crashbelt Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Just got this odd clock-face board. Its old and 11" diameter but I've no idea what it is so I'd welcome any ideas! It needed 1 1/2" mibs to sit well in the 12 indentations - so I scraped these together for the pic. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box say UK on it somewhere? I do not own one of these so I am not sure. I just remembered seeing one when I was looking at tiddley winks games at some point in the past. The thing I remember most is thinking to myself, "How in the world would you flip a wink into one of those depressions"!? Here is a link to an old Ebay listing that has much better photos, including instructions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Glevum Series' on the box instructions means it was made by Roberts Bros of Gloucester 1890-1956. Major English games maker including solitaire boards - I have a few boxed examples. But sadly Clock Tidley is not a marbles board so I'll have to find another home for those 1 1/2" mibs - oh well...........🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Time for a solitaire board this week. Its a late 19th Century boxed Jaques set with 9/16" onions. Jaques must have thought these blue pink and green onions looked good on their mahogany boards and bought lots in from Thuringen. I've had three sets with this combination and one all pink and one all green. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 This is my pocket pal! Always with me so I can show dealers in antique places etc what a German handmade looks like. 11/16" faceted caged divided swirl - totally beaten up but I've got a soft spot for this one!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Carrying an example around is a very good idea. I have a pocket marble too but it's hardly a functional marble and it's not German so I won't post it here. I can understand having a soft spot for a beat up old German handmade though . . . I have had this one for decades and I doubt I'll ever part with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
