William Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Own a beat up marble? A veteran of the Glass Wars that has the battle scars too prove it? I'm sure everyone has come across these while collecting, but were they kept? Let's show them off and their story if they have one! Thought I would start a fun, new thread 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Here's mine, an old lunker coming in at 1.38 that I found in a small Tupperware container mixed in with a handful of random marbles. It was a laundromat that doubles as a thrift store in a small town only 7 miles from me. Considering his age, it's a wonder he's still alive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 The Evil Eyed Onion !! Still @ almost 2" at it's widest point, someone had a field day with this one !! Usually when they get this big they have an interior, or built over core, I lit one end up with my mag to show the interior of this one. no interior core. Everyone who sees this in my display asks what it is, not even realizing it was at one time a beautiful marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Nope, clean fracture. So clean it would probably stick back together with water. Don't know how it happened but glass has a funny way of doing it's own thing. Sticking together, like your original marble, is one example. Change the temp a bit and that marble could be in a hundred fragments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Yeah, about 20 years ago the guy lost it in his car and mailed it to me after he found it again. Definitely a cool one for me. And good faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 It is really cool - almost looks like the core is hollow. There is glass in there, right? lol. And I'll bet the edges are sharp, especially on the thin section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
