schmoozer Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Bought this as there were a number of AKRO corks visible. It had been converted to a floor lamp by the dealer I bought it from. Was surprised to find the coffee can hidden inside, resulting in there being less marbles. There were also a lot of plastic beads, polished rocks, and other stuff. the marbles turned out to be much better than expected. There are 2 peach corks on a wispy base, I have not seen before. Plus 3 black/yellow corks, with 1 being left-handed. also a nice CAC and a Peltier wasp. overall very pleased, will refill with common mibs. I really need to meet the dealer to see what other marbles he has🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nice score, but I'm a sucker for corks. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Congrats on the sweet marbles. A let down to not have more marbles inside, but the coffee can's a pretty good idea for someone wanting to display their marbles and not have hundreds hidden away inside.  Now you've got me thinking about what I can put in some of my marble jars. A paper towel roll sounds good for jars .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logical when doing your own marble jars for display, which is what was intended by the dealer. It wasn’t about the collectible mibs, it was about a cool lighting piece. now, if I bought a large jar of collectible marbles and found a coffee can inside, that would generate a different discussion...🤔  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
