Al Oregon Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Our local Museum has part of my collection for a couple months (rotating local collections) and I spent some time yesterday looking at folks' marbles and telling them what they have. This large amber slag came rolling in and I really had no idea on value so I snapped a couple pics and told them I'd ask on the boards. It is 1 & 27/32 inches in size and there is one tiny chip (didn't show up in pics that I took). I assume it is MFC. I'd like to give them a rough value range if they should sell it. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I once sold one just a hair under 2 inches with a few moons for 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplarhead Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Al: I have sold one in that size for as low as $35 on Ebay . Prices may be a little higher but not in the range Galen quoted. My guess is $60-75. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Sorry about that Don, Let me know if you get any more that large or larger close or mint and I will at least double your number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks all. I passed the basic info on to the gentleman and found out that I was wrong in my assumption that he wanted to sell it now. It's a family thing so, for now, he plans to keep it.

Steph Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 A giant MFC is a wonderful heirloom. I trust you shared the importance of the marble in the history of American marble making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
