I currently have a “giclee print” from a well-known artist, waiting for him to authenticate it. It will be interesting to get his response. He is known for not producing prints of his original works. His gallery is in Santa Fe.

Scary to be so close to American made.

Don’t know dating but the “spotted Dick” is humorous. It is a UK pudding in a can, you can also buy “spotted Dick with Cream”. My wife lost it in the grocery store when I showed her a can🤣🤣🤣

Wait for Al to chime in before you open it…

I talked to my wife about getting some chickens… the look in your last picture was her response. So, no chickens here.

You haven’t aged a day, buddy!!

You have a very talented granddaughter!!👍👍

Found this sale on eBay… https://www.ebay.com/itm/225323329748?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4g13AvzRQO6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bXaTUpW8TnK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Didn’t see that coming…

Famous quote- “ it is hard to teach someone a concept/idea when their livelihood depends on them not knowing it.”

Just got a call from my handler, I have to move now, my cover has been blown…🫣

You realize CSI can id you thru the fingerprint on the second photo? I always wear gloves since I’m in the WPP…🤣🤣🤣 happy Friday everyone!

What camera/lens are you using? The first pic distorts the marbles at each edge into ovals….thought my eyes were going bad🥴

Early AKRO 1”, identified by Dani and Ernie. I had it in my Japanese group.

Just noticed on eBay, 10 atmospheres have been listed by a single seller. Not sure if they are real or not.

Thanks for responding, Ron. Not sure, haven’t seen them in person yet. A large group of mibs listed on Craigslist for $15, waiting for a response from the seller.

I think my thing is the thrill of the hunt, be it marbles, Blenko, canes, knives, etc. it started with my grandparents things, a small box of marbles, an old pocket knife… we also like to buy low and sell high when the time comes. Our kids want nothing, except my guns which they aren’t getting. Those will go to our executor as payment for having to deal with our kids crap when the time comes.

Got them installed, although some unexpected issues. I have to tilt the new displays a little to be able to open the plexiglass. The high density spacing limits my ability to grab a marble for closer inspection, fat fingers syndrome. the bigger issue is deciding how to arrange mibs in all the displays. I hope to pull most of my better mibs out of cases and closets…

They were headed for the game marble box, almost missed them.

The 2 yellow I posted on the vitro thread…👍

Thank you Ron! I will print this out and keep it with the marbles.

Thanks Al! I first had it in mind that I got them from you, apparently not. we”ll wait for Ron to chime in.
