m!b$ Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is it for real? Sorta looks like a croquet ball, but too small. Marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 There are miniture croquet sets and then there are wooden nickels. Even if it is for real I just can't give much credence to a wooden marble. Like, huh? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 David, I've seen an historical reference to wooden marbles. I think it might have been at Akronmarbles.com. They sure would have been at a disadvantage if there were any real agates in the game! 'course this one in this auction is too big for a regular game so I would have a hard time labelling it as a marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have a beautiful wooden ball that's laminated like that.. But, more layers and colors... It's probably 3" or so... Carpet ball size. I have no idea what or why it is!!! It may simply have been a woodworking challenge to get it round?? It's in much better shape and doesn't look as old... But, I could change that by tossing it out in the yard until spring!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
