Nuthin' goin' on in there but a few small bubbles. Thanks Bruce Lots of gold lutz Bruce, nice mib !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro75 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I do love German hand mades, especially onions. The pinkish one is my baby...2.5" studded with mica, the blue mottled one is 2" and looks great for being lightly polished.. another favorite a multilobed onion, reminds me of an impressionist painting comes in at 1 5/8" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 "Happy Thüringen Thursday" True "Pee - Wee's" all below the .50" mark No visible facets on this agate, doesn't mean they're not there, I may be blind but I haven't seen that many hand faceted mibs this small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akro75 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I love clambroths, so when I find them in any condition I have to get em! Even a wee bit "weathered" they still look great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they fall apart all by themselves, I've isolated one to see if the glass actually deteriorates by itself or not. Sounds crazy I know bout after close inspection over the years it sure seams to be true ?? Guess we'll find out "maybe" ?? AH, nice mibs yes !!

It's true, the 2 red ones were my dad's, he picked them up in the 80's...kept them in a glass enclosed sewing spool container all these years...perfect for mibs btw and they totally shed glass. It looked like the bottom of a broken candy cane bag..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great examples of German handmades in this thread. Bit late to the party but here's some of mine. They range in size from 2 5/8" the tri-level Swirl to 1 5/8" the EOD Cloud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Nice, 2 5/8" is a large size. I like that cloud too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 "Happy Thüringen Thursday" I'm still not sure what they used these big daddies' for but it certainly wasn't play, mantle pieces maybe ?? With all 4 marbles having the earlier type construction characteristics of faceted pontils on one end and on the other a melted pigtail one things for sure they did little else but look at these monstrosities for 150 years or better !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I thought I would put a little more focus on the first German I ever found, highlighting the interior as best as I possibly could so as too see it's design. At least I got some better shots of the colors. Man, has he been through some wars! Happy Thuringen Thursday! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
