Chad G. Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 My best and favorite (coffin) boxes I had made by Phil Thomas ( [email protected] ) all from Brazilian Hardwoods Yeah I'm beatin it again but the craftsmanship is excellent & the prices were great. Strong magnets insured a tight seal not easily broken, I can't brag enough about these boxes. I had Phil make several other display boxes for me all of the same caliber, I guess he's pretty well known in the marble community & been @ this for quite some time> I talked to him personally and more than a hobby, working w/ wood is something he loves to do. Here's a few more I had Phil make for me, all extremely high quality w/ the same magnetic locking mechanism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Well, this is just a great group. I have never held an Exotic before this bunch was gifted to me. Marble--On!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 This is the way! I love trading with fellow collectors. Postage-is the only cost and you gain a bunch of knowledge for free. Gain some friendship in this hobby that drives us all nuts and be rewarded. I have never made a bad trade—ever. These are from one of my best trading partners/friends that I will never meet eye to eye but would trust with my favorite dog—(my kids are all too old) Marble—On!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 An old AVON marble ring in the box complete w/ interchangeable marbles. Yes the marbles are plastic, what they came w/ new.

Thanks...for a minute I thought the Neptune might have been a Blue Jay, but I think the blue itself is too dark for that particular marble. Here's two of them I have setting on a pair of Imperial candlestick holders. For size comparison, 5/8 or so marbles in the dish and 7/8 shooters in the cups 👍😎 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
