guinea marbles - 10/22/2006 2:03:34 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2016 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I just traded a digging buddy of mine for these marbles. I think I did alright. They're guineas but they aren't the finest examples. Any guinea is rare though so I took a chance. the yellow one is a christensen slag I believe.

They were dug on the factory property along with dozens of fragments. I'd love to send you a better pic but my camera isn't top of the line. Two of them are amber based and 5 of them are cobalt based. My dad has been collecting marbles for 20 plus years and he varified them for me by his offer lol. nicest thing about 3 of them are that they are 3/4" marbles which adds a premium to them. I'll try to get a better pic on here. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 3
