Steph Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Someone posted on my pic of Berry Pinks that they had dug some at Paden City. I sort of remember that now. I just can't seem to get my brain around it. So maybe 1960's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Imperial marbles are not older than early 70s,right? i think some patches that i find here are older than that and those are a mystery for me. Also interested how the stripes opaque and transparant were made,a bit of a puzzle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 "Imperial marbles are not older than early 70s,right?" Right. Doh. But I think I'm picturing the right ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm confident Carl Fisher, the clay marble whiz, could reverse engineer how striped opaques were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Can a certain unnamed, self proclaimed, marble guru create a last run, batch of marbles that are more collectable and more desirable than any other last batch of marbles made until the next last run of marbles which will be rarer and even more collectable ever made? That to me is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 What kind of Bird lives in a bird cage marble? Why are Indians, Indians since they are not from India nor did American Indians play with them? Does a Gooseberry make a sweet pie? Why did akro make so many corkscrews and never produced a single bottle of wine? How far can a Cro fly with a marble in it's beak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Talked with Carl. I know how the glass lays on top of each half opposite sides but the mechanical engineering to make that happen is even a mystery to mechanical engineers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Is that an African Cro or a European Cro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatmacscott Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's a North American Spotted black on black, Ohio Cro. The African cro's beak is to tight to hold a marble and the European Cro never leaves Bulgaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why are Indians, Indians since they are not from India nor did American Indians play with them? And who said that some were made in the USA? I keep seeing that in some books, but without proof to go with it. Excavated somewhere? Or is that a bunch of hooey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I've always wondered why Peltier Golden Rebel and Blue Galaxy marbles are so uncommon. They have fantastic eye appeal. Kids must have loved them, so one would expect the company to have produced a lot more. Were they made late in the NLR line? Were they difficult to produce? Expensive?

FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 How did akro patches,dug at Sisterville,get misidentified as alley? Why are "St Mary cat eyes" called that,when they were also produced in Paden city? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?
