More In The Wild A Few Christensen And A Polished Hand Made

[mmuehlba]

well I was out today to look at marbles I was send a few pics and saw a hand made and a Christensen so I thought it was worth the 15 mile trip well 30 round trip and in rush hour in Milwaukee but was worth it The board I passed on because of the mold plus I have one like it .

here are the pics I had to look at .

well there all soaking now except the one that went straight to the chipped box .

there are at least 3 Christensen Akro and even an early Akro ace cork in moonie glass . the big bennington was not in the pics . will post the good stuff after a good soaking . Mike

$30.00 plus 30 miles and soda's and donuts as I had my Grandson Christian along as we even scrap and tear apart and rummage together. Samuel had to stay with Jan as he had home work .

these are junk pile

well I guess marbles have been getting polished a long time ago as these have been sitting for sure since the 60's

all for now but when I saw that the hand made was polished it just me thinking how it was a special marble or ??? but for sure just sitting in a coffee can over 50 years for sure . Mike

What is a Christensen Akro?

[I'llhavethat1]

What is it about the handmade that makes you think polished?

[MARBLEMISER]

Yeah, what is it aboul the hand made??

It looks like the original surface to me..

There's a small dimple near the pontil, that

would have been gone if it has been polished??

Nice find BTW
