"Club Nub ReRun" Size: 1.35" Price: SOLD


These 'ReRun' marbles were made during a special time when Mark got together with fellow marble legends Brett and Larry of Hot House Glass and marble enthusiast John McCormick in order to use leftover marble nubs in John's marbleous marble machine. This was their second annual run of these and I'm hoping they keep going! These 'nubs' are the leftover pieces of glass pulled off the end of a cane when a marble is being rounded out. Sometimes they are trashed, but Mark and the Hot House guys both have been saving theirs. With the help of John's machine, which takes hot glass chunks and rounds them into marbles, they were able to take groups of the marble nubs and then reconstitute them into new marbles after heating them up and dropping them into the machine. The results are suuuuuuper fun little marblicious bites of marble history which every collector needs in their collection! These are the types of things that make marble collecting SO fun - the various ingenious ways that the artists come up with to turn beautiful glass into even more beautiful spheres. Many of these marbles have a minor surface imperfection or two from the rounding process in the machine. Signed 'Matthews JM 2017'.
