FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Comming home from the marble run at Sammy's,I accidently found this 2&7/16+ onionskin. End of day,unpaneled,faceted pontil. For the handmade people,would you consider it a shrunken core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hello, A very nice marble! I would call it shrunken core, allthough mildly shrunken;-) I have an 12 lobed with exact the same color combination. It has the few red spots also. it is just over 2-3/8 inch. See the photo. They could be from the same maker. Is your onionskin perhaps for sale, or trade? I would love it to have a similar onionskin in my collection. They would make a nice pair. Regards, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skycollect Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I am interested as well, we can have a good ole fashioned biddin war! Nice find!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Id say it is from the same "house",Jeroen.Looks identical as far as color,and stretch. Im with you too on the shrunken core,,,it is,just not an extreme. There could be a bidding war,with as many people that have sent me messages. Maybe I could distract you with this little thing I found today. Im thinking I feel lucky,with the marble finds in the last few days.Might get some lottery tickets! over 3/4.

Bocci Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Those fisher jewel trays are always a fun find. Griff, Is that marble a vintage peltier? or a contract run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Vintage peltier,all the way.Killer pattern. Always liked the jewel trays too.These are plane jane(no markings on the bottom)Missing the bottom steel cap on the one. Oh yeah,Im in the market for a bottom cap for a jewel tray!----LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTAndrea Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 All this interest in what Griff is showing points out that there aren't many really cool marbles up for bid on ebay anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
