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.

Nice Bunch of Warriors William, imagine all the hands they've been through ?? I can see the faceting in #4 and #6 in the pix, lots of history behind those mibs.

I search for these agates with hit marks.

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!!

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!!!

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.

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.
