orbboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 There was one for sale somewhere in the last year or so. I remember seeing it and thinking "holy $#!* that's going to sell for silly money". Can't remember what was in it? Or who was offering it though?

Jill Marie Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 In the Kansas City Toy and Miniature Museum are two sulphides like what is being talked about. A fish with colored glass ribbons like an old swirl and the other is like an onion skin with a hen sitting in it. look like old marbles to me. I need to go see them!

JVVmarbles Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Can someone post pics of those marbles at the KC toy museum? I've never seen an original sulphide with outer decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manddrakes Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Leroy, please keep posting. Your remarks are very helpful to us who do not have "closed minds". We know that your experience is valuable and your wouldn't post something you're not sure of. In regards to Boyd Miller's caged bird - Boyd has not made marbles in at least 4 years and probably never will again. That's the sad part. He needs our prayers. Edna I agree! Leroy has reconditioned some of the rarest marbles out there. Not that one want to recondition a rare marble, but sometimes it was to be done.
