Went to an antique show in Spokane, all from the same dealer, plus an Italian stiletto and a threaded barrel for one of my other hobbies.

assuming the 2 small knobs are for window levers?

can’t remember who made the marble…🤯 about 13/16”

Thanks, Chad.

also snagged 2 nice pieces of Blenko. Left 1 in Spokane at the MILs apartment.

here is the other, an epergne in seeded chartreuse. Early 50’s I think.24232E22-DBC2-48C8-9DEB-9B35704B0684.thumb.jpeg.b2c9163a993858b591a66b392ddf8465.jpeg

 Looks delicate ??  Just wondering about the sturdiness of the Blenko Glass ??

Built like a truck, probably weighs 5lbs. 16” tall, we also have its little sister at 12”.

Wow !!  Thanks for the great info Brad, you'd never figure from the pic, it looks small & dainty, but now that I have perspective, man 5 lbs. what a monstrosity  :blink:

Blenko typically made pieces that are probably twice as heavy as the other makers. The newer pieces are thinner due to increased production costs.

Just got this huge lot of marbles, an antique store had a bucket of marbles that was selling them for one dollar a scoop, so I asked how much for the whole bucket and got it for 18 bucks. And I also found two Akroware pieces today separately. I haven’t gone through it all yet but so far this is the best stuff, the two CACs are pretty beat to hell, but they should polish nicely.

@Chad G. You seem to be the Peltier expert round these parts...have you ever seen a gold pelt like this? I've never come across or seen online with this color.

Yes, a Rainbo, they come in just about every transparent color you can think of, some more common, some VHTF,  a good marble to collect, you'll never reach the end of Rainbo color combinations or variations, BTW Nice mib Adam :thup:
