RE: marbles - 3/10/2007 4:52:55 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline last one for now. I believe this to be a Steubenville Leighton transistional slag. It's a shame it was broken so badly. I dug this one in Steubenville, Ohio Attachment (1) < Message edited by zanes_antiques -- 3/10/2007 4:54:29 AM > _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 44

She showed me a crystal marble, huge, it was. It had a figural in the middle. Kinda cool. She said someone told her it was valuable. Any idea. Has anyone heard of Crystals with figurals in them?

RE: marbles - 3/10/2007 9:04:33 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    Here is what I believe you are referring to. They are called "Sulphide Marbles" and have all sorts of things inside them. This one I bought for my dad a few years ago for Christmas. It's a wild boar. It's in the top right hand corner of the photo. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 48

RE: marbles - 3/12/2007 1:29:23 AM    diginit   Posts: 703 Joined: 4/7/2004 From: California Status: offline Hey BNB! A rolled up piece of glass from the railroad tracks ? Sounds like a marble to me. lol For Epgeorge...  I heard there were figures such as mickey mouse,etc in some marbles and they are collectible. Which means they would be of some value, but I haven't seen one myself as yet. Don't let her sell it without getting a few estimates. Zane-  Thanks, I'm nearly drooling on my keyboard. If I knock them out of the circle, They're mine. < Message edited by diginit -- 3/12/2007 1:33:57 AM > _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 50

Very Nice website,by the way.  I guess I'll have to look closer when I'm around the tracks. Do you know what they were originally used for or how they came into existance?  James  _____________________________ Life is a Ditch. (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 52

RE: marbles - 3/16/2007 8:47:57 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline WOW! I guess you'd probably like to come up here and dig one of the early Leighton Sites? Let me know sometime if you do. I can show you where the site was but I can't find a dump yet. There has to be a dump I'd think just like all the other factories had am I correct in thinking that?   I know where the factory was here and I think my buddy Steve knows approximately where the Navarre site was. I'd love to poke around either. I'm going to try to get permission to probe and dig on and near the Steubenville Site. It's currently a vacant lot. < Message edited by zanes_antiques -- 3/16/2007 9:00:48 PM > _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Road Dog) Post #: 59
