kbobam Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 They're pretty cool. Any idea if any of our marble-makers did the eyes for some of these? The eyes in these two look a lot like your avatar marble! ( : (I looked at some more owl auctions, and the shipping in the one you mentioned is the least expensive by a huge margin. More than reasonable for all that iron.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdesousa Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 The seller says this ad is from the 1910's. That may give you some idea who might not have made the marbles: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1910s-AD-Owl-Andirons-1775-Ball-Cast-Iron-Wrought-Black-Finish-Hotpoint-Vacuum-/151129178619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
