Steph, the shooters don't look right to me either. The smaller marbles look like moss agates. Have you tried a black light on them? Some of the little ones don't look right either. I' m writing about the top row of small marbles on each side. Edna

Weldon helped me find it, Al. It is the same bag you show. In our bag there are 2 blue, 2 green, 1 red, 1 yellow. Edna

Al, mine is packed away too. I'll have to get Weldon to look in the packed away bags. The marbles look like what I'm talking about, but I don't recall the details of the bag. Got ours in West Virginia at an antique store in Ritchie county. They had several and we bought one for Randy Gossett too. Edna

I found this thread going through Scoops "Just Curious". Guess I missed it when it was new. I have a vitro original bag of those. They are in assorted colors in the bag. Also come in red, blue, green, and you can see a "V" in each one of them. All shooter size. Edna

Thank you Elizabeth. Edna

This news came across CNN last night. So sad! A horrible loss. Sissy

Alan, isn't it illegal to own one of those patches for every week of the year? Beautiful! Edna

Our sister-in-law who is Japanese, brought Weldon some cat eyes from Japan in the late 1990's while on a visit to her family there. I know they have been around a while. She brought 5/8 and also some nearly an inch. They do look a lot like our cateyes. Sissy

I hope mine comes Tuesday. I ordered it when Andrea posted about it. Sissy

I was watching the marble too. But---- I already have one and I thought the price was going too high for me. Congrats on the marble. Sissy

I can't say they're not Jabo, but I've looked at all of mine and I don't find any that exactly match in color. I have some that are close, but don't have the striping yours have. Edna

Weldon and I bought some of the finest Akro and Peltier marbles in our collection from Mel. Once we even accidentally stole his black light. While looking at his marbles in the Tulsa show, Weldon picked up his small light. I asked is that yours and Weldon said yes. Mel didn't know who got the light, but was really angry that it had been stolen. When we reached our car, we decided we wanted another of his marbles so our friend went back to purchase it. Mel had packed up his marbles and gone to his room. His buddy said he was "pissed that somebody stole his blacklight." Our friend came back to the car and asked if we wanted him to go to Mel's room. I picked up the blacklight and looked at it. I opened the battery compartment and the batteries were PINK. I knew we didn't have pink batteries. I looked further in Weldon's little black bag and found our blacklight. The blacklight was returned to Mel, the marble purchased and we never lived that down. Mel always greeted Weldon with "there's the man that stole my blacklight" We'll sure miss him. Edna

Weldon and I are so sorry to hear this news. Edna
