German's

Post pictures of your favorite German hand made's

[Chad G.]

Biggest but not best, still one of my favorite's, lot's of mica, I bought this one at the I.A.M.C. show a few year's back.

[Chad G.]

A couple of nice large joseph coat's. Each about 1.25", the largest I have now, had to sell about 4 other larger one's for financial reason's.

[Chad G.]

I think these all come in @ near 1 3/4th's, nice clean mib's no chipping or pocket ware, not the rarest or biggest but x tra clean, all but one, the lobed onionskin are faceted on one end and have a melted pigtail on the other. It only has 4 lobes but lobed none the less. I was told by David Salazar it's a first of cane marble, I'll show the weird looking end a little later. ( sorry about the wait )

Great mib's, I can't get enough, the two coat's are most excellent. Sold all my onionskin( oop's forgot my yellow lutz I posted in "some of my favorite mib's" so I do have one ) lutz marble's last go round about 12 year's ago along w/ 95 % of my collection, during a bad divorce experience. Good to not put all my egg's in one basket, I try to keep a varied collection but I do have my favorite's. Unfortunately almost anything to do w/ marble's is my favorite. Guess I could be addicted to worse thing's.

Forgot about a mib

[Chad G.]

This old onion still read's 2.237 " at the widest point, even after someone took after it with a hammer or whatever Thought you might want to see what's going on inside so I took some pic's shinning my flashlight through it. I just keep it around for a conversation piece and inevitably everyone who sees it ask's what it is.

[Chad G.]

Some of my nicest coat's, some lobed, some aventurine, a yellow latt. jell core, a couple beach ball type's and a shrunken or two.

addition

[Chad G.]

A few more med. size. The only and biggest solid core I have, wait I do have a few smaller one's, I think it's bed time. 

[Chad G.]

These are my favorite German's next to lutz, joseph coats, nothing like the ones I used to have but getting there. plus some ribbon lutz marble's.  I found a few more when I was going through my mib's that I didn't even know I had.

[Chad G.]

Here's a handful of smaller German's

[Chad G.]

This is my wettest mica, a common green but no pitting, pullout's, scratches or pocket wear a nice 1.13 inches, excellent mint + shape for a mib this size and age. someone must have forgotten about it for a long time.

[Chad G.]

One you don't see every day, a yellow glass coreless swirl, @ 29/32nd's

[Chad G.]

One of my best sulphide's, a common but xtra clean and wet with very minimal air entrapment figure of a pig, not huge but an average size of exactly 1 1/2 "

I have 5 sulphides, all of which have fallen into my lap so to speak. The lion (1 3/4) belonged to my grampa, and was given to me by my Mom. The elephant (1 19/32nds) I got in a trade for stuff I had 0 dollars invested in. The llama (1 3/4)  I got in a shop in Eugene for next to nuthin 'cause it was so beat up. The boar (1 13/32) and the turkey (1 9/32) came in a box at a yard sale a few years ago for 15 bucks. I had pretty much given up on Marble collectin' 'cause I never found anything, that box got me started again.

[Chad G.]

And a very nice start it is, wish marble's like that would fall into my lap, keep diggin!!! I have finally taken some good picture's of sulphide's I'll be posting shortly, "keep diggin Bruce".
