marboman Posted August 22, 2024 Report Share Posted August 22, 2024 Thanks Chad I'm glad you like them. I'm typically a machinemade collector but I have a few handmades. I'm not familiar with the names. So if you guys out there do know the names of some these, if they have names, I would appreciate the help. ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted August 22, 2024 Report Share Posted August 22, 2024 Last week I showed a FH Ayres compendium set board with swirls. Here's the other main marble type they used for their compendiums - pee wee micas. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic marbles David, coats are my favorites, the board is a great addition to a perfect set Just a sidenote, how many coats have you noticed w/ aventurine. ?? And what is your ratio of coats @ 1" or bigger ?? Just curious what you have on your side of the pond 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 Good question, I'm curious as well. Aventurine in German handmades is few and far between. Most likely incidental. Your example above is excellent. What's the size? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess I can post one now before I forget, this one is nearly @ one inch, has av. in several bands not only in the green, yes it is my favorite And another, a lot more sparse on this one and only in a couple of the green ribbons, Oop!! almost forgot, right around 11/16ths 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around 150 Josephs Coats - none has AV and they're all 9/16" to 11/16". But that's because they're all in solitaire sets -probably all original sets. The set in my post is 11/16".

crashbelt Posted September 26, 2024 Report Share Posted September 26, 2024 Following up last week's board with Josephs Coats with another. They make for some of the most attractive solitaire sets and these days original sets are vhtf and expensive. Lucky I found mine years ago in the UK. 9/16" ground pontils so later period. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted October 3, 2024 Report Share Posted October 3, 2024 At the risk of being predictable here's a third consecutive week of Josephs Coat boards. Again very likely an original set found in the UK 25 years ago. 9/16" to 5/8" less finely made than the previous 2 sets but great bright colours. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted October 11, 2024 Report Share Posted October 11, 2024 I don't see a core inside this one with outer ribbons of yellow white and green. It is 7/10" diameter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted October 11, 2024 Report Share Posted October 11, 2024 My little man big man for relating to Chads recent post up there. well . . . sorta. Large latticinio core is about 7/10 inches in diameter, smaller a tad over 1/2 inch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted October 11, 2024 Report Share Posted October 11, 2024 Bit late this week, but for the 4th week running its a board of Joseph Coats. Pee wees this time. Not 100% sure if they're all Josephs may be some onions and banded transparents in there! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted October 16, 2024 Report Share Posted October 16, 2024 After the last 4 Thursdays of Josephs Coat boards this last offering just sneaks in this week. 11 Josephs Coats and 22 swirls. I've always been pretty sure its original because the glass colours are consistent and the 11/16" size and ground pontil finishes. So probably a later period board I was lucky enough to find in the UK 25 years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
