I know it is very good. I don't know an exact value but in the hundreds at a minimum.

Nice marble indeed and looks to be in good shape. I had one about a year ago with a cow on one side and a pig on the other side, shopped it around and finally sold it at the baltimore show for $450 to a marble guy. Unfortunately the marble market is way down as is everything else. Drop somemore pics on here if you can, does it have anything else on the other side ? Very nice find you should be able to get a couple nice bottles for that one....Greg

I don't know.But from my view point I wouldn't sell that marble ,until I talked to a real expert. looking in my Block marble book,that could be a several thousand dollar marble.

The book said I could get $4000 for mine but after shopping it around for 6 months and a failed effort on ebay I got fair market value. Those books are just like the bottle books a bunch of inflated prices so you will buy the book and point at it and say "heres what my bottle is worth". What the book says and what you can get in real life are two totally different things I have learned that lesson over and over. By the way most of the guys who write those marble books are big marble dealers themselves, the higher they put the values the more they can sell them for. Kind of like the guys who put out the bottle price guides they either run auctions, ebay stores or are dealers.

I have to second what Clam says. The true value is what the highest bidder is willing to pay. Some times more then the books written value but many times its less. If you ebay it the you should do a 10 day auction, set a reserve and sign up for a bunch of marble forums and post the link to your auction. Personally I'd hold on it until the economy goes back up and people start throwing more money around again. Swiz
