sarab Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 need help with these please, although I know there are clay and clearies there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Not much of significance there. The yellow/blue/clear pelt MCS I'd pick out of that, and maybe the red and white one under it because it looks like it could possibly be a transitional.

aleecee Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Bottom marble far right, red white and blue could be something...need more pix. Marble at the bottom of the pix, looks red, white and black-Pelt rainbo. Glass is prob light blue or green if you back light it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarab Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 cheese: pics of blue/wht/yellow pelt and org/wht possible transitional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yep, it's a crease pontil transitional I believe, but it has damage. The pelt goes with those other multi-colors you had pictured in one of these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedidoll Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 the damage looks to me like an "as made"? which means it happened during production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 After taking a second look, you may be right. It does look like it has a melted flat spot look, rather than just a concentric hit like I first thought it was. Good call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarab Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 is it a keeper/seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedidoll Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 well,,,in my opinion,,,,,it would not bring as much money as if it didn't have the mark,,,but more than if it was a chip ,,,,just my opinion for any marble with an "as made" not just that one.

Steph Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think the Japanese transitionals bring much money these days. At least they're not in the same league as your Pelt NLRs or your Akro Popeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 No, they don't bring much, it's just one I would have plucked out because it's old, and worth more than a dime marble like a lot of them in the pic. It might be worth a couple dollars. That red/white/blue one almost out of the pic in the right corner, is that one of the popeyes in the other pics?

sarab Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 No, it's not, I didn't have that color combination in my popeye group. I'll try and remember to pull that one aside. I know with the continued sorting, the cream is starting to rise to the top, but there's more to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Sara welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of Marbles The " as made " on your Transitional is not all that uncommon i have at least one here with the identical mark and have seen several other posted to forums over the last year or so , Incidentally the term transitional basically refers to the time period when marble making was transforming from handmade to machine made. They are quite easily identifiable when you get a feel for them often the coloured glass will be bunched up with a little indented line in the glass as per your second picture i think you may find you have several more in your slag collection Happy collecting Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Alleynut Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hello Sara, in your first picture would it be possible to see the red white and blue marble at the bottom tight of the photo? from the angle provided it appears to be a Popeye and would be a little better than the standard color types, DB.

Steph Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Silver lining: it's educational to be able to see inside the classic marbles. Sometimes people get marble halves and post them for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
