3 nice Alley marbles. A friend put an addition on his house last winter and marbles like both of these were dug up in his yard. He lives in Pennsboro. In Six, Metzler,and Johnson,they tell a story of a woman who worked for Alley Agate. On cold days, she took pockets full of marbles to keep her hands warm. She then threw the marbles out on her lawn. This house is where these mibs were found.

One of those Kokomo's is posted on the right end of the last full row of marbles on the Kokomo page at joemarbles.com. I bet someone can get Chuck to tell the story of how these marbles were finally broadly IDed....

You are correct! I see the Kokomos!

They are all Pelt.

You are correct...mica it was...both green and blue...

Any Tank Wash?

I told ya! And there are lots with the clear glass.

Not all are Vitro!

Marbles very similar to that are in some other runs too.

That is it!

Burt Cohen might be able to help.

Nice

GREAT JOB CRAIG and LEROY!

I am very pleased for the Aggies and ND. Both Edna's Alma Mater and mine played last night. I might have missed it Al, but did your Alma Mater play last night? I would have rooted for them too.

Congrats to the Lady Aggies, Edna, Steph, Calvin, Donnie and all the other special Aggie supporters.

Does anyone know this man? Did he name the Parrot? "About Me: callbobby( 1123) I love going to garage sales in the early morning and rushing to try and be the first in line to get the good stuff. It's a little difficult doing this because i live in the upstate woodlands of New York State and there are no sales around me, which means i need to travel down to 1 of the cities which surround my area . My 1st love was with Marbles . I stated by reading what i could get my hands on and then going to the major marble shows. I met Bob,Stan and Mrs Block and got to be good friends with them and sold many marbles through their auction catalogs as well as at the shows that my " Cousin " Bert Cohen set up in Marlborough Mass . This is also where i met and became good friends with Larry Castle and Marlow Peterson and picked their brains for knowledge . Beverly .. became an excellent friend and we discussed many things over the internet . I became buddies with Dennis Webb of Greenburg Guide to Marbles when i sent him an undiscovered bag of factory produced marbles which had not come to the suface over his many years of being in the marbles hobby & business . I did writing of articles for the Marble Collectors Society Of America and became very well known for my research into how certain marbles came into being . I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT " I NAMED THE PARROT MARBLE " , It happened when Bob Block was standing in back of me looking at my marbles at the Marlborough Mass. Show . Needless to say that when all the marble books suddenly hit the market and the dealers got hold of them , the ease of acquiring decent marbles became almost impossible without paying well increased prices , so it seemed time to expand and get into other fields as well as marbles . I did operate a marble polishing/grinding machine for a few years and was 1 of the first to do so in New York State . The most recent thing to happen is that my friend Hansel has worked with the JABO CO. and created a new marble called " Eagle " . Turns out that a bunch of my friends were there with Dave making all kinds of new JABO marbles . There...gee..now you know who i know and that should give you a good idea of my socialization . "

Jack, I think David has gone into retirement for what he believesare ethical issues. But you can contact him on facebook where you are friends.

Happy St. Paddy's and Happy Birthday to an old timer.

Whatever this mib is amde of,it is not Elastolin.

Cohill?

I wouldn't use a cloth like that because it is polishing, but I did go look them up on eBay and you can buy that sort of thing from $1 to $5. I also know that you can buy various colors of jewelers rouges at Sears in stick form. They are commonly used for polishing antique brass door knobs etc.

-40 is not a temperature. It is a crime!
