Here's a few new ones.

those pink ones are opalescent. I have some modern marble kings. It will take a while to upload them here. What I like about the Facebook boards is that I don't need a photo host and the full size picture just posts straight from me to board.

Mine are all under glass and my 3 cats in the house can admire, but not play with them. Sometimes I drop new machine mades that I have in abundance and let them play. Cats are not my biggest problem handling marbles. it's the people who clink the marbles together. I cringe. So, I keep them under glass and hand them one by one to a looker.

At one time I had told my son to ask Alan Bassinette to help him if he wanted to sell mine, but that plan is null and void. I think my son and grandson will keep my marbles. The grandson has an interest.

That's great! His folks will not get cheated. We should all do that.

I would imagine Clyde left instructions. That's what all of you should do.

I think when David makes rams with fully smooth horns, no lines, and both sides curl, he is mature.

My sorting so far has been sorting for families of marbles. Occasionally, in sorting, I found a really good Ram and pulled it out and placed it with my lutz/frit marbles. They don't all have 2 horns perfectly formed. I need to look for more of those after I get through sorting by family. Good ones are in there. Some with one good horn and a partial horn on the other side are in there. Then there are young rams with very short horns.

There are lots of rams in my pictures. David is still working on getting the horns part melted in better. I love that he has a pattern no one else has done. True North all the way.

You are correct. It is. I haven't done any pics showing the the sides where you can see the ram's horns yet. For me, the way Linda and I handled this run was our True North and the way David worked at getting his rollers, cutters, tank, etc. marble patterns, and colors was David's true north. For a better explanation see JABOLAND. I posted Robb Forehand's explanation from research there because he said it better than I could.

Thank you Bob. I'm glad I posted. Sometimes we just have "those" days.
