Out Of State Auction

[William Marbles]

Hello!!

I won a auction in another state, and today they came.

Thought I would post them to see what everyone has to say about them.

I have all the seam's facing down so you can't see them.

And, are you ready, I had to pay an outrageous buyers premium of.......

2% yeah; you read right.. 2%

Thanks and Enjoy!!

neat opalescent glass. might be Champions

[Steph]

I wondered about Champion. 3/4" would make that less likely, right?

[lstmmrbls]

It would, Missed that. Not seeing any hand gathering. But some of the pelt solids are pretty swirly

3/4"? Some blue swirls and bubbles inside? Glowing orange-ish moonie base? Christensen Agate?

thanks

[William Marbles]

I was thinking that too, Dan. I've owned the CA Moons and these looks just like them. Let see what others have to say, maybe pictures???

[Ric]

I have a big one, and have seen quite a few more, that came out of the ground at Ottawa and look very similar to yours. In fact, I'd say they're probably the same. I'll try to get a pic later.

[William Marbles]

Cool Ric, that might help.

I got these at Brookville, IN. Here's a pic with the flash enabled. Bottom row, are the worst ones. Bottom Row, last one on the right is one I already had sitting in my CA display.

All are facing up with any kind of crease or seam or whatever facing up.

Unless they were dug I doubt very much they were sold by the company that advertised "The Most Perfectly Formed Marbles" There are some examples very similar to these that came out of the ground at Peltier

[Chuck G]

William, these are really neat and pretty marbles from every angle. In this tower shot are two bigger marbles in the center that are real similiar. A jar of these came from an auction that were lunch box marbles from a past employee at the pelt factory. Now wheather these were actually made by peltier is another story, like we all know that marbles came from one company to another. So far unless someone comes up with more info on these i call the pelt "Purple Togas" and these look like the ones you posted. Let everyone decide on their own on this one of who made them.

I would have to agree.

Now I can't say which company made them, but whoever did, they "appear" to be dug marbles.

thanks

[William Marbles]

Thanks Chuck!!! Purple Toga, I like that name!!

Yeah, they do have some dirt on some of them, I'd say they was/were dug, or kids where being kids with them.
