yet.. person wants that for one box.

Been a while since I've seen these and unsure of value, The one is complete the other is not. Any interest let me know.

Thanks to Ronnie these marbles are now presentable .

Before they looked like someone put them in a rock tumbler.

What a difference!!!!

Thanks again Ronnie.

Yeah on the hand mades, I think I may know you, didn't you come to my house in Kettering about 15 years ago and I gave you some material for your marbles> Ronnie

That was me.

Ronnie, I have one that looks like that. Could this be a Cobra also?

I was there also, I only got a couple hand mades.

Hey Ronnie, was that the Deer Run Lodge marble auction?

I have a thousand dollars here burning a hole in my pocket.

Got the marbles back from the marble doctor today. They look much better.

Does the green onion in the first pic have lutz or is it dirty glass? Some of the other ones pictured don't look quite 'bad' as-is, but hope you get the results you're looking for,

I think it's dirty, but would love to see some lutz.

what size is that big onion ?? how bad / sick is it ?? Mike

The green onion is around 1 3/4" I think. They are not that sick, no major chips or cracks. The larger Lats are not as lucky, they have more chips.

Sending these off to the Marble Doctor for some mending. Will post after pix when I get them back.

Thank you Beth for posting the pictures. That was a great collection of Peltiers and thought others would enjoy seeing them. Like you, I too was surprised when I saw the size and condition. If you decide to get some of your mortgage payment back. Let me know.

Heres the other side Steph.

I see I could'nt fool anyone with my carpet ball. Maybe next time.

Picked this up today, thought it was interesting, the size is 3 3/8" ..... and solid. The bad thing is, someone ground a spot on the other side and inserted a small metal rod to hold it on a display. Has anyone seen one before?

Thanks, MMM

Where ya been, Main-Marble-Man?

Right here lurking in the dark. :ph34r: Lol.

It looks like it sold for 97K in Sept.

He and another old feller was telling me how they were the best marble shooters in the area (Cincinnati, Ohio) as children. I asked if he had ever had any orig. boxes of marbles, he said he was a poor kid, and poor kids couldn't afford to buy the boxes. He won all that he had. Said he hated steelies, they tore the hell out of his marbles. I could see the gleam in their eyes as they were talking back and forth telling me about their shooters, it was allmost like they were kids again.

Is this the one ur talking about David ?... I think Akro.

Thanks for the replies, its nice to listen to the old timers talk about thier childhood,

Gas........ $10

Marbles.... $90

talking with the man that played with these as a child -------- PRICELESS

Thanks for all the info.

Does anyone have an ideal of the value.
