    Agree.

    That's a nice haul. Congrats!

    Too poor of a pic to hazard a guess. Condition is key on handmades. Light surface wear is a deal killer.

    Nothing worth chasing. If there was anything in the group, it was cherry picked long ago.

    Marble king?

    Alan replied to Melissa's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Yes, later. Often with chunky colorant.

    They were having problems with the glass when those ran.

    Just an idea: Drop one in a glass of water and see how it looks. If it looks much improved, consider finding a glass cylinder whose top can be sealed and drop the (big) marble in it. Cover it with mineral oil, seal and it could make a good display piece.

    A rock tumbler would be no improvement. Possibly worse.

    I take it that the top limey green outer bands are actually transparent green with a yellow band backing it. Nice symmetry on the solid core.

    3/4" is a nice size. Be careful not to temperature shock them with water.

    x 4 Akro patch. Searching for a "color combo" is where you look past the glass and the cut lines that would better help your ID effort.

    If you are asking about change of value from new prices - I would assume that values have softened. I'll defer to a specific Gibson collector who may have a different experience.

    For me: Vintage, original surface. Not a Popeye. Another weird piece that shows that marble making wasn't brain surgery and pretty much anything can come out of a marble tank at some point.

    Carnelian.

    Agree. Nothing there worth postage.

    I have visited their shop and admire their work. I collect enough and have enough time-consuming hobbies that I dare not step on that slippery slope of adding another focus.

    Cool. Nice. Thanks!

    Thanks for posting your pics. To help you going forward - using a black background causes your camera to average the exposure on the majority brightness...which is black in this case. Using a neutral gray or beige background will help the camera expose the marbles better and more details will show. Keep collecting!

    Better pic of the Blenko please!

    If this is going to be at the CT show I'd be interested in seeing it in-hand.
