sclsu Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I am at a store that is selling some hand painted clay marbles said to be from this company. Does anyone know of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Said to date between 1880's & 1937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Really good chance they're bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Do they look like anything in this thread? http://marbleconnection.com/topic/6908-mostly-pix-fake-chinas-tennesseeatlanta-porcelains/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Darn ... lots of missing pictures in that thread and the linked threads. Need to update. Still likely fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah probably. They kinda look like the chinas, but with better detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Do they feel heavier than ordinary clay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Atlanta Porcelains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Or "Tennessee River" ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 The accompanying paper says the company was in Robbins Tennessee and that these marbles may have been made in the 20's when their business was struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 A Southern Clay Manufacturing Company did exist, but I'll guess someone just came up with another story to explain the same old Tennessee/Atlanta Porcelain ruse. Of course photographs could possibly change minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 They're BAAAAACK! Quote This auction is for a rare Robbins, Tennessee Southern Clay Manufacturing Company hand painted clay marble which dates from 1880 to 1937. This clay marble features a mother duck swimming with her ducklings under the sun! You can find historical information about these Robbins, Tennessee Southern Clay Maufacturing Company clay marbles by searching online. This auction is for 1 marble. You can buy additional Robins County, Tennessee clay marbles in my other auctions. This antique marble is quite rare and I am almost sold out of these marbles. Buyer pays $5 for shipping in the US or $20 for shipping if international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
