RE: marbles - 3/6/2007 12:03:58 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2012 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Those are super number nines. I picked out the yellow slag when I was trading because of the 9 swirl in it. I'm not the greatest at identifying but I can usually tell the better from the more common. After hanging around my dad(he's the real marble collector) I've picked up enough to sort through boxes and "Cherry-Pick". Please feel free to post as many marble pics as possible and I'll see if I can tell what they are. You can quiz me. Here's another pic of a frame full.    Would you call that one tft posted in the second and third pics an oxblood?

RE: marbles - 3/6/2007 6:28:44 AM    Road Dog   Posts: 749 Joined: 6/9/2005 Status: offline I would say not.Look like Akro Aces. Hard to tell from pics with Ox unless pics are supr close and clear. Sometimes moniter settings can make colors look of too. Here are some Akro Lemonade Ox. Attachment (1) (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 22

RE: marbles - 3/6/2007 8:56:38 AM    epgorge Posts: 2398 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Thanks for the link roaddog. I have about a thousand marbles and have no idea what any of them are. I will now study. They go back at least 40 years when I won most them. I use to have this thing or ball bearings. I guess they aren't worth much, but I still like them. i use to trad up to five marbles for one of them. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 27

RE: marbles - 3/6/2007 10:09:38 AM    stonemason   Posts: 68 Joined: 9/28/2004 Status: offline Any idea what the clay like and dark glass marbles were actually made from, and where? A few years ago I was metal detecting an old farm house down in the dirt cellar. I got a very faint but clear reading which was a few of these really old crude looking marbles.I still have some of the dark glass ones and they still register with my old detector. Maybe a high iron content? (in reply to tftfan) Post #: 29

RE: marbles - 3/6/2007 9:34:31 PM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I must say that I am totaly amazed.  I had no idea that marbles could come in such a wide array of colors and designs.  Are these special made by artisans?  Surely you would not place these on the ground and play a game of marbles with those gems.  I remember well those little nicks that came on marbles from one striking one another during a game of marbles.  You guys ever played marbles? Had your mom fuss about wearing the knees out of those jeans from too much marble playing? Aaaaaahh! Back in the days when life was so much simpler. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 30

RE: marbles - 3/7/2007 7:43:09 AM    Road Dog   Posts: 749 Joined: 6/9/2005 Status: offline The ones I show in the large group (Slags) are all handgathered. Date somewhere between 1905 and 1920's. M.F. Christensen had a endless variety of shades of colors. In the picture are marbles from Akro Agate Company and M.F. Christensen and a handgathered from Christensen. < Message edited by Road Dog -- 3/7/2007 7:44:29 AM > (in reply to logueb) Post #: 31

RE: marbles - 3/7/2007 1:30:53 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2012 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Cobalt blue decorated salt glazed stoneware just like the crocks. That one with the Stripe on it is much better than the rest though in my opinion. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 33
