Shamrock Marbles Posted Monday at 08:41 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:41 AM Here is a Block Auction where I have no current financial position: https://bid.marbleauctions.com/online-auctions/blocks-marble-auctions/contemporary-handmade-john-mccormick-3-packages-total-9-marbles-9049057 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 “.] 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Edna is now the owner. These were a “Caterpillar Fold” with green aventurine and white. Gravity is drawing me in… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had made him a set of marbles to study. Les Jones was one of the first to see my marbles in person (shoe box). Sold them for 50-cents each in KC. Les was a true gentleman. The community lost an anchor when he died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community lost an anchor when he died. Please forgive my sin of omission. When the community lost Alan, we lost an anchor, too. We owe a debt of gratitude for his efforts. I wish I had been more vigorous with my interactions him and Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
