MrsMopar Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 IF it is a newer handmade, that mark/pontil could be from something called a punty. http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861735862/punty.html Still all gorgeous marbles ya got there. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My guess would also have been contemp. It's sorta a dark mib. Larger brighter pix could help, maybe? Maybe one of the pontil? If anyone else is leaning toward contemp but if no one recognizes it for sure, you might give it a try at glasswizards.yuku.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My immediate thought was a large Vacor Guinea or from the House of Marbles. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMarbleBuddy Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My immediate thought was a large Vacor Guinea or from the House of Marbles. David I bought that lot on e-bay yesterday ... I was curious about a few of the marbles. I assume that big one is contemporary, but will gladly post more pictures when it arrives, since it has caught the attention of a number of us. I was quite happy to see someone start a thread about it. Many Thanks! Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Looks like a fun bunch of marbles to go through - might be some keepers in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hope the person ships it safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMarbleBuddy Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Looks like a fun bunch of marbles to go through - might be some keepers in there... Yup. Thanks. Even better, the seller said she had some other "signed contemporary" marbles she was going to "throw in". So I'm eager to see the lot of them!

venwood Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Was going to buy but spent all my marble money on another lot and didn't want to have to borrow for it. That was a nice group.Here's the one I picked up. Thanks for all responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMarbleBuddy Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yup! I saw that lot, too. It was really attractive to me, especially as I really like those Big Alleys, and often bid on lots with them. There are some nice looking mibs in that lot! Congrats on your bid!
