bigjohn691500 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Stellar collection Ken, hey do you have a pic of that blue moon you had a couple years ago, that would make for a great thread as well,, these posted are top shelf no doubt,, take care,, bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Definitely Jabos. Sorry Ken. Hate to be the one to break it to you. Probably should give them to cubscouts. I can help you find some boys who would like them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoak Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Ken, Sorry but you can't convince me that those are Jabos, I don't see any lutz and that one in the second group looks like it has a pontil so they can,t be contemporaries either. Too bad, as brightly colored as those are they make me think of the circus (marbles). Hope I'll get to Indy show always fun to see your Spectacular Chrissies.

n2marbles Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes, I love Chrissy's and I love those marbles. Thanks for sharing Ken, the RED one's are unreal. Hope to see you all in Seattle this year. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey Ken, back in the old days on ebay, I used to enjoy watching what you were bidding on. It's no fun now--no drama! Did you get all of these at shows, private buys, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I agree watching bidders was fun. I have never found a good marble in the wild, darn it. I have always paid top dollar from all the reputable dealers. Also, Les Jones lived just 60 miles from me and he sometimes gave me first crack at nice Chrissies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAC-MIKE Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 KEN I DONT HAVE ANY TROUBLE FINDING CHRISSY'S IN THE WILD. HERES A GROUP I JUST BOUGHT FROM A EX-CAC EMPLOYEE IN CAMBRIDGE, OH. OF COURSE I BEAT HER UP AND STOLE THEM FROM HER. CAC-MIKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Love the large, clear based on the most. Beat up on a former employee, eh ? Lets see, even if she hired in at age 12 in 1930, she would be 91 years old today. You should be ashamed. Oh yes, in the first post, I loved the second from last mib - a very unusual combination.

MyMarbleBuddy Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nice looking! What size are the largest of the marbles shown in any or all of the entries above? Its hard to figure out ... even assuming all the guineas are pretty small... cuz they usually are, right? Are some of the bigger mibs shown up around an inch? It would be really helpful to see some sizes along with the pics. Thanks, Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 The largest one I have pictured is .71 inch which is way below an inch. In my opinion, VERY few Christensen Agates are 3/4 inch and Very rarely are they any larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
