hdesousa Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Without being able to read the signature, I would guess Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmuehlba Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 well I got an email from John Davis and what I have is a marble from the Margaret L Davis collection Mike, I believe that is the first off cane marble I made from a cane that was used in the first Margaret L Davis marble collection. A total of 3 marbles made, One for the collection, one for myself and the first off cane marble which I think you have. I just can't remember it being 2". In any case, thanks for the quick reply. John davisglass http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mmuehlba/library/John%20Davis%20%20first%20off%20cane%20marble I still now have to figure out how I got it ?? does any one have any pictures of the first Margaret L Davis marble collection I did a little searching but all I could find out is that they were sold out .

sissydear Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Bo Stiff had one (Margaret Davis set). His entire collection was stolen. You possibly bought it from the thief or someone the thief sold it to. I can't imagine anyone breaking up the set, but anybody with a set could have broken up their set. I'd never break up mine, but who knows what will happen to it when I'm dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
