lifeisgood81 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Anyone ever see anyone of these? I am a sucker for marble related items. What kind of marble is that? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=220371785733 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=280322478118 Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremarbles4me Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That looks like a agate to me. If you had planned on bidding on those items you should not have posted the link here. LOL good luck Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisgood81 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Still not sure if I want to bid or not. I have never bid on anything overseas, or as the seller stated, he does ship "over the pond". Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatmacscott Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Those are really neat items Lisa. I think they were used to button lady's shoes when shoes had buttons. :Party_fest30: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jormibnut Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Those are really neat items Lisa. I think they were used to button lady's shoes when shoes had buttons. :Party_fest30: Those are both exceptionally nice buttonhooks with faceted stone agates. Most of the ones that you see just have a claw holding the marble. Figural ones are much more rare. You used them on the old shoes by slipping the hook through the eye of the shoe, hooking it around the button, and pulling the button back through the eye. Damn .......I'm showing my age.
