Shamrock Marbles

Sorry, but it is still a bit too fuzzy for me to make out the signature. It appears to be three lines of text. Followed by the year (03 or 05). I went through Steph’s list of Contemporary Artists, but came up short. Sorry, for not being helpful.

Give this a try… Take a black sharpie marker and black out the signature area. Let it dry. Rub the glass surface with your thumb-pad to remove the marker on the smooth surface. The remaining black in the grooves will help the signature stand out. Repost a picture with the black signature. First guess = Sonny Miller Best of luck!

Yeah, baby! Thank you for posting.

…there was a fuss between two marble companies played out in Federal Court. An excerpt from the court proceedings: What caught my eye was the mention of Serial Number 1399. 😀 That machine survives and is in the possession of the perfect owner. Let bygones be bygones. I pray your Akro and Peltier marbles get along in your collection. Enjoy the journey!!

Looks great. Super idea about the BB Card covers!!

Excellent! Are you going to punch the header and put the marbles in a mesh bag? Keep it up. This is fun stuff. Enjoy your journey!! Please keep us updated.

Speechless. He will be missed. RIP.

Here is a link to a post here from many years ago:

Just to clarify… When these marbles were made, did Super Boy exist? Are not these “names” modern nomenclature that the original manufacturer did not use? Please advise…

Shopping today and ran across this… Merry Christmas!!

Fire is talking about a Field Box in the user profile: Do the Administrators know what this about?

Sweet! That is a great story. Thanks for sharing the marble love.❤️

Here are some of your pictures from another post: These five should have been in a Header Pack like these: If I recall correctly, you got these from me as part of a Christmas exchange many years ago.

Yes, it is a Shamrock. Very early in the learning curve. The first ones had two cut-lines. The second generation had one cut-line. It looks like two cut-lines/seams from your photo. Spectrum stained glass. SP-161 Yellow, SP-209 White/Crystal an SP-125 Green. A couple other examples: Enjoy!!

That looks very familiar. 🤔 Merry Christmas! 🔥

Final follow up: Jack Hahn called me today. He confirmed that Herman C. Leonhardt signed his marbles “HCL”. Jack also stated that Herman only made large marbles (>2” diameter). SCETV: https://www.knowitall.org/video/herman-leonhardt-glassmaker-big-picture

Thank you for the heads up! Hang in there!!

Fire, I think the unit price was $150. Seems to be a bit steep, but apparently there was an audience/clientele. Personally, I’d prefer the original. 😀
