Memories. Light the corners of my mind…


Shamrock Marbles

Here is a Block Auction where I have no current financial position:

If you notice the dates “2003-2005”, these were sold either at Moon Marble or eBay. 20+ years ago.

These “Patches” were made using a technique published in Drew Fritts’ book.

The glass used to make these marbles was Spectrum stained glass (COE 96).

Fun to demonstrate how they were made. Very quick. The shortest demonstration during any Marble Crazy at Moon Marble.

The bottom package was a “Citrus” set (Lemon, Lime and Orange).

[Please move to “Public Auctions “.]

Thats awesome :clap2:

Thank you, Tommy.

Another note: That packaging was a second generation.

The first generation (2003) had the trimmed bag top up inside the header. The marbles were trapped (not removable).

I decided to invert the bag so the zip-lock was at the bottom. That allowed the marbles to be removed for enjoyment.
