popculturizm Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 and the limeade and pop eyes - one of the pop-eyes has some gray in it Green-Yellow-white-with gray and clear glass is that Hybridization? not often do you get to find so many handmades in the wild - smallest Pee-wee 7/16th - there are 2 Indians and couple of transparent swirls (2 yellow one blueish) one green mica - and two well i don't know what to call them (pic above) this was pretty much the best of the lot condition wise - probably some other oddball ones here - just so nice to find things still pop up - fun is always in the hunt as one wise man once told me "If the Sun is up your already late" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 No kidding! Those last two in post #2 are awesome -- looks likke a single-pontil onionskin or cloud-type marble, and a wide single ribbon core -- or double ribbon? No matter -- all are hard to find!

popculturizm Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 here some more pics of the two odder handmades - I think this might be called a "split" core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Dang! You did it, pops! The first one is a double-ribbon core, not quite as rare as a single ribbon core, but almost. Ones like this, with two thin, wide ribbons and a nice twist, are hard to find. If it had three or four ribbons (and they'd be narrower) it would be a divided (your "split") core, and they're pretty common -- well, as far as antique mibs go, anyway. Although weirdly, if you find one with five or more ribbons, thay're rare, too . . . The second one is a single-pontil cloud, wortha-buncha-money-honey. How much would depend on the size and condition. Looks pretty clean. Does the pontil look faceted? How big are both of them? Jeez. SCOOP! Come look at this! From a flea market! Some people have all the luck. Mumble mumble mumble . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popculturizm Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'd say the "Cloud" is 5/8th inch and has a single polished Pontil - the split core is 7/16th and has a polished pontil as well - they both are in excellent condition for their age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Awesome find! This sort of thing keeps me hunting and hoping, or at least makes me wish I lived a little closer to Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
