budwas Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 2" real or fake? I don't find any with the blue color glaze that looks to be the same as blue benningtons and black strips. $? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Exactly 2"? I have pulled out my copy of the 4th edition of Collecting Antique Marbles, by Paul Baumann. (This edition has material on carpet balls.) It says that if the bowl has regular lines that's a sign of modernity. Your bowl has irregular lines. So that's promising. The name of the style might be "Double Cross". That's all I have at this time. Purely out of the book, and only from a glance in the book. So now I'll wait for other input.

Steph Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Most, if not all of their marbles are vintage. That's one more plus for it being vintage. I can't remember if I read about what the crazing means. And of course I have no idea if that is a good price. It's in line with the prices in Baumann's book, but I don't know if those prices are still relevant, or if they take crazing into account, for instance.

orbboy Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Looks good to me. At 2" though I would have to think that it would go into the Jack Ball size range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
