Wolf Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 A high-end collector/seller wants to buy it from me. It's 11/16 and looks to be in great condition. I got it by accident while looking for oxbloods. I bought it for about 25. I said, what the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 That could be worth anywhere from $75-$400 with my personal opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marblemanvintagemarbles Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 With the damage I would think somewhere around $10-$40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I would pay maybe $5 on a bad day and a good day for spending😁. Just because I love beat up marbles. Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that size this one may be worth trying to resurface with an epoxy resin to restore it. May bring the value up considerably if done right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's offering 150. I don't need the money but I can ask him if he wants to trade for his UV hybrid G/Y/R Popeye. It's Condition: Mint Grade: 9.7 11/16″ + which is also 150. Would that be a fair trade or should I keep it? He only deals with elite stuff. He says the red is close to oxblood color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually a handmade German marble buddy. Its an as made defect. Given the rarity based of the condition of the rest of the marble i dont think that small imperfection will have that large of an impact on the overall desireablility of the marble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marblemanvintagemarbles Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Those little rough looking spots are referred to as pontils. Thats the spot the marble was taken off of the rod called a punty that they gather the molten glass with. They then shaped the marble with steel mold and once they were satisfied they twisted it off the punty rod usually creating that pontil mark. Sometimes they would melt that rough spot for a nicer finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I have about $600 worth of marbles and I wasn't even looking for them. What I found was even more rare. These rare oxbloods I'll show you. They all came from the same estate purchase by a antique hunter who sells mostly antique and new clothes and toys. I'll have to get back at you tomorrow. I have to be at a party. 🥳 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These marbles came with the Germans from the same place. It was some kind of estate hunter who found and sold them on her clothing store not knowing what they were. I'm sure you can see the two alien oxbloods. There is only one eggyolk and the other two are silver Onyx Oxbloods that are also rare. The first two are Golden Onyx Oxbloods. All Onyx except for the cub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no example? The "Golden Onyx Oxbloods"? The other 3 probably came out of the same original box with them. The hunt is as good as the marbles.

I would start them low and let the bidders fight it out. Today, I trade them or keep them and I am not "Married" to many of them. I always did well but I alway represented what I sold very well. Just a tip. Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
