I think they are all vitro. I have several like your # 5 where the ribbons are of two colors. I supposed you could call it a two colored whitie or you could call it a tiger eye. It's yours so you can decide. Edna

That second one with white ribbons in the equator is a tiger eye. Some of my favorite tiger eyes are the ones that have expensive white glass veneered at the equator. That's a nice one. Edna

The marble is a little over 2 inches in diameter. Weldon loved color and he would really like this marble.

This is the bottom of the marble and you can see his signature "Alloway", and 2011, and # 1

Last week I received a beautiful marble and a wonderful note from James Alloway. He has named a newly created marble in memory of Weldon. He sent me # 1 of that marble and he named it "Weldon's World."

I am sorry to hear this. I will certainly watch for certain marbles that i gave Bo. I will know them.

Rich, you are getting some mail. A TMCI Newsletter is on the way to your address.

Expect some mail.

I know it's not marbles, but there are 3 degrees from Texas A & M in my family. I am proud of the lady Aggie basketball team. They beat Notre Dame 76-70. They won the National Championship. Go Aggies! And I don't mean marbles.

Me too. I just now got on. 3:28 CST

I am drooling all over my keyboard.

When I started buying on ebay, there was somebody selling Peltiers in a film can with the Peltier Indian glued on the top of the can. He was up front about making the cans. I wanted one to keep Peltiers in. I bid several times and lost. Finally I emailed him and offered to buy one with just the can, no marbles. He made one for me. I can't remember his name. He's probably still around. Maybe one of you bought a can of Peltiers. i still have that can and have peltier marbles displayed in it. That guy never claimed it was the real thing, just a nice container for marbles.

Enjoyable read!

It's good to know where they live.

I have some like the ones Bo had. Mine are torch made by a well known West Virginian. I suspect Bo's are the same.

What was it before it was a marble?

Yes, they are. They are not all alike either. Some look like oval or round stones and some look like chips.

Pendant Rich made and gave to me.

Opal pendant like the one Bryan Kitson made while Joseph and I watched.

The hollow marblel Rich made while Joseph and I watched.

Rich made the marble on the left and Joseph made the marble on the right.
