Hey rando,
Very nice & swirly guy. What is the diameter? Is that a "splat" sticker? It's really throwing me for a loop.
Would'ya call it a carpet ball?

That has to be one of the biggest lobed onionskins I have ever seen. If it were me I would put that boy in Morphys marble auction. A couple of years ago that marbles would have brought thousands nowadays I would think it would still bring over a thousand....Greg

Really would not be a good paperweight if it kept rolling off the papers.....12 lobed onionskin that big is a one rare piece of glass, all of the marbles I have that are big like that are polished smooth on the pontils.

The guy i got this from has a collection of them he got from his mom (he is in his late 60's), he wants to sell them. I wondered about the polished poles also. But he is looking for a number, because he doesn't know what they are worth (he says he has more like this in different designs). I am going to see the rest of them sunday after the show. I do know that his family comes from a small town, but were very well to do. He, from what i gather is kinda the black sheep, he is into antiques and is no dummy, we shall see.
