akronmarbles Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Not sure what to call this type. SIze is about 1.5". Core is transparent blue and looks lobed form the ends. Has a bit of mica. Pontil is ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looks fairly modern to me or it could jsut be the parallel lines that would make me think it was mechanically polished. Mica looks nifty, but some of those colors I have not seen in an older handmade yet,so I assume it is much newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopacki Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 well I think more zoom out but looks looks a ground pontil so I would think a joseph's coat with mica . Mike pair 1.450 and 1.270 47S.JPG Mike, I have never seen these colors in a Josephs coat, not saying they don't come with these colors but I've never seen them. I know there are a few sellers on Ebay that sell new marbles and say for example "Onion skin" ? to cover their butt and most of these sellers will not take returns, so if this marble was purchased off of Ebay I'd have to say it is new handmade. IMHO All my best ...... Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I am almost sure it is a modern marble. But a very nice one. Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I suspect that is a Scott Patrick marble, made at Brian Gram's studio when Scott recently visited & worked there. Who ever made it did a very nice job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 well after a while thinking and looking I think Brian knows who made the marble ?? and there are most likely only a few artist that would do cane marbles and leave the pontils and then grind it . So did he graduate to larger marbles ?/ I have a guess on who it might be . will get the ones I have together a post pictures . here are a few of his beads . can not remember if Brian has the small marble machine that makes marbles but I think he does . So who made it first ?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdesousa Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Reminds me (similar colors) of Paul Baumann's "Peacock Lutz" (Pg.78 4th ed of his book, or front cover of the 3rd ed). So what's the 'rest of the story'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 well I have a few of Christopher Robinson marbles he loves making cane marbles and leaves the pontil some he grinds . I do not know if he went bigger but has the talent to do so and loves to grind the pontil always one end the other is finished with the torch . I have see some not ground at all . I always buy a marble or two when I am at a show he is selling at . I love the mag light indian from him . But not saying this marble is his but if so I will own one close .
