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
here's the only marbles i have....i know, i know....40s and common....except the large aqua one its not a marble its a rolled up piece of glass from the railroad tracks
This lady who had the slew of bottles I looked at today, also had a bunch of marbles. 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?

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.
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.
