Road Dog Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Bought some boulders at the Flea and this was in the bunch. Never seen anything like it. It has an Ace type base with red and green cork. It is 1" in diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks more like a fold than a cork to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 That was my first impression too but then I convinced myself that I saw some wrap to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's a Cork. It wraps twice around. It is Auger in construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Moving this to the main forum. Wonder if Jess has seen one. I had also convinced myself I saw some of the auguring when I looked at the first views long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Here's the south pole of the marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 That is a cool marble! 1" I think I have one that is similar in construction, probably 11/16" and with an orange cork in that darker ace type base, I'll try and get some pics when I get home tonight. Nice find- I need to get back out to fleas and garages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Whoops, it is 5/8" This is the only one like this that I have and it looks like it has just the orange. I like being able to see just the outer edge of the cork, with kind of an outline at the poles. Very cool marble Road Dog, any plans on selling it?

Road Dog Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I used to collect a lot of Akro. Thought I used to have a black and orange with this base. I'll eventually sell it as I only collect Slags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
