William Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Haven't scored in the wild for quite some time, heck Haven't been hunting in a long time. Took a road trip to LaCrosse, Wisconsin yesterday for breakfast to a little Cafe called Rosie's (@Melissa not sure if you have heard of it or been there, but I recommend!). Breakfast for 3 around $43, the plates were humongous. Great service. Afterwards, hit a little antique mall and found these guys yelling "buy me" lol.... Added bonus was the Ball lighting jar and the 1962 tin the marbles came in...the Jim Beam decanter just caught my eye, couldn't go wrong for $2.50 on that? First plate are all peewees.... Fun day 👍😎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaMarbles Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Lots of Germans that are really damaged but some really nice pee wee, handmade opaque Mellon balls, nice large China and some cool pink fancy Benny’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Not the greatest "score" but I am quite happy and so is the guy I paid for this lot of marbles. So many clearies and game marbles, a fair amount of cats but there are some neat marbles in here. This is how it looked when I came in the door this morning. Closer looks Those big red and yellow ones are about 1.15 inches. Three German and two porcelain in here but only tw are exceptionally nice. The rest are dyed clays and a few Benningtons. Cats below. Here's after they got a bath and sorted to some degree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Friday at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:17 PM It's 3 marks that make it a flower I suppose, very much like this one. Eventually that link will disappear since it is an auction lot image. I will show a better image later. I am wiggin out at this point. Sorted em al just about and there were very few damaged bad enough to pull for the junk box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted yesterday at 03:47 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:47 AM Here's the 3/4 inch one with the red Akroorka You can see the smaller one with the circles here as well. I have a picture of the three German Handmade mibs too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Image one—the one I asked about, is a “Painted China” imho. These are named after the process—“China”. They were actually made in Germany. They come quite fancy—yours looks to be in good shape but not near the tops in design. The one to the left just boggles my mind, the black and white one. It looks like glass but with indents involved—it is probably clay but the finish had to have been painted on—I have no clue. There are not many Clay experts that I know of—I am not one. Maybe @Chad G. or @bumblebee may have a clue. Brian Graham has researched American made clays more that anyone that I know but I forgot his handle here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Very cool marbles. The “germans” need some input as well. Thanks all for any input here. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like glass but with indents involved A tiny bounce off the table surface (not enough to cause any damage) tells me it is not clay but has a glass or china porcelain feel to it. 1 hour ago, akroorka said: The “germans” need some input as well. The smaller blue and clear Germans could have been easily tossed as damaged clearies with the lack of decoration here in these which is not easy to see in hand under room lighting. The image really brought out what is going on with the design. The larger is in quite nice condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
