Gina Macias Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Approx. 21/32”-11/16” out of round. Also, what does VHTF mean? Thank you so much. This is around $55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Very Hard To Find; It's all relative I have mibs that I was told are VHTF but I have a dozen. Thanks Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Very Hard To Find. If it's out of round that doesn't mean it's VHTF. Probably recovered at a dig. $10 People seem to think a lot of their marbles are VHTF. At $55 they are dreaming and mislead. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It’s very true. I was at a flea market and saw a Blue Bennington with a few marbles in a jar. I asked the guy what he wanted for the jar. He poured the jar out in a tray and told me the Blue Bennington was worth $50. I just said good luck. No slap in the face trying to straighten that price out. Just moved on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not mind spending when it’s worth the price, that’s why I always ask, because as much as I’ve tried to find comparisons, it is so up and down with pricing. I’m trying to find an Indian blanket or I’m sure I’ve seen other “Indians” to honor my poor husband who is Native American and has spent hours trying to teach me how to shoot properly with some of my ABU marbles on the rug. ABU is my own acronym for “all banged up!” Thank you all so much. I’m honored to be around such knowledgeable collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hold out. Don't jump on this one. It's worth looking for down the road. Tell him I proudly worked side by the BIA in the 4 Corners area here out West for 10 years. I learned a lot. My Mom is pro active with the tribes in North And South Dakota. I also worked in Alaska as a Fire Fighter and trained a lot of the Athabascan tribes in Alaska how to fight fires for 10 years as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my pleasure to know you and I appreciate all you do for indigenous people. I love the four corners area. I’ve been to Denver many times to National Jewish Health-best pulmonary doctors in the country IMHO. I work a lot with Lakota Law Society and Pine Ridge Reservation- One Spirit, which is for the children. People have the misconception in the east that all Indian tribes have casinos and are doing quite well. You tour Pine Ridge or Rosebud and it is like a third world country. So sad from the richest nation in the world when you see some of the people who have more money than they’ll ever spend and the dire poverty of the original Americans. Sorry I’ll get off my soapbox, now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
