Great piece of advertising Dave Any vacant land were the old home has been demolished is worth a walk over i have found, also home`s in the process of being demolished are worth a look ive found many a marble under floor boards or porches and in the yard looks like there is a big vacant block with no grass cover down near the tennis courts on W Jackson st according to google earth i would come with ya but its 17,577 km from my place 😄

yep same the one`s i think are older 2 at 11/16 , 1 at 21 / 32 , newer are 5/8

Yep the older one`s i have 3 here that came with a group of r/w Jap transitional`s one of those rare times when all the sellers marble groups were genuinely older i also have some of the more modern Anacorte that came out of a shur shooter " fantasy bag " so pretty confident

Thinking its a Vitro Anacorte ?

There is a " chance " of them being made in Lauscha on a copy of an American machine, dont know if its the same machine http://www.murmelwelt.de/historie.html Translated version Machine-made marbles Towards the end of the 19th century, the Americans began to develop machines for the mechanical production of marbles. When the marble production in Germany was interrupted during the First World War and the machines of the Americans were further matured, the end of the hand-made, German glass marbles was sealed. America was now the leader in marble production. Companies such as the "Akro Agate Company" or the "Peltier Glass Company" supplied the American market. In Lauscha one had copied one of the American machines and had to pay high penalty for it. also on the same site they show machine made marbles under the heading Neue Murmeln or translated new marbles i believe this would refer to machine mades being modern and handmades being old the German made wire pulls will be in the mesh bags and Veiligglas are a different type The bag is one Buckeye posted a while back

Good looking bunch Stephen

Howdy Steph 🤗

Yeah i love slags and can spot them in a group from a mile away 😎 pretty tough in general to pin down a maker in most case`s but that doesn't make them any less lovable and they are often well played with i find the odd one in that pretty blue like yours and got one a week or so ago from under the floor of an old house made my day 🙂

There looks to be one lonely transitional slag in there as well, top center second one down , it can also be seen in the group picture 6th marble down 4 marble in from the left side Craig

Good times

Dramatic difference Yeah i had a little trouble searching still a few good pictures there though Photobucket screwed us all Blakies are patched the same colour on both poles with the brown equator cobber

there are some pictures in stephs study hall this pic is from there http://marbleconnection.com/topic/6787-mostly-pix-vitro/

think i see what your missing mate Conqueror should be a non coloured transparent base/sphere with a veneer of a coloured patch and white all red is a white non transparant base /sphere with red patch on the north pole a white belt around the equator and a coloured patch on the other pole all red black line is a whitecoloured non transparant base /sphere with red patch on the north pole and the black line on the equator and a coloured patch at the other pole the yellow on this example is just a thining of the red veneer the thicker/deeper the red veneer the richer the red, as the veneer thins the white base takes over and dilutes the richness of the red making it appear yellow and not an added colour hope thats correct and worded ok

Good luck with the hunt i think 6 weeks off marbles proves you don't have a problem and entitles you to let your hair down and go wild

Lovely bunch of green slag goodness there Road Dog nice marbles all

When i hear 11th of the 11th i think of Remembrance day as do most Australians its a Significant day in Australia's History the end of world war 1 celebrated with a holiday religious & Military services and parades a time to remember their sacrifice and contemplate the futility of war Remembrance Day, which was originally called Armistice Day, commemorated the end of the hostilities , the signing of the armistice, which occurred on November 11, 1918 – the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Love the Snow pictures would love to experience it one day Enjoyed a nice hot day in the water yesterday perfect for blackwater result 1930s Pottery Ginger Beer Its been a while between bottles so well pleased with myself

One good turn deserves another so i thought i would put a little lot together ain't got much but thought everyone loves bennies so grabbed a few glossy one`s i thought were more interesting and threw in a lined crockery the biggest is the brown just short of 17mm the smallest just short of 16mm the browns have green which didn't show up to well with my camera the white has blue and brown and if you hold your mouth right and squint click your heels together it almost looks like the brown and blue bleed into green the little brown one i thought was bit of a different colour the blue give a little colour to the group the lined crockery just sweetens the deal might just be the big ones but i thought chuck one in it will definitely lead to a bidding war URL=http://s820.photobucket.com/user/godown44/media/P3020013_zpsse8kp8p9.jpg.html][/URL] i will pay shipping auction will end on the 10th Craig

They have made it immigration has let them in !! celebrated by throwing a few Shrimp`s on the barbie Thanks for the others you threw in Bud i cant leave the Transitional slag alone just compelled to pick it up all the time, very different to the others i have here Thanks Bud

Yeah mate im with ya and agree i've seen a few Cac i would have said were Striped Trans for sale as Slags which derailed me a bit as i like this type and thought i had a bit of an idea about them but realize im not quite on the same page Thought this one shows some of the traits you have mentioned not a very strong striped pattern i kinda put that down to production on the day ?

I've been doing some reading on here and i now realize why this thread has no traction
