Hi all well I have another bottle I got yesterday I have two others I have had a long time almost when I first started so I put in my marbles and put in a cabinet . So now I have a red one but was hopeing some one knows what they are call , they are all hand blown with pontail marks on the top dome . they are also what is called footed and have a cork to hole in what is stored . so what are they call every time I see one I buy it . Help Mike now my new one in red . and the worse thing about a rear load cabinet is most things get put in and forgot about for years . Mike what is the footed bottle called a footed specimen bottle ?? HELP Mike

well to start thing off I lost another very good friend the other day so tomorrow is the wake just a bit down as we were friends since almost out of high school so Jan I headed out to hit a few antiques stores , well got there and sure enough they were closing / moving and not much there , nothing to find but when we were heading out I am all ways partial to the tall lighter cabinets that rotate even though I have way to many but never enough so I asked is that cabinet for sale ? well he said yes just more I would not have to move . I said how much and with out any hesitation he said $15.00 and I would have to take all the cars .!!! I almost fell over , jan gave me the look like not another . and even faster than he said $15.00 Jan said it will never fit in the car . so when loading it on a cart I say even more cars and said since I got all these how much for every thing and he said another $10.00 . So all I need now is some one to buy al;l the cars and of course I have another project as I have to fix the base . just down the road was another store also closing / moving . got an amethyst mica very wird but I was feeling so good I spun the wheel . Mike now the mica well I think the pontil is called twisted . and only a few pices of mica .

http://www.ebay.com/...=item35bc363d95 sold OR ?? Mike

M I K E

Very interesting on how it was constructed in side , best thing about damaged stuff it lets us see more . Very interesting , wonder if the new ones being made are the same inside ?? If any one goes to the museum store and drops one be sure to take a picture. Mike

Well I know Akro never made them on purpose I was trying to get across was that I think some one put in a box or was a gift from an employee who also gave a gift box as it was with some many marbles that would have been all together in a box and this was also added in or ? . As I do not think it was just some thing bought separate or found alone had to have some kind of close connection to the plant . For sure not a digger but then never say never. I bet kids have been sneaking in at night since day 1 ?? . but what ever it is , now just in a cabinet . Mike http://smg.photobuck.../257%20marbles/

Hi Rich I can almost feel your excitement so this should get you going some more . and as usual AH there just cats . Mike

Just thought I would post my big mass agate between 1 1/4 and 1 5/16 a little out of round and found whit a lot of others I think it might have just been in a 300 gift box at one time >> a few pics so here is a link . http://smg.photobuck...0%20to%201x250/ I won this in an ebay auction of 257 marbles here is a link below of what it came with . http://smg.photobuck.../257%20marbles/ sold the bag and a few others but save all the moss agates ade's SO did these get big and just put in Boxes ?? this for sure is no dug marble . Mike

no finger holes just a few small chips . or if I knew more about finger holes ? but no holes except chips . Mike

well I just had to have it is a big 2 1/16 in size and has a few signs of use . any ideas what it might be from or was made for . I got it off the bay . View item VINTAGE LARGE GREEN MARBLE OR PAPERWEIGHT APPROXIMATLEY 2 INCHES ESTATE ITEM It is so different or at least I thought so when taking some pics it looks so different depending on what is behind the marble . I have been playing and took a few pics . so any ideas ?? Mike here is a akro in front and then just behind it makes the whole marble darker . now behind it is very round and for sure not hand made as there are no signs of that , so where are they from a ?? Mike

well be sure to post a link if listed . Mike

well I have one and there is a crack but these are hard to find . Listed on the bay if any interest . Mike http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=110861318277 http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=110861318277 http://www.myeasypic...is.php?i=982587 http://www.myeasypic...is.php?i=982587

nice . and then even nicer . great find in a lot . Mike

well I was out today to look at marbles I was send a few pics and saw a hand made and a Christensen so I thought it was worth the 15 mile trip well 30 round trip and in rush hour in Milwaukee but was worth it The board I passed on because of the mold plus I have one like it . here are the pics I had to look at . well there all soaking now except the one that went straight to the chipped box . there are at least 3 Christensen Akro and even an early Akro ace cork in moonie glass . the big bennington was not in the pics . will post the good stuff after a good soaking . Mike $30.00 plus 30 miles and soda's and donuts as I had my Grandson Christian along as we even scrap and tear apart and rummage together. Samuel had to stay with Jan as he had home work . these are junk pile well I guess marbles have been getting polished a long time ago as these have been sitting for sure since the 60's all for now but when I saw that the hand made was polished it just me thinking how it was a special marble or ??? but for sure just sitting in a coffee can over 50 years for sure . Mike

hard to find , is the clasp inside ? there is a guy close to you that had some redone if fluorescent glass with the old Akro agate molds got them from Guernsey Glass CO Harold Bennett I got my wild colored color slag from Hardy and it is a Bennett piece . They sold all the akro molds to some one that is using the fluorescent glass . Mike http://www.opensalts.net/guernsey.pdf ... very hard to find with the power still in them . Mike

All fixed with marbles . Mike would like to figure out how to post the slide show in this topic ?? Mike http://smg.photobuck...Joseph%20coats/
