akroorka Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am a big fan of the underachievers. I always try to overachieve when sorting, if not, I would have never found these two. Finding ones like these in a lot always gets my desire to continue collecting flowing. Here are two little Cleary’s (out of the wild). The first one is just over ½” the other, the really nice blue one is 5/8-11/16”. The little one has a ground pontil on both ends, no lutz, just bubbles. The blue one has a melted pontil at both ends . This one is quite out of round but it has a color that is unreal and not replicated in any marble that I own—very pretty blue. Blue was and is a very expensive color of glass to produce, so I am not surprised to see that this one made the mark for sales. (excuse the reflections of my backdrop. They are both flawless) Search like you mean it and be rewarded! Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 It's Thursday so here's another board. Glevum Games boxed, pine board. very clear glass with bright colours. Rough ground pontils despite quite intricate Swirl design. I'm guessing very late period maybe early 20th C? I highlighted my faves - 2 same cane single ribbons in black/yellow/white and their double ribbon sibling. Unusually nearly all the mibs have some black glass which is very unusual. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Another beautiful board to start the day. Thanks for showing it. The black, yellow and white ones do stand out in the group, and it's interesting that nearly all share some black color. It's a beautiful group of marbles!

William Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm extremely happy to post the very first Sulfide since I began collecting, a trade gift from a very good friend 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 These are the only "clay type" ones I really saved, guessing the Black Bennington would be the hardest to acquire then maybe the Jaspar in the back ?? Not all that knowledgeable on them they just came in lots !! I have some glazed painted helix and bullseye Chinas "somewhere" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I cannot say that I have ever seen a black bennie before. The three color bennies are a hard find. The big Jasper colored one is quite cool as well. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Here is a Chad Valley set. Boxed, cheap looking 2 tone board - probably painted/stained plywood. Ground pontil mibs. Looks very late period to me, perhaps early 20th Century. The stars are the lovely simple 'English' colour swirls, especially the single colour solid cores. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 The only full set I ever owned, a set of solid cores I had some years ago. All mibs are 11/16ths or better w/ many same cane. I believe the mibs were all original to the set for the fact of all the same canes present, but no real way to tell. A few of my favorite colored cores 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
