Dan took table number 36 if you need one let me know pretty soon Charles

Looks like a Peltier Butterscotch

I am truly amazed to find one of my auctions listings being the subject hotly bantered about here on the forum. Last night Hansel indeed did contact me about the auction in question as a friend would if he had a concern about it. I told him inhand the pontils look fine to me. Being concerned about what he told me I contacted a couple of handmade collectors today while I was at work. They said they could not tell from the pictures if the marble had been reworked. I work in the field with no internet so I had no idea this thread was even being discussed until someone called me this afternoon. Do I think the marble has been remelted and the pontils added.....no. Can I explain those scratch like marks Jeroen pointed out....no. If the marble has been reworked would it still have the two small quarter moons I pointed out in my listing. Also would it still have the imperfections in the glass which are common to handmades? Why when I listed this same marble some time back(with a reserve that was not met, hence it being listed again) did'nt someone point this out to me. Right wrong or indifferent I will end the auction. I appreciate the supportive emails sent to me today from board members advising me to be sure and read the forum tonight. Charles

I think they are both reproduction and the listing makes no mention of it Charles

Speaking of Morphy's what do you think about these medals: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-2-STERLING-SILVER-MARBLE-MEDALS-/360778796044?pt=Marbles&hash=item5400178c0c#ht_600wt_1160

Here is some of mine that I have pictures of:

That's my 224 box.............Chad must of stole my picture. LOL That is the bag that came with the box but it may not be the correct bag for the box Charles

How do you know these are fake? Charles

If Gary Huxford wanted the Amana show to continue after he decided this year was his last show he would have passed the torch but he didn't. There is going to be a show this Sept, in Des Moines and next year hotel arrangements have already been made for a show in Des Moines for the weekend in June when Amama is normally held, Myself I plan on going to the Des Moines show as will many from the KC Marble Club. Charles

I could see some/few marbles from one company being found at another companies site, they did buy back and forth. But cullet.....I wouldn't think so.

The link is not working

Tough box to find, I got lucky earlier this year Sorry Steph they don't fluoresce but they are opalescent. The base glass is absolutly full of tiny bubbles, they don't look handgathered to me. Charles

I don't understand them not taking a credit card it's instant payment. They know right then if it's good or not. I paid the morning after the auction with a credit card and it still took 2 1/2 weeks to get my winnings. I bought boxes they were as described but the grading of the marbles in them was lacking.

I hope to be happy if I ever receive them LOL

I would like to thank everyone who attended and helped make this show a success. Huge crowd on show day with lots of marble walking in the front door. One guy walked in with a CA Cobra and only wanted $35 for it untill he found out it's true value. LOL

Ann I have two with a crown and the number ten. Both are printed on popeyes Charles

I could tell by the tone of your voice when you opened the bidding that you were meant to have that marble. Charles
