Never seen this one…

My “top shelf” AKROs.

Holding pens for mibs…

Cold here as well… oops, that’s Celsius..🙃🙃🙃 I feel warmer now.

Crazy to find a nice sparkler in a group of cats.

Mini-find today, in a bag of cats. i gave the rest of the bag to a guy carrying 2 jars of marbles to the cashier.

I look for individual mibs in a jar. Price the mibs as compared to the jar price. Excess mibs get bagged to give to kids at local antique shows. Most kids hate going to shows with their parents, so getting a free bag of mibs makes them happy. I add cigar boxes as I have them for storage. keeps my excess down and salts the community for when I start selling my collection.

Rick is sending it back to me. I will take it to Dani to get her opinion, plus the other 2 I have for verification. I promised Rick a gifted black clown, and I will deliver. (If Dani says I actually have one…🥴) stay tuned.

Just don’t sell it…

Looks like an Alley ox to me.

I passed on photos to Dani Kirk for her take.

Neither sale looks remotely similar to what I gave Rick….

Except the one I gave Rick has no blow holes, only some dimples. post your link.

Alan, the marble came out of an old collection, no cats eyes, Chinese, or vacors. The previous owner collected them as a child, he’s now 80. One of the other clowns I posted (with the blowholes) was in the collection. i gifted it to Rick, along with a dozen other pelts… still pondering it. it may take some in-hand reviews to determine what it really is…

I sent it to Rick. I had previously showed you all 3 I had, and you never mentioned Vacor? All 1”

Did some research, may need to go back and grab the lot. The dealer had a bunch of jars/rollers at reasonable prices, bought one of each. will post my finds later.

How about showing them here first? Most(🤣) of us are ethical…

Stickers come off easily. Local antique store in Seattle.

Seller has maybe 10 poly bags, will go $10/bag. any interest?

Let me know if you need more.👍

Pelt???🤔 did you mean JABO?

Made it! Pyrex is left, Brookfield is right.

I need to go downstairs for the glass knob, also got 2 insulators!

It has been great fun! Some pieces I bought at current retail but I thoroughly enjoyed owning them. The wife is now saying wait a minute, I really like that piece!😜

My wife has talked about me downsizing some of my collections for years. I finally agreed to sell some Blenko, since it takes up a large part of the house. She posted pics on Facebook Marketplace and the Blenko collectors group. She immediately got slammed with hundreds of queries😝. She has been swamped with negotiations, sales, and shipping. I got to sit back and collect the $. definitely the way to go…🧐 canes and knives are next. marbles will probably go last since they take up the least space.
