"Welcome to Marble Connection Heather" If you have any questions marble or glass related don't be afraid to jump right in. Again, "Welcome"

Box looks real to me but the dividers don't look original & the marbles almost have a guarantee of being backfilled. Don't think I'd be in any hurry to purchase anything from Argentina though !!

Thanks Tommy I had to run !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection Susan" Someone will be by in no time to help you out. Again, "Welcome"

Another great video from Stephen ::

X2, agree, Jabo swirl

" Happy "Thüringen Thursday"

Steph's link is the only forum actually called "Japanese Transitionals" I've seen the extensive amount of knowledge you've contributed to the hobby on AAM. I was there on your very first post, thank you for all the hard work/. I truly hope you find something new here.

X2, Akro cork but not a Popeye, still a good sized cork.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Shiroaiko" Here's a recent post from YesudaCollector for you to look @. You probably recognize some of the pictures from AAM. Maybe a look into "Stephs Study Hall" or using the search bar will reveal something new to you ?? LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/37624-hello-from-poulsbo-wa/#comment-322211

I believe we have a board member from Poulsbo, a small would indeed. Nice mibs BTW

"Welcome to Marble Connection Tony" Yes rare indeed if it is truly an inch & a Popeye. If you have a picture of the marble being measured in a set of calipers please present it. Again "Welcome"

X3, agree w/ Pelt

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Anxious to see your mibs, post away !!! Again, "Welcome"

Looks like it may have a frosted surface & be of foreign make ??

Sounds very familiar Brad ....

Smore:

All the yellow based comics are uv, I think a red patch w/ a blue base is the rarest next would be the dark green base w/ a yellow patch UV RARE :: I think this is the first sale of this marble. It later was found to have a small blow hole bringing the price down to around $6000.00 . I have the secondary sale saved somewhere but can't find it @ the moment. I'll post it when I do. Found the resale, guess it was 2 months later & $5000.00 not $ 6000.00, still a hefty price for one marble. The $11,600.00 would have stood if it had no defect.

X2, Akro Popeye patch

IDK what it is, gonna stick w/ not Peltier, I've seen transparent base & opaque base K&M but not translucent, all the colors including the ribbon colors are off, anything is possible though

Can you backlight the marble "please" the base looks translucent instead of opaque, I'd like to take a closer look @ the reddish ribbons to, a few things are little off ?? The "red" looks almost like oxblood ?

19/16ths ?? Not so sure about Pelt either, looks a bit to funky, structure & colorwise.
