Nice Avatar.

We basically agree on what makes a JC or an onionskin. We are in complete disagreement that any of theses marbles were made in England(English Style). Myself and many others(I think most) just believe these bright color types were mainly shipped to Great Britain from Germany as they preferred those types for the Game boards etc.

So what is the difference between a JC and an Onionskin if it is not the layer of background glass under the colored glass of an onionskin and no background glass on a JC if they both have continuous threads. It is easy to see the reactive edges on some of the colors of the onionskins. I had never heard of the black edge definition.

It is my understanding Clyde that the Onioskin was called that because while slightly resembling an onion the colors were a skin on another color. Usually white sometimes yellow or blue. Occasionally the thin glass threads are broken on JCs and they will not go pole to pole. Please do not get me started on the absolutely ridiculous End of Day name that now means what? any onionskin with even one broken thread. And when I started collecting German Handmade Clowns, were marbles with large rounded color spots that did not stretch pole to pole. Clouds were marbles where the color layer looked like a hot air ballon inside the marble touching only one pole. And that is all I have to say since here I am playing the stupid name game and now I feel dirty.

Here sre a few from the new display.

It did used to be known as The Ukraine. saying it today is wrong and does rankle many Ukrainians. Here you go folks, this ought to get you going. http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html#errors

Any person publicly writes or publishes anything not expecting some or even many folks to not like it or disagree isn't living in the real world. It is sad so many folks have disappeared, stopped posting, or giving their advice or opinions about our great hobby because others disagree with their opinions. Heck lots of folks even take someone disagreeing with their opinion about things as a personal attack. Sad, very sad, in my opinion. Rudeness is another subject.

Looks like a small flip back on the end of a swirls single stream, but I do see why Corkscrew would be a possibilty?

Beautiful marble, but It does look like there is no background color on the bands so that would make it a Josephs Coat would it not??

Jereon, you probably shouldn't be (LOL)

The largest I have heard of was a hair under 3 inches. I owned one a hair under 2"

They made many color marbles. I believe it would be very easy for remnants of previously used colors to show up at a later time. And at times I can easily imagine a large amount of any color previously used showing up as the tanks are not scrubbed clean. I hazard to say the marble you show may be a acceptable accident?

Here is that Green Brick I just got. Very nice transparent base.

Spectacular marble Clyde. Now that is a real Moss Agate by MFC

That is a Staple here in a city that is over 25% Asian. Love the stuff. I also like the hot varieties. Gonna have to check the dollar store for some Luv Yu!

Kevin, I will be at the show, see you there.

A deal is a deal, heck Ann, don't be so surprised. I once sold someone that cared for me even less than you do, a nice Blue Galaxy for $500

Are you suggesting these are duplicates. .

Found a great deal on a flight. Gonna fly in and out the day of the show. Anyone looking for anything in the way of machine mades.

Sure will!

Is it really a black lining or the transparent glass that often appears between different colored glass types in marbles???????

Very nice, I really like the depth of the cabinet

A very special box for sure
