Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Reminds me of the hand made room @ the marble show. Where's the shed ?? pretty good shape for lyin around in a shed ( score !! ) How heavy are those lawn bowls you have ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 The shed was at a homestead in Canada. The carpet bowls were probably in better condition than the shed. The lawn bowls are WAY heavier than they look. Real dense wood. The inlays might be ivory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I was @ a picnic about 5 years ago and they had a lawn bowl, that thing was heavy, more like a rock, didn't have letters like yours it had imprinted numbers, 3 of them, obviously not the weight, that's all I remember, I know nothing about them. Just kiddin about where the shed was. Those carpet bowls especially the ones with the flower like imprint look familiar, I know there's a name on them I just can't remember, That design was specific to them.

I'llhavethat1 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Yeah, I don't know much about them either. Spongeware comes to mind but I don't know if that was related to where they were made or a regional nickname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Your gettin warmer, I heard that term also sounds familiar, I think sponge wear is the name for a certain type of glazed pottery ?? I just found your exact lawn bowls on ebay, made by Ayers with bone inlay, these looked brand new to me, I couldn't believe all the listing's, I wrote carpet bowls on the Ebay header and all kinds of bowls popped up.( found it) some kinda sponge dabbed pottery, they showed some pics, pretty spendy I guess, though from the pics I can't see why, Oh well to each their own.

Chad G. Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 This a little Akro children's china thumb pot, highly uv., Small Akro china is one of my favorite marble related thing's to collect. The little clear spot on the bottom is a punch out for drainage, children punched almost all of these out, especially in the med. sized ones.

Chad G. Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 3 pot ID's for Akro china. The 3rd is the thumb pot to small I think for a crow, every one I've seen only has a letter and #'s. Two of these are highly uv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 "More specific Akro marks" on a "7 dart vase " One of the larger one's they made. I don't believe the divot in the bottom was made to punch out, the glass is still quite thick in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fentonacres Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Since my dad grew up in West Virginia, glass was always a thing when we visited. I used to have more Fenton (no relation), Viking and others. But we downsized and I hate dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Some boxes I converted into marble cases using dimple foam, my favorite is the backgammon case w/ a spot for my loupe a cleaning cloth and some spare mib bags. The others are old airtight humidor boxes with locking capabilities, I could drop this box out of my car doing 55 and not harm the mibs inside, a good box if your a fumble fingers like me, I took a couple pics. ( one more ) a very old skeleton key lock box, just added dimple foam, for a little larger mibs. Locking mechanism a must have in my case, can't afford to drop me treasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Gonna resurect this thread 'cause I hit a moving sale yesterday. I got this plate. It's a full size transferware dinner plate, probably from the 1870s or 80s. The reason I'm posting is on the left rim, two marbles, or more likely carpet balls. I looked on the internet and there is a full color version. the top one is bright red with a gold band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
