I can easily call it a Superman as well. This one is mine and I call it a Superman.....some call it a Superboy.

Fantastic marble.....but HOLY CRAP!

Derrick

What an unbelievable SCORE! Very envious!

Nothing too unique. The large cabinet was built by mu uncle and holds approx. 100 mibs per shelf. The wall hanger was purchased and the smaller boxes are ones that I made.

Some pics

Here is a brass check valve I own with a marble "check" in it. Threads are about 3/4 inch and the whole valve is about 2 1/2 inches long. Also, a sign with marbles in it.

EDIT- Nevermind, I give up trying to upload the darn pictures. Good grief!

In drink dispensers. (codd bottles) Reflectors, both signs and vehicle.

I can whip you up as many of those as you want on my drill press! LOL Seriously though, I seen that auction and its legit IMHO. Just not something I would personally purchase.

Here's my bag o' Atmospheres. Compliments of Dave. Hard to get a great pic through the net, and the picture holding them up to the window rather sucks, but you get the idea of whats going on inside my three.....

Stunning Carole!

That makes sense Carole. I hadn't figured out what moved the contest. Thanks for the input. Sounds like it was fun!

Thanks for trying Carole, but I still do not understand. LOL What "moved" the cars so to speak?

Great mibs! Can someone give me a quick rundown on how the contest worked. I looked at it, but was lost.

Way too cool Pinx. Thanks for sharing the picture!

I would really appreciate it Sue! I do have a fun time collecting these!

Great to see the 2 of you over here too!

Sue are there 2 sizes of Worlds Fair trays? Or just the jewel trays? What is the larger size something like 6 inches? Thanks.

Any pictures of a large next to a small for comparison perhaps?

This one was polished....and personally, I cannot wait for it to tarnish. LOL I would just use something like Brasso and wipe 'em down. I really don't like the super shiney.

A gift from the love of my life this Christmas. I love these Fisher (Some stamped Vitro) Jewel trays. They are fun to collect as there are different color of mibs, 2 finishes (smooth and hammered), Worlds Fair ones, and I believe 2 sizes.

Really fun to look for!

WCFields....how are you measuring the marble? They are sized by diameter, not circumfrence (sp). Is it 15/16 around or across? Just a thought and a little help.

Looks like a handgathered slag that is half blue and half red.....hmmm.

Very cool finds, I've yet to score any 2 coloreds with no white. Sniff.....Sniff!

Holy Cow!!!!1

I am so jealous right now! If I had a dog, I'd kick it! Great scores!
