MABLE SALE: HOW TO SELL 6,000+ RARE ART GLASS MARBLES
Fire1981 replied to carolk's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Well Alan. A 3 inch Alloway went for $1,500 at the Phoenix Show in 2003. One of Shaun (@$& Hole) McGrady(sp) 6 inch Vortex’s went for $2,500. I’m confident my time spent in the last 25 years collecting Contemporary marbles probably exceeds your interest in collecting them and meeting the Artists who made them as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RAR -

I'll try the #0000 next time I need to remove surface crude🔥 RAR

CLR ,a wet cotton wash cloth and a tooth brush. Metal on glass doesn’t cut it for me. 🔥 RAR

Well show it off! What the heck are you waiting for? Chase it around in your fingers and tell us what you think it is🔥 RAR🍿 -
I dug mine out and had to revisit my Cross Throughs and forgot a few of the color combos I have. So….white,red,orange, yellow and a Green Frizz. I have a Purple one. I just need to find it and keep them all together🔥 RAR

Ooooops. I didn’t clear my last response.

I kind of regret some of the glass I removed. But guess what? This one will now start working on the “Pocket Wear” trait. It’s going in a pouch in a pocket of my work coat I wear at the rink🔥 RAR

I finally ripped these ugly lights off the walls in my basement walls after 5 years and harvested the crystals. 🔥 RAR

OK! Here’s what I have learned. The Kid who owned this marble threw it around like rolling dice. Here’s why this marble got tossed aside. The damage was done to the Ram’s Head. I think the little spoiled Brat was trying to smash it open just to get to the Ram. So there you have it. I didn’t tap out the massive fracture that is on the other side of the Ram’s head. Again. This is why I bought this. One last thing. Polishing this would erase the history of this marble.🔥 RAR

I have done this before. You’ll be surprised how these Moons aren’t as “deep “ in the surface glass as you would think. I very very lightly tap these out with a punch and hammer. Very very very lightly tap🔥 RAR

But it’s mine. This is a before pic before I do my thing 🔥 RAR

I haven’t checked in a while but there use to a Contemporary marble Board. Maybe dig around in Google and see if it’s still up and running. If so I’m sure they can help you out with initial ID’s and other traits🔥 RAR -
9/16 red Akro slag works for me. Thanks for the feedback. The single seam is what hung me up🔥 RAR
