Marblesteve Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 In 1998 at the Buckeye Show in Columbus, I purchased this contemporary "sulfide" in amber glass. It is only 1/2" in diameter, the smallest I have seen. The front has a person's face or mask while the reverse says "Carol Ann." Has anyone seen one similar, or does anyone have any information about this marble or who might have made it? Thanks. Marblesteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marblesteve Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 OK. It looks as if I have a starting place now. Thanks for the information. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 well Steve I forgot about that but I still have one more . but is is 5/8 may be I will sent out to Leroy to polish down smaller . glad Ray is getting some recognition . he made me an angel once and I said I would never sell it so I put it in one of my gum ball machines . I get to think about it a lot as it is in the dinning room Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marblesteve Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have never seen the airplane before, but that is a great lead. Now, I hate to ask this, but is Ray still with us? I lost contact in the last ten years, and so many of my marbles buddies have left us (and are leaving us). It saddens me greatly. I hate to ask...

psia-antique Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ray is alive and well. I think he is a member here. He is on fb for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Steve, like they said, could very well be Rays sulphides because they look real sililiar to the ones i have but mine are bigger. I have two and one is the crucifix cross and the other is a commemorative suplhide that Ray done for Guy Gregg when he was still with us which has his initials in it G.G. Ray has done some fantastic works of art. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raynsandy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sorry not mine, looks like Carol Ann might be the artist, just a guess. I have made some real tiny sulphides as small as 3/8 with a sail boat. There was a set I made under 1/2 inch that included: a truck, car, boat, airplane and person.
