jeroen Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hello, some time ago I bought a strange looking onionskin on ebay. The ebay photos were not so good, but it looked like it had a mushroom shape. When I got it hope and take a closer look it was indeed a mushroom shape onionskin/ end of day single pontil. The first photos of the marble are in daylight. I has unfortunately some damage. The second photos are taken under water, and now you can see its full beauty. As far as I have seen I know only of one other mushroom that belonged to Les Jones, and is pictured in the book end of day marbles from Stanley Block. I know blizzard onionskins are rare, and mica panels also, but how many mushroom type onionskins are there? I look forward to see other examples.

Here are some clouds from previous Morphy's (not mine) Hi Clyde, Nice examples of end/begin cane clouds, but I won't call them mushrooms, as they don't have that typical shape. The one from Les Jones was not an end/begin of the cane as I remember. Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
