Over 600 beautiful color photographs explore the fascinating art of encasing molded sulphide figures in glass marbles. Encased in clear or colored glass, molded sulphides come in many clever forms, including animals, birds, humans, mythological creatures, religious figures, mermaids, celebrities, and angels. Included with the fascinating images is a detailed text recounting the history and manufacturing techniques of sulphide marbles. Bibliography, appendices (featuring useful information about seeking marbles on the Internet, seeking marble shows and clubs), index, and tables with values by size and condition are included. This book is a must for all glass, marble, and toy fanciers, collectors, and dealers.

Sulphide Marbles,
By
This review is from: Sulphide Marbles (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Consider this a minor review. I bought this book for my girlfriends birthday. I have paged through it to check it out but I have not read it cover to cover.
This book seems to have very detailed information and also seems to cover everything a sulphide marble collector would need to know. I am very happy to have this book and I know for sure that my girlfriend will love it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
