marble king shooter st marys wv

[duffytrash]

found this awesome 1 inch shooter today yard salein...its in green glass and the orange/blue is whats called the signature cateye...at this plant in 56 at st marys wv the american cateye machine was developed to compete with the japanese marble market...this is only the second one of this type ive seen and is listed in the books as too rare to value...the majority of this marble was made in the 11/16 size...is unbelievable in hand..its hard to get a picture of this ......ive tried maybe 2 dozen pics and this is the best i can get...its almost factory mint with only 1 small sparkle...

Congratulations Duffy, that is one sweet looking marble.

Let me say that it could not have happened to a nicer guy with a huge heart. I am very glad to see you find a very rare and nice marble. Hope you have many many more of them waiting for you to find them.

That was a keeper when it was new.
Now it's a classic keeper.

Duffy,
What a cool find, and as always, great info too. I've never seen a marble with so many colors. Congrats on a wonderful find.
Is it possible to give a ballpark figure of what it may be worth?
Thanks for the post, and don't EVER leave TN. We would be lost without the Marble Man.
