Berryb Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 WOWSER. Really nice. I have never seen anything like the one with the solid pink core. thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Great German's De Roberto, I was beginning to think I was the only one that still collected them. Excellent marbles every one , appreciate the pics, I started collecting German hand mades in the 90's the prices then where considerably more but I was and still am fascinated by them. "Good post" The clown is outstanding, not an easy one to find in any shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazie Bruce Pink in ancient marbles was used more often, however always in smaller numbers than other colors, especially as regards the core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottime biglie tutte, apprezzo le foto, ho iniziato a collezionare manufatti tedeschi negli anni '90 i prezzi poi erano molto di più ma ne ero e ne sono ancora affascinato. "Bel post" Il clown è eccezionale, non facile da trovare in qualsiasi forma. Consider that there are people who collect only " handmade" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 "Yes" but sadly few and far between now a day's, in he 90's everyone was chasing them. I know I paid a pretty penny for some that I purchased back then. I still love em. "Thanks again" for the great pics De Roberto !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The first marbles I collected were handmades. I still collect them today after 24 years. The only two marbles I have bought at auction or a show since Feb. was one handmade and one machine made. A mint- 1.98 inch onionskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So di aver pagato un bel penny per alcuni che ho acquistato allora. Li amo ancora. "Grazie ancora" per le bellissime foto De Roberto !!! Perhaps some collectors of "handmade" are no longer among us ..... unfortunately. Could this aspect also affect? Unless, it's a general thing. Anyway, I think that they should be collected like the other marbles, not only for the beautiful color combinations (some spectacular) but also and above all for their history. They were the first glass marbles to play, and they should be included in the collections, at least, I think this way Well, I include two other mib....Joseph e big mica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Very nice mibs De Roberto, I agree w/ you 100 %, I think a lot of the newer generation is into much more the contemporary mibs, not that they aren't great I do have a few but they probably feel the same as me about them ask themselves why I don't have a large selection of contemporary's. Times change as they do, when you go to the antique store now it's mostly "vintage" instead of antiques. When I started there was no "vintage" dep't. I think the antique marbles are absolutely beautiful, the first ones I started collecting seriously. I use to have a couple thousand of them in my first collection, lost through the course of a divorce in 09.

Don't worry man, there is no problem. My name is Roberto, the most many here in Italy call me Roby, for me it is indifferent, call me whatever you want I want to delete "From" but I can't, I'll try again. Bye and thanks!

Chad G. Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thanks Roby, just didn't want to offend ya man. yeah sometimes the editor on this site won't let you do anything, I've had to wait all night before. For some reason late night is usually when it happens and no one is around to fix it. Chad G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
