Carowill Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 1 hour ago, akroorka said: This is why we study marbles. I just opened this one today. It was sold as an Alley—I knew better. This one went for $10.50 including shipping. We used to call these “Millers”. This one is under 9/16” and over ½”. I have never seen one so small. Killer buy for the bottom feeder that I am. I just love this stuff!!! Marble—On!! Great score Art! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 @Alan Your contemporary collection is stellar and I really enjoy seeing these examples. If my trying to guess the artist gets tiresome just let me know and I'll be happy to stop. Otherwise, I appreciate the opportunity for practice and learning. Are these from William Murray?

He had two from this cane and I bought both. Pretty amazing conversation pieces and artwork, they are on my mantle piece and guests always go straight to them for a better look.
