This lot, A MARBLE CONSIGNMENT , consists of a 1-9/16" (40 mm) hand made "Quadruple Ribbon Core" (ca. 1850-1870) in Near Mint (8.4) condition with a few pinprick flakes and a subsurface moon/reflection, as well as general wear and pinpricking (examined, as always, under 20-power magnification with strong lighting). It has a cage of outer yellow strands and bands spiraling around four very closely spaced interior ribbons, two each of blue/pink/white and turquoise/pink/white. The basal pontil is ground with faceting, the earliest finishing technique for hand made glass marbles. I ship U.S.P.S. First Class (Priority for selected heavier or larger packages) within the United States; my fee for this is $4.20. This amount includes Delivery Confirmation, and covers the first $100 of insurance should your package become lost (almost never happens) or damaged (hasn't happened yet). If you wish additional insurance, please add $1.00 per $100 wanted to your invoice, and make sure to alert me in the message box. Please do not pay before receiving an invoice from me if you win multiple auctions, as I will always combine shipping fees to save you money; the invoice sent by eBay will charge you separate fees for each item. International Bidders: Please contact me for shipping rates to your country if we have not done business before. I will read more
