There were some played with marbles, but there where 3-5 marbles in a set of different companies I grouped up, the sets were mint. I was advertising in the free adds of the Big nickel. An elder lady called and said she'd wanted $50 for her marbles which I told her, I'd have to see them first. When I got there, she began saying I was a collector, and her husband was one whom had passed. The she tried selling me baseball bats, gloves and balls. She was saying how much she hated her husband because he was a collector and left her with all this stuff. There were lots of collectibles of all shorts. She was asking me: How much would I pay for the bats and other things. I knew they were old for sure but, I don't know bats, I told her. Poor lady was such a nag, I stopped her and asked, about the marbles. I was getting annoyed about her ranting. So, when I saw the old dusty crock 3/4 filled finally, I hardly but brushed a few marbles, on the top; saw a cork or two, a slag or so and replied" "You want $50 for this?" In a stern manor, she said" "Yes!" I gave her the money and it took IDK about 10 more minutes to get out of there, mannerly. After I left, I'd realized; Because of her attitude, I hadn't really looked at them so, I pulled over, began checking a little and a mint Lemon aide oxblood popped right up. Later at home, it all became obvious that crock had not been touched since the 1930-40's. I kind of felt a little bad because, had she not been so annoying, I would have spilled that crock, sorted them and paid her a fair price. Regardless, an old crock like that is one for the dreamers. I'll never forget her saying: "You are a collector, I feel sorry for your wife! My husband, Blah, Blah, Blaw!" Nice ones Jeff 👍 here are my two ‘Miller ‘ liberty’s both are closer to 3/4 but not quite there 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 So, inside the crock pot, I mentioned last week ' Mint sets from different companies.' Here's one from it which I've never seen another. Old photo so, graphics don't do it justice anymore. I call it Peltier: 'Gemstone Tiger eye'. Probably would need to see it in-hand to realize why. It is a simi translucent blending mix which is not exactly a dead match of the gleaming stone, but pretty darned close... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it's not beat to a pulp. That little as-made fingernail hold would be very helpful for applying "english" when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
