CallBob Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 To me, the one I posted looks cleaner than yours. Cleaner and more neatly executed. But still related. So your blind as a bat also .. nice blue trees you got here ..that's true and a good stick figure as a boatsman ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallBob Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hey Steph, I guess I probably did have reserves about discussing the fine points of how to tell when a marble isn't what the general marble community refers to as a "Scenic China." And, yes... For those reasons... But hey... We can't keep everything secret, either. This marble isn't fake... It's a real marble!! It's china (I presume) and it has a scenic scene painted on it... But, it sure isn't anything near what I would refer to as a "Scenic China..." Bob, you can call it a scenic china, you can call it a Christmas Miracle, or you could call it George... You can ask Bob, you can ask Hansel, you can ask Paul Baumann (I've got his number around here, somewhere...) But, I'll tell ya, I sure as hell am glad I'm NOT the one with more than 25 bucks in it. 'Sorry, man.... But, there's just no way to wish it any different. My god .. another jackass steps up and runs off at the mouth without any brains loaded ...Your so far off and jealous .. You are nobody and never will be ..so shut your mouth broad and maybe i won't come over for a visit..women !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Bob, please don't speak to Sue that way. Even if you don't appreciate her knowledge, which is considerable, you're on very thin ice talking to her that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wow..... I guess Bob tells time the way he sees marbles... Unless NY has changed time zones in the last 24 hours... another jackass steps up and runs off at the mouth without any brains loaded ...Your so far off and jealous .. Honey... i don't need to be jealous... Check the reference credits on some of your books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well, here is a comparison with a marble Sue posted once. Not a scenic obviously. But a good way to contrast the craftsmanship in the pinwheel design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBlock Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 These have been popping up on Ebay intermittently for a few years now, about as long as those newer sulphides (santa, etc). Maybe they weren't made yesterday, but I would be very surprised if it turned out they were even half the age of traditional scenics. In any event, I would not buy one for my collection, and I've told that to anyone who has asked me. I thought I made my opinion clear earlier in this thread, but maybe not in so many words.
