Ric Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Well, there is everything from soup to nuts in this lot, which spans many, many, years of marble production. All I can say is that I hope you find some good ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Depending on what you paid, you may have gotten a pretty good deal. A couple of those germans appear in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8Natured Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Yaaa, that was the one I had spotted to, in hopes of it's perfection. I have to go to California Saturday, hope I get them before then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8Natured Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Figured I would show all pics and get your feedback.I have some german marbles, very few almost no knowledge. But because of this I figured I should get some more. HaHaHa, good reason to get some more beautiful marbles, right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 THese 2 might be nice onions (hopefully no damage) maybe a divided core or a solid core in the mix might be ok too ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thank you so are Onions Germán? and the Lutz in one of the ribbons is highly desirable correct? What about a Germán marble is good? such as a single core inside, or ribbons more towards the outer???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Onion skins "onions" (shown in the 2 pix I posted) are Antique German cane cut marbles, as are all the "glass" Germans (Antique Cane cut) present in your photos. "If" you have any Lutz or aventurine present in any of your german handmades, yes it is desirable. From the pix I can't tell if you do or don't. Condition is always # 1 in marbles as far as value goes ( machine made, handmade or contemporary) I remember when I started collecting, my mentor telling me, condition, condition, condition. There are a few cases where you can have an extremely rare marble and it will still have value but the other 98% as far as value is all condition. I always collect what I like and get the best example possible, the only one you have to make happy is you .. Here is a picture of an onionskin I have loaded w/ lutz, they are a very beautiful marble IMO, the high mint condition makes a big difference in both appearance (clarity) and value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
