winnie Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Stefan,the value of these European marbles,you have to decide yourself,there are few price comparisons,thats different with American marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleecee Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I just bought 6 euro sparklers..all in near mint condition, in sizes from 5/8ths to about 13/16ths for 60 bucks. They are valuable to folks who love them and although not as vivid in color as Akro sparklers, there is something about them that I just love!

jeeperman Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I agree, there is value there as the sparklers and swirls are becoming more sought after even here in the US. I am one whom searches for them. There are a few different styles of the Swirls other than the wire pulls and finding what I think are the good ones is rather difficult. I see a few in that lot that I would like to add to my collection. I will post three swirls each a different type and some of the best that I have found. A couple similar to some in that group. The second is a near 1 inch shooter and the only one like it i have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissmarble Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Can someone post photos of those Euro sparklers? Perhaps I have some myself. Jeroen Hi Jeroen Obviously these are "Euro-Sparkles". Probably not the nicest examples and I always thougt these were catseyes, but now I know better.

Steph Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Okay, i bid again and got it^^ I will post some pictures when tehy arrive I would ask the seller to package the steelies separately so they don't damage the glass marbles. Maybe remove them from the shipment altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manylittle Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 What are the values of the European sparklers we have seen here. I think I have a few but no absolutely nothing about pricing them. Does anyone have a rule of thumb? Are there things that make some sparklers more valuable than others?

clydetul62 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Euro machine are very hard to price. There isn't any definitive answer and no guide to go by. It's what ever you feel is right for you. Paul, I have the cousin to your's in the second pic. Mine though is white and baby blue. Sadly, not mint.

Stefan Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I guess the pricing of those is a thing of how attracting a marble is to you.... i would pay some money for those euro swirls up there^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Today is a good day! The marbles just arrived and i took some photos after is sorted them out. Take a look! There where some interesting looking cateyes with alternating ribbons and two with a cross-like ribbon. The Euro swirls are just great! The big one has 0,91". At last, i got this handmade blue-based swirl which has some damages... it has a small band a little inside the marble... hard to see on the pics... would you call that a submarine?

lstmmrbls Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 not a Submarine IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 That blue and orange just made me lose my breath when I opened the thumbnail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 not a Submarine IMO how do you call it then? just "swirl" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think many would call it a type of banded transparent and some may even throw out the transparent Indian name but I do not like that name. A submarine should have more like submerged panels although a few strands under the surface would certainly get a few sellers on ebay calling it a Submarine. It is a beauty for sure, too bad about the condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
