Contemporary Sulphides by Jim Davis

marbles, glass, sulphide, Jim Davis, contemporary, collectibleI met Jim Davis a few years ago at a marble show and he told me that he made just two of these train sets. My grandson Jacob is now the proud owner of this set of 2" marbles.

The train looks amazing. How does the marble maker not melt or destory the toy train piece or any object inserted when the marble is made?

A simple answer is the marble makers use high fire clay for the figurine. This is a good question though, so I'll explain more in an upcoming posting of a sulphide.

Wow I thought I had the only colored train set by Andy. I bought it directly from Andy and it is in mint condition. The Davis brothers were and are very talented individuals.

I only know of two colored train sets made by Andy davis
