I finally got a Julia Powell marble on eBay at a price I could afford. Does anyone know who the marble maker is? Something is etched on the bottom, but it is so faint that I cannot make it out.

Don't know who made it but is it a painted cat on the surface? Looks great!

It's most likely Sammy Hogue. BUT LAST SEPTEMBER, Eddie Seese made her a special offer on marbles. it would be signed "FES" Francis Edward Seese. If it's Sammy, his recent ones have the whole name. If it's earlier it will say "SLH".

We have been away from the Marble game for quite awhile but we still have an awesome collection. Along with our collection, we have a large collection of nice contemporary marbles from most of the top artists of the day. This is the first that I have seen etched marbles. They are beautiful. Now my question, You state that you finally got a Julia Powell marble but cannot read who signed it, unless there are 2 signitures or I am blind, it very clearly says--o9 Julia Powell. The marble I am looking at is the etched cat. Does Julia Powell work for a company and that signiture is also on the marble somewhere? Snootysnaffles

Welcome back, Snootysnaffles!
The artist, Julia Powell, paints her pictures on the surface of the marbles (they are not etched). You are correct, that is her signature that you see. She uses marbles made from contemporary makers, as Edna explained above. Sammy Hogue's signature is etched on the bottom of the marble. It is not visible in either of the pics I posted. |
