orbboy Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Listing tonight but want a proper name. I was thinking simply Rare Coloured Early Onionskin. Are there any other applications that should be added? E.O.D?? Cloud?? Would using the term "OXBLOOD" to describe the red be ok. I would add the " " of course. Any input would be great.

Alan Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I regret that due to abuse by other board members, unchecked by a mod who simply watches it and allows it to continue, I have decided to remove this ID choose to content. While Moderators may choose to humor abuse, I will not.I regret that others will not benefit from it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 There is really nothing going on in the middle of this marble. No core of any kind really, just bubbles. The colours are just under the surface and are veneered pretty much. Here are a couple of backlit pics if they help. There is an example of this type on this site. http://antiquemarbles.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm going to throw this out there...couldn't this be one of those, kinda wobbly, contemporary fakes rolling around? I would like to see the flow of colored ribbons less jittery, even for a one off. This, but I should point out, I have many Germans, but don't go after them and am not really focusing on them at this time. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 If you focus on vintage German marbles, there are some pretty legit traits I see on this one and wouldn't hesitate. To answer the original question, I think it falls into the general onionskin category more than anything else. Calling a cane-cut marble a 'one-off' is a bit of a misnomer but I get the gist of Alan's comment (and value his opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattshaw1953 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 That is nice, I don't think I've seen that colour combo before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast_dave Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Neat marble. The color combo reminds me of this faceted pontil oxblood slag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 "Transitional Oxblood Onionskin"?, how's those Guttas Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 LOL the Guttas are just a few marbles in a very big pile right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ok so no tags need to be added. I'll just stick with what I had originally intended. Will mention there is nothing in the middle though. Forgot about that part. Wicked Ox Slag there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I would not call it an onionskin as it has no inner layer of an opaque color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ummmmmmmmm? Ok I'll bite. What would you call it then Galen? I have had more than a few Onions that were constructed this way. Might even have one now I will have to check. Besides it's too late it's listed with bids already so no changing things now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331687020778?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I agree it is closer to a coreless swirl or banded transparent swirl description than an onionskin, but buyers do not care what it's called it looks like. Bids are flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I would call it a Fantastic Marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
