Fire1981 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 I’m always looking for the Lefty hand mades. Traditional right handed marble makers spin/spun the cane counter clock wise. Lefties spin/spun it clock wise. Here are the examples. Righty is first and lefty second. Sort yours and see if you have any Lefty’s. If so…..Score🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this - I'm right handed and I would be spinning it clockwise. I totally understand the idea of right and left hand spins but I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with whether the marble maker was right or left handed, just which direction they were prone to twisting the cane. Added Later . . . Did you mean, "Makers of right handed marbles spin/spun the cane counterclockwise, and makers of left handed marbles spin/spun the cane clockwise"? Because that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 That makes sense. It also has to do with which side of the Glory Hole they are working from🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that would be most significant for single-gather marbles. I'm not so sure it was as significant when pulling and twisting canes. And I have a feeling that which side of the glory hole they were working had more to do with looking into it and seeing what they were doing rather than which direction they were gathering the marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Scott Myers(Old) brought this up when I had him make some marbles for me. Some Artist have the ability to spin it both directions. Mike Barton (Migbar) was really good at that. I just like findings these.🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Nice, you obviously have much better hunting grounds than I do around here. I haven't seen a group in the wild like that for years and years. Luck you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted Saturday at 01:55 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 01:55 AM No doubt! A group like that took me at least 3-5 years off the Bottom of EBay and crappy auction pics. SCORE🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 11:41 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:41 PM So I bought 2 lbs of these Michelangelo players, and it came out to be 175 marbles. I am surprised there was no breakage, cracks, or pinpricks. They looked pretty good overall for design. I picked out my favorite set, and 1 extra which jumps out at me. Wish they all looked like it. Ended up with 7 groups of 24, Need them shooters! My extra favorite one. It's in here with this group of 25 marbles. Dead center second row from the back. I did not own a Michelangelo yet except a frosted one I got from VAMarbles at the NJ show as a gift. I STILL LOVE IT! But . . . . Maybe I did have one all along. I got this one incher and inventoried it as an "Eclipse". Sure looks like it is related to a lot of my new weaker Michelangelo. I believe these are 4th generation variety. So here it is leading the group. I think I may have assembled my own nice 24+1 net bag. My tag I made. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
