I bought the bag at our local depression glass club show, the seller is a longtime Fenton collector. king of funny since Fenton was the primary source for cullet, along with vitrolite, for most marble companies.

Ok, thanks! Cheap education. Our depression glass club had a show at Kent Commons yesterday. The local bottle collectors club also had a show across the hall, found these and a nice Novelty straight razor.

How can you tell the difference on the insulators?

These bags were supposedly available only at the 2005 celebration event. (At least that is what I was told) no product codes or price on the label.

So there is documented Jabo runs using opal glass?

Opalescent base, white threads and oxblood. Thinking Jabo? 5/8”. Maybe Vacor?

Can’t seem to find any info on it online. Don’t remember seeing a 40 count box before either. it is short a few mibs, just like my brain:).

A pair of corks! left is opalescent with2 faint purple snakes. the right is an auger, kind of blue/blue. Hard to photo the internals.

Most of my other collections were also found in the wild. Nothing beats the thrill of the hunt. Keeps the mind sharp and away from the bars. I keep most for 10-20 years, until it’s time to find a new caretaker.

I don’t buy off eBay anymore, however I will buy off Bob Blocks auctions. i greatly prefer the hunt where you can handle the merchandise. 95% of what I have was hunted.

The wife says no to chickens😢

Ingots are tricky.

My tequila doesn’t come in a bag…😢

I hope you are drinking the crown royal🤣🤣🇺🇸

That was my nickname in the navy, 1975-1980. Had in embroidered in my coveralls.

Not sure it actually got sold, look at the bidders.

Hers one on eBay that alarmed me, a $30 mib. https://www.ebay.com/itm/355361602795?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q9oJjtcQQea&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bXaTUpW8TnK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

We talk a lot about mibs but never about pricing. Is this a verboten topic? I think a lot of people would benefit form unbiased pricing. eBay auctions have gone off the rails on fake sales. We need to educate members on actual pricing to prevent fraud, and turning people away from collecting. what are your best sites for pricing checks? I like granpamarbles as they show sold prices.

In your dreams buddy🤣

New or old?

I hope you are happy with the other marbles I gifted you.

So, what is it if it has both a surface and core snake?

Verified by Dani and Ernie to be a 15/16” Peltier clown. Color, glass, and pattern.

Weird that the IAMC website is dead. A single announcement for the 2022 show? what is going on with IAMC?
