Madcap Laughs Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Found this on marketplace and thought is was cool...But what is it? Only photos of it... Love that purple! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 It doesn't impress me as handmade marble. It looks more like a weird "cold roll" defect on a machine made marble. Comstock Park, huh. I've been in Nick Fink's more than a few times - born and raised in NE GR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I believe Ric is correct also. Looks more likely to be be a cold roll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Laughs Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 Ric! Nick Finks is under new ownership but Mill Creek Tavern is awesome. They are opening a steakhouse next door. Now I am hungry!

Madcap Laughs Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 Comstock Park is tiny!

I have never seen an antique marble that is all purple like that. Its pretty! But an Akro cork...interesting.

I could see it being an Akro game marble but I think it's hard to know for sure what company made it since many produced tons of "clearies". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Agree, I just see a defective purple machine made clearie, no way for me to determine manufacturer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
