  1. Euro machine made Sparkler
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Agree. Nothing there worth postage.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. If this is going to be at the CT show I'd be interested in seeing it in-hand.
  8. It is just that. It has several problems, not the least of which is overheating and wrong glass action moving to the surface where it doesn't belong.
  9. As Tommy noted - "oxblood" can be caused by a chemical reaction in the pot.
  10. The distribution has the look of incidental oxblood. That can occur is most glass pots used for marble making.
  11. Air bubbles and oven brick.
  12. This thread has become an echo chamber.
  13. First is likely a divided ribbon core. Second is a banded (coreless) swirl.
