A carpet ball just like this is pictured on page 184 of Baumanss\'s 4th edition of Collecting Antique Marbles. However what makes this one even better? it is 2-3/8\" which would make it a lady\'s carpet balls, as the usual ones are 2-1/2\" or a little more. Fabulous find! You can see in the book what Baumann values this type at. this is in very nice condition. has some wear but nothing really serious, it is as one would expect. Looks about the same condition as the one pictured actually. Seller GENEROUSLY offering with ! it will be shipping priority with insurance, no exceptions. or overnight should buyer want it safer and sooner. shipping fees then will be different. if shipping is less than what I estimate, your invoicing will show that. If more, I pay the extra.

Grading..
Grading is subject to everyone\'s opinion. And yes, everybody has one. However, if you are offerding on my marbles, you are agreeing to my opinion on grading.
First... I do not grade with a 30X loupe. These were made as toys, not tiffanyart glass.
Many marbles will have factory defects and flaws, some companies more than others simply because of the glass or process used in manufacture.
Grading by numbers. I personally hate the numbers game, but many rely on it for grading info.
10. Not sure there is a perfect 10 marble. As close as I would get to this is \'dead mint\'. Meaning it is as perfect as the day it was made.
9.8 looks free of any pocket wear, or play damage, but could still have an as-made little glass flaw, or melted bubble pops, slight cold roll etc.
9.6 to 9.7. Looks fantastic, wet surface, but could have a minute pin prick, or a pin tip sparkle or two (as-made or not). or a very slight roller mark, etc.
9.2 to 9.5 Again, looks great in hand, but could have a tiny flea or two, a little pocket wear, maybe a really tiny subsurface crescent or two., as-made roller scuff etc. General speaking a NM+ to M-.
9.0 I consider this grade a NM to NM+, meaning the marble is still shiny, but will have some pocket wear, or some play damage somewhere, or a combination, yet still very displayable and collectible.
I try not to list anything reconditioned or below a 9.0 unless it is a rare example, or simply a consignors request to list, and I will show and describe the issues.
