And marble collectors use of the term Lutz has been a misnomer from the beginning. And using it for the aventurine and goldstones in modern marbles is also a misnomer. In the reference below One of the thin threads was often an aventurine type of glass. Is this where the mis use began? Lutz glass was made by Nicolas Lutz working at the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company from 1870 to 1888. He made delicate and intricate threaded glass of several colors. Lutz glass was thin and had twisted stripes of colors. Similar wares made by other makers are now known by the generic name Lutz. Some also believe it was derived as a mis use of this glass name http://loetz.com/

Looks a lot like an Alley. and IMO, the stories are stories,interesting, but just that until some proof shows up. So we need you to keep at it!!

And i believe the first is a Jabo. And I hope Ron isn't going to do a hit and run

that is very interesting, especially since Albrights big selling point was they were the cheapest glass marbles on the market in bulk! I wonder who else ws selling them marbles. in 31-33

Freaking Fantastic!!! I think you need to keep showing those boxes!!!!! I bought another roll of duct tape to keep my skull together after you keep blowing my head apart!!!!!!!

never seen a 1" swirl that resembled a Ravenswood in colors usually associated with them. And really need some more info on hand gathering at Ravenswood and what kind of marbles they were. I have read some wild stories by some old men but never seen any proof at all about the first couple years of production. Can you share. Never seen any handgathered marbles from any "Ravenswood" dig sites. Did you find some literature about the original factory site(also still in question)as to what was produced and how???? Sounds like some really interesting informqation that many would like to hear!!!!

Hansel keep showing those boxes and I am finding it less and less odd. I definitely think that Gropper box is a backfill or do I now have to believe they were making Rainbos in 30-31????? Hansel already has be all twisted up with the Primas, please take it easy on me with this Rainbo National Line deal, my brain is breaking(LOL)

Simpson Marble Vender should be your next hunt. Oppps I see you have already been on the hunt!!!!!

I find it very odd that those marbles are in a National Box?? I also notice some sort of liner in the bottom. is that a usual part of those boxes, or just some added cardboard for support?

They really needed to do a little research before writing that auction description. Just more BS from a company that should be doing a much better job at such things

never ever ever ever click on a link in an email from someone you do not know. Your toenails may now fall off and large patches of your hair may turn green.Now thats a Bad virus infection(LOL)

Shooting a steelie into one of our rings usually resulted in a beat down. Never ever was a steelie allowed near our marbles.

New marble IMO.

I have seen that rough ground pontil on a lot of new marbles

275 dollars for a piece of junk. 60 bids, that is just crazy!

5 pic shows twistoff from punty where is the seam folks http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ANTIQUE-CHRISTENSEN-AGATE-CO-GUINEA-MARBLE-LQQK-SUPER-RARE-/131156652080?pt=Marbles&hash=item1e898bb030

One thing they are not, And that is Champion Co. or Marble King Co. marbles. It can be confusing for many. Look how many folks still call some Peltiers, Champion Jrs.

That cup mechanism was on a geared hinge system that allowed it to tilt forward to drop the marble on the rollers then spring back. (notice the spring to soften the blow as it snapped bac)k. I really would have loved to see that thing churning out marbles at a torrid pace. I bet it was poetry in motion.

Because making corkscrews was an extremely difficult task with very complicated machinery, multiple tanks and a complicated feeding system.. Much more than the hole in the bottom of a tank letting glass flow directly into the shear mechanism that drops the globs on the rollers used at Jabo today. WE are proably talking 7 figures to build everything needed to make proper corkscrews the way Akro did it. coloring by Jeff Hale

Interestingly new?

So are we suggesting back filled as the reason for non played with,.Because that box(50 ct)was obviously opened and closed dozens if not hundreds of times

UAE Thats freaking perfect!!!! Do pork products(there isn't one bad one)have the UAE banner(LOL)

She used a 69 and a 70 Barracuda. Nice job Stacy. I was in a rollover in a Barracuda in my younger years, WHAT A RIDE that was!!
