    Stan Block's Sulphide book is a good source on comparable values. He shows that particular one on Page 109. It does not fall under the 'unusual' category so has no 'times' factor. Over 2 inches - near mint would be in $400 + range. Off center has a 20 to 40% deduction. That's all from the book - nothing from me personally.

    Here's a box picture comparison to the Rosenthal Box - different company (or maybe they did for Rosenthal, too).

    I've always favored my split cork with Indian Blanket colors and the gray blue with transparent orange.

    Thanks, Alan! That took a lot of time - great pics!

    Just a little add-on - this was posted on Pete's Board back in August 2004: California Marble Company produced cut and polished agate marbles. They were made from native stone. The company was in Huntington California and produced marbles in the mid to late 1920's. I hope this helps. Rory Martin - coolspec4u

    Neat ones - the variants are great - of course, your fine pics make almost any marble look great!

    There's a few orange ones in part of my cork multitwist box plus one of my favorite corks and an early Jim King handmade.

    It obviously is a CA Box with an Albright label printed on it. Whether they just bought original CA boxes and put their label on them or filled them themselves...? Here's a CA box of that style.

    Question - Edna mentions March 2007 and Steve says March 2008 - which is correct?

    It's been a long time (well over a year) since I had anything for sale on eBay (if it was eBay that you were referring to). By the way, don't mix me up with Rich who is 'Marbles from Oregon' on eBay.

    Collecting securities might become a hobby....

    What's the old saying? 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'!!

    The foreign cat's-eyes by Vacor get up to the 50mm range, which is well over an inch.
  19. Al Oregon
    Sounds like a great idea!

    Wow! That's a lot of families to keep track of. They are all beautiful - I don't see any that I would call 'ho hum' types. Thanks for taking the time to show these, Edna! I noticed that there was a not a picture of #17 Calypso, named by Stephanie. Do you have one?

    Thanks again Steph for all the information

    Congrats on the semi-retirement! It takes the pressure off - you can now do what you want to do. Of course, marbles is still it but you can pick and choose. Enjoy!

    There is a real header/label like that one so I think someone took a legit header and stapled it to a bag of mixed marbles. Here's a picture of front and back of a legit bag with that header (there are several like it). Also note the seam in my pic.

    I'm pretty sure it says Akro Specials on the top line but unsure what's under that.
