VTAndrea Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I looked at and drooled over several marbles but didn't notice any description of condition, just the single photo. Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipocritter Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 That's Captain Marble's - Don Taylor's collection. Don was at the very first Amana Show. Lots of others too. He even had his own show in Ann Arbor, MI. Some Pretty Rare Stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatmacscott Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Don Taylor! That is a blast from the old days of Amana. I remember him leaving the show one weekend a tipping his cart over in the parking lot and marbles going everywhere. Many people have fond memories of CAPTAIN MARBLE! To bad it is the same weekend as the KC Marble Show. Oh well, absentee bids cut down on "auction fever taking control :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I want the pink opaques! Seriously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoak Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Talk about the ultimate frustration. I grew up 15 min from the auction. Went to Don's show in Ann Arbor years ago, and no way I can go to the auction. I have spoken with the auctioneers and did get a few extra pics big pink one has some damage and the clam also the two i got good pics of. Can leave absentee bid but no phone bids. Trying to see if brother in law will go bid but he knows nothing about marbles. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleecee Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 My husband Mark took a road trip to MI with our son and his gf to see a Red Wings game...son is a fan and has done this before. I was stuck at a conference all day for work and have a church obligation tomorrow, so I could not go...road trip would have been fun; nice break from this rotten winter! Mid conference...I am getting marble pix texted to me....turns out...hubby WENT to this auction to buy me some surprises!!! I am surprised for sure! Bill, he said a very large clambroth sold for 1,200. He has been reading my American Machine Made Marbles book...guess he's been studying in anticipation of this sale. As soon as I got home, I checked out the pix...told him NOT to tell me what he got, so I will be surprised tomorrow nite when he comes home...what a great hubby! Good thing for me he likes marbles and loves me. John, were you there? Did you spy Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
