Mikie_T Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 All beauties! I love looking at those oxbloods. Anyone got anymore to show off? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal3 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 This one is mostly oxblood - so much so that's got blowouts galore, but I love it in spite of the as-mades. It's one of the old German "Leighton' types, just over an inch, in mint shape but heavily cratered because of the glass problems. Please forgive the pic - this wasn't taken for publication, but since you asked, Mikie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold it quite a long time ago. And last, here are a couple Vitros with oxblood V's, not so hard to find but cool nonetheless. This is an awesome looking marble, damage and all. Thanks for posting it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Wow is right. I'd say there are some real keepers here - the Leighton and the egg-yolks are outstanding and the twins are super cool! This one's kind of dark but . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryG Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ric -- It's an old faceted pontil Leighton. Unfortunately it's got multiple annealing fractures. Still I wouldn't sell it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 WOW... what a bunch of great marbles!! I must say those trays are really nice too! Really works of art! Now seeing the pieces other than marbles makes me want to get out there and find me some. I have really enjoyed seeing all the oxblood! Y'all got more?
