Madcap Laughs Posted Friday at 01:45 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:45 AM 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 Friday at 02:41 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:41 AM 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 Friday at 02:55 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:55 AM 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 Friday at 03:35 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 03:35 AM Ric! Nick Finks is under new ownership but Mill Creek Tavern is awesome. They are opening a steakhouse next door. Now I am hungry! Lol A guy was selling that for $300 on marketplace and I offered to help him out with what he had, so thanks to you both! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I've been in the neighborhood and I'm old enough to remember when Nick Fink's was a dive. lol I still get up to Rockford regularly to visit family though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Laughs Posted Friday at 05:40 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 05:40 AM 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 Sunday at 06:35 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:35 AM 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...
