Now, I'd better look through my game marbles! 😂

Marble--On!!

That's what they say about tomatoes, but I still can't see the difference. Maybe my tomato is not a good example for comparing. LOL.

I will need to research "Brian Graham"... Now, I'm hoping that by some miracle a green brick will drop on my lap. (I probably wouldn't realize it if it did.) I guess I'm going to be looking more closely at my unsorted marble bunches since it will probably be cold and snowy tomorrow.

It seems that Brian has laid back a bit over the last few years.

I hope that he did not do this because of any heat applied from collectors---screw opinions and keep them coming is what I say.

He has made some guinea marbles in years past that are just killer.

Buying some of these guinea's and researching them from a not-so-honest seller is what turned me on to Brian.

His Oxblood is some of the best ever made, and I mean ever-made by anyone.

Oxblood is king in my world and those past guinea marbles should be re-thought and remade.

Marble--On Brian Graham!!! ---A really true machine made artist!!---Less is always more.

I can’t remember the guys first name. His last name is Robinson. He had amazing Road and Tunnel contemporaries. He was making his marbles at the same time Graham was. They were on Ebay. I bid on their auctions but alway lost.

Impressive! He actually uses an original machine!  I just added him to my favorites on eBay. It says that I will receive notifications when new items are posted. New handmade marbles are expensive regardless of whether they are trying to copy the vintage and antique marbles or create something totally different, like those cool looking vortex marbles. Glassworking isn't easy. I'm always amazed when I watch that show "Blown Away". If anything, the not-so-honest sellers are the ones that screw it up for these artists and crafts people, IMO.
