JVVmarbles Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hello everyone! I'm looking for more info and pics on a marble sold through a Running Rabbit auction years ago. It's a large single pontil mist Lutz. Here's the only pic I could find of this marble, it's a group photo of the best marbles from that RR auction. I hope someone can help me out.

david Chamberlain Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Don't you just love those RR postcards. I have something like 25 different ones. I think people are going to have difficulty saying anything about this marble. Without your intro. info. re. it I'd have figured it to be a Vacor interloper from the late 1980s. You sure you aren't putting us on and did some trick photography and snuck this one into the postcard? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I've ever seen. Can you maybe post scans of your RR postcards here? I'm sure a lot of people want to see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoak Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Jeroen, I had the oportunity to see and hold a 2"+ single pontil green mist lutz about 8 years ago . I don't think it was the one that Danny sold in his auction but the purchase price was $10k. The collector that had it has since then sold his collection so don't know where it is now. That is the only big single pontil one I have seen. I have seen several two pontil over an inch, but they are rare. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Buymarbles.com is Craig Snider with Kansas City Marble Club and is on the boards periodically. Did you email him? He keeps a lot of marble related information so he might have the specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spara50 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I don't have any more info on the auction. However, I did have a collector bring one of these to the appraisal table a few years back at the Kansas City Marble Show. It was 1 1/2 or a bit larger. It was mint BUT had an internal fracture that looked to be there from manufacture. I am pretty sure she wanted 4 or 5 thousand for it.

david Chamberlain Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hard to say when I'll be uploading pics of any kind. Still hassling with the outfit that sold me my HP Color LaserJet 4 in 1 over various issues least of which was snowing me re. the color capacity of cartridges.
