Giant Onionskin, One Of The Largest Known To Exist?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have added another large 2-1/2 inch+ onionskin to my collection. This one is 2-17/32 inch in diameter. The weight is 348 grams. I like the color combination very much.

So now have 3 of those jumbo's. The biggest is 2-39/64 inch, the second largest is 2-19/32 inch, and this one 2-17/32 inch.

As always I look forward to get information about other giant onionskins.

All of Les Jones's collection is sold and none are left according to his wife. They were sold to many different collectors with some of the rarest sold later.Of all the years I knew Les he never mentioned nor displayed any super large onionskins.There is a possibility that he never brought them to a show though. As far as his wife had mentioned,I was one of the last she sold to.

I have bought a new record giant onionskin marble recently. My biggest was 2-39/64 inch and 381 gramms. This new one is 2-23/32 inch, (alsmost 2-3/4 inch) and 425 gramms. It is a single pontil with mica and 6 panels. which is very unusual for onionskins.
