ann Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 If there is, this isn't one of them. In My Humble Opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Didn't say I didn't like it! It just ain't no sparkler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I've never checked these people out before. Are they mostly dealing with pretty expensive marbles? I'm asking because I was just looking at their info about 'bid increments'. In the 'stratosphere' brackets, they seem reasonable. But the $25 increment for $0.00 - $499.99 seems a little 'awkward' at the lower end of that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Good question Steph. Why not? And if so would they look different than this (in imagination)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I doubt very very much that the sparkler types were made with the same feeder system that spun the corkscrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Bob, yes, mostly high end stuff. That1, thanks for humoring me! After I posted this, I finally read the description and so I see the marble has a transparent green base, but just looking at the photo it looks like a twisty sparkler to me. I cannot imagine what the company name was for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I doubt very very much that the sparkler types were made with the same feeder system that spun the corkscrews. Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. but if you think of putting a spin on Akro patches, they could look like corks (as far as color combos go) Ah well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have a few crazy corks like this variety, mostly bought from Alan back-in-the-day, with different colors. Probably made 3:00 in the morning during a color change. Or at least that would be my guess. I also doubt very much they would have tried the spinner cup with the sparkler line, but if they did, (1) I want to have one, and (2) I'd expect to see -- at a minimum -- the five main sparkler colors, plus wispy white, all very obviously in a transparent colorless base. I don't see any of that here, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
