galen can you take a picture under a black light im curious on what it looks like

the world fair and hoover were just post a few weeks back http://marbleconnection.com/topic/18986-ebay-as-a-wholesale-market/?hl=hoover#entry163732

does anyone have handmade marbles with adventurine in it....

has anyone else seen a pelt nlr with oxblood like the superman in the link above

i saw that one on ebay last week

very nice hansel... you got a great score on chinas

i have to agree with hansel its more comfortable to look on e-bay, craigslist or even this forum or others for things people are selling ... plus i set-up at flea markets and i might have something worth a lot of money but the only people that see it is those who come to the flea markets.. or to the antique shops'... where the internet covers the world.... plus when going to antique shops in my area it doesn't look like people rotate their stock... they always have the same things and ask way to much and complain when people wanna make them a lower offer.. i was at stoudt's black Angus in Adamstown PA, where i live about 45 mins from there and i saw a marble that was an old German handmade solid core 1 1/4" it had pocket wear and 2 moons no missing glass.. the guy wanted 90.00 i told him 60.00 cause of the condition ... he said to me, get out of here you people must think we get things for free you pay my rent for being here.... i walked away that was last winter well i was there again a few weeks ago and its still there with the same other things again i asked him how much and he said 90.00 i told him 60.00 he said nope i walked away... my point is yes that's only a marble but its taking up real estate and you might take a little hit on one thing to make room for new things that you make a killing on... even if the guy paid 50.00 or 75.00 or even 80.00 he didn't even come back with a counter offer... wouldn't you at least want to make a sale rather then loose the sale... i mean i think 60 was a fair offer i believe on ebay i could get 65.00 -75.00 that what i see on their. i don't know am i being fair on that offer or his he just being a stubborn grump trying to triple his money on every little thing...

not a chocolate cow.... chocolate cow is a light brown base with black adventurine ribbons...

galen i wanna see pictures when its restored and filled up

VERY NICE that glass is very thick... what was it orginally used for

i thought i saw a pelt blue angel lower left..

very nice... i like the black latt...

i bought a lot of marbles that had corkscrews and popeyes. paid $12.00 plus some peltier one was a presidental peerless patch i sold for $700. i really wish i kept it

i agree with galen lots of orange peel on the surface....

clydetul and any others that fly to shows... do you carry your marbles with you as a carry on or do you put them in with the luggage... reason im asking have you ever lost you luggage with the marbles... or did you get to the show and your marbles haven't.... just curious if anyone has had this happen or know of it happening....

FIRST TIMER GOING

jeff frankie is somewhere down there he's a handmade collector though.... im not sure exactly but somewhere in the carolinas

THANK YOU GALEN....

i see on ebay morphyauctions has the guinea halves and the supoosed guniea cane... that doesn't even look like it belongs there.... i check the realized price was 270.00 ... who wants to say it doesn't even break 150... there is a seller on ebay that sells gueinea halves and cobra and cyclones you can get 10 od them for around 60.00 i think thats pushing it... the cane i think it a josephs coat cane... the colored glass is stretched ... i don't think any cac marble looks like that... plus correct me if im wrong but hand mades came from canes and machine mades had cullet that was left over... what are you thoughts

wow that price for a marble that bad....

not even close CAC was way a head of there time... look at all thier colors and marbles. thats why they have some of the most expensive machine made marbles... look at the slags the guinea cyclone cobras opaques transparents there isn't another company that came close to CAC... imho

omg hope everythings good

now thats funny

we had drifts of 16+ inches it wasn't fun with the wind... can you post more pictures of the seams...
