Those are nice! I remember that it was a lot of fun making them. I know when the clay is old or it's cold outside, you really have to work it to get it nice and malleable. You can use some of the same techniques in clay that they do in glass- particularly cane making. The possibilities are nearly endless. I remember seeing some really amazing clay marbles on line. If I recall correctly, Marlow Peterson made quite a few of them too.

Nice ones there, Nickel! Funny you posted this, I just happened to find some I made about 10 years ago when my wife was doing Fimo stuff. I was just playing around one afternoon and made this batch. I had totally forgot about them until I found them again a couple of days ago. Here's the pics- one with flash and one without.

Bumping to the top. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

They are all in the .46 to .50 inch range.

They definitely made peewees during that time. Here are a couple of pics of ones I have. I believe these are all JABO, but I'm 100% on that. There are definitely some butt cracks. Let me know it you want some more detailed pics and I can do that.

Cool I got some that were named by Dave himself! And nice provenance with that bag @Nantucketdink Thanks for the help!

Those are my 2 guesses. I couldn't pick one... left one is 19/32 (.59) inches with some yellow UV in the off shade of white. The right one is 35/64 (.54) with no UV.

I think the green and white one is Heaton. I see an ear in pic 1 and a backside blip of color in the last pic. It's 19/32 (.60) inches with no UV. I don't know what the other one is. It's 39/64 (.61) no UV.

One is 3/4 inch and one is just under at .72. No UV. The pattern and glass scream JABO to me, even a bit of a butt crack in the second one. But the colors? Not an investor run that I'm aware of.

I agree- I've learned so much here. All the help is much appreciated!

Thanks Akro. The pics are fairly accurate- the marbles are a dark black with just the light wispy white. Not too exciting.

Thanks folks. I was hoping I'd got it right, but maybe next time! Least I had it narrowed down to 2 possibilities- I just went with the wrong one.

Marble King? Black base glass. They are 39/64 and 5/8 inch with no UV.

They are 19/32 and 5/8 inch with no UV. I have them with my Marble Kings, but that is just my guess.

Based on the deep V or U shaped seam. It's 21/32 (.64) inches with no UV.
