William Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 These came with my little score a week ago. Really wish that they were in better shape. Someone loved them! The first 4 are 0.73 - 0.83, and the last 4 are 0.51 - 0.53. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect is not collectable to me in this area--the more hit marks the better. I just love them! Just think of the glass and clay marbles that were destroyed by them. These were obviously marbles that were used and enjoyed in years past---keep them and revere them as they were by the ones that owned them. What a great thing to own and collect. History in Agate marbles and you can hold them in your fingers! Marble-On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I just love these little Clearies Why--- because I did my due diligence searching “common lots”. I just love finding what should not be there. This one is just less than 5/8”, what a beauty! Search/look closely and be rewarded!! Marble—On!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 The smallest little white one in the center is right at .50" for size comparison, most of these are faceted but there are a few machine ground, yeah I'm a sucker for Bulls eyes, wish I had more, I have about twice this many I haven't taken pix of yet, getting HTF actual faceted ones, the machine ground are flooding the market. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 "Thüringen Thursday" Some marble mail, a new Joseph Coat Backlit so you can see the windows into the transparent interior 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Some of my favourite boards are the simplest and smallest - 7 1/2" mahogany board with bun feet 12-14mm pink/green onionskins. Nothing to indicate the maker. Pontils are ground but very finely so I'll hazard a guess at some time around the end of the faceted period and the early ground period. Again my bet is that this set has always been together. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Some more Coats, one has a threaded yellow gel core, all with two unfinished Pontils suggesting a late Victorian Era manufacture date somewhere around 1870 and 1910 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
