My review is in the Board of Inquiry forum. I will take my copy to the Seattle show

If anyone wants a copy I have one for sale, cheap. Sorry to say I can not recommend anyone buy the pamphlet. Feel free to email me for a complete review.

time for a new(old) car isn't it??? Have a good one!

Sounds better than "Huge Fracture" (LOL)

As for wanting more info, I usually like to read a review or two before I purchase a book. Just ordered it so save the reviews(LOL)

Some of the movement in the glass does look a bit strange for sure.

They actually appear to have been in a tumbler of some sort. The odd square shapes can be the result of tumbling.

I don't know about Mike but I love getting some new facts(Actually he still enjoys learning like most of us..Can't wait to read some facts having to do with Arnold and CAC. And I have never heard of that school Ann mentions. Sounds like a sad place. When I talked to the Author a couple of years back he had been working at it for some time.

I am going with beat up, torched, ground down, sort of polished contemporary of some type.

Did anyone besides me actually talk to the author?

I offered him information but never seemed to get any response. I hope it has some factual information based on paperwork and documents.

Mike is one great host!!!

Akro like most companies made many game marbles. Usually a major part of their production. Akro made several games and also sold boxes of 60 game marbles for Chinese Checkers.

What they did with the boxes?? Sorry, I did not record who owned these boxes

Very cool. Have a picture of the bottom?

Sure would like to see some closeups of the green spots.

And I was not accusing anyone of anything. Just giving my opinion on the info I had to that point in time. Glad some more info got posted. And I would never say never when it comes to machinemades. And any story can be made up! And Steve. My comment was made in the hopes of gaining more information on the marble. It appears to have worked. Your accusations are childish.

I know for a fact the so called Honey Onyx type came in a box marked Prima Agates. I believe it may have been a term for a variety of marbles through a timeline? Or maybe a general term. What does it appear to be on the paperwork? One type?

Thanks Mike, Sounds like a typical marble story. One someone would use if they wanted to get a decent price for a marble at a show.

I hope this was more than a stir the pot hit and run post. Sure would like to hear the story about where when etc. the marble came from.

I would imagine quite a few general stores with marbles have burnt over the years. I sure would need some very good documentation before believing any glob for sale on Ebay came from the Chicago fire.

Neat find, but be careful. Funny things can happen after you find one.

But we all know by now that if found at a dig site it does not necessarily prove anything. Especially if only one or two

but I am already tired of waiting.

I would bet it was not made in Ottawa at The Peltier Glass Co.
