Sometimes friendship means a lot more than money!!! I think the $3200 I made that show was more than enough.

thanxs galen that was a nice statement. i appreciate the favor ;0) NO PICS sorry

i couldnt tell any marble, was made by either of those two. not enough detail in the pics for my eyes. i dont know when those guys started making the marbles but brownie remembered washington courthouse, springfield antique show and a few other markets that he sold most of those guys work. brownie taught tom thornburg, the ENTIRE CERAMIC MARBLE ART FORM, i think tom does excellent work. brownie did inspire another ceramic artist, i think it was a woman named penny kelley. i do remember the guinea incident in springfield.

old man hamon was a glass artist and did make marbles. two of his nephews john hamon miller and boyd miller went on to make marbles. i worked with boyd often over the years. edna has more knowledge of the hamon glass/bloodline than i do

i miss stopping by to see brownie at the milton west virginia flea mkt, the guy was a class act with many stories and an excellent china marble maker. the storie straight frm brownie was as follows : "most of those were works from charles gibson and old man hamon."

the new pics made a world of difference

malted milk and strawberry ovaltine coated!

i knew it was a changeover, i just didnt know if they were still calling them changeovers. i think its an excellent example

"an excellent rare example of a popeye"

i didnt see any ridging in it and thought it look cueballed, but wouldnt have guessed the yellow had been erased

i knew it was a changeover, i just didnt know if they were still calling them changeovers. i think its an excellent example

i cant understand how these draw such attention? they suck, always have and always will!

If someone were selling this marble as a popeye, i would have NO DOUBT that i was buying a popeye. i can clearly see the "clear" in the marble

i see some peltier characteristics. the bubbling looks similiar to other peltiers. i remember some calling it dirty glass. looks seedy to me. if I were Brian (and im Not) i would pull the marble. if i had to Bet (and im Not Pete Rose either) Brian Doesnt get Any marble wrong.

i dont see a lick of yellow in this, i think a true popeye of this color would have brought more money..........................................

nothing solid yet, health issues keeping me outa the loop

excellent pics!

good documentation of the run ;o)

looks like a rare hybrid popeye to me.

Brass and copper luster? How was that effect achieved?

santa knows!

p.s., the pink is yummy

damn, I can see the torch burn!

mouth watering board!

looking at, buying, selling, trading marbles is all we ever do at our local get togethers and that is enough!!

free beer and strippers dont hurt !

thanxs to all, for the additional 15 minute spotlight !

thanxs lou! id even mail him a pile of DNA

But it was the clear glass dipped into the chemicals Galen - that's what they said and I believe Corning knows a heck of a lot about glass!!!!!

one would tend to think that way!
