  1. 1 of the kids is a Cub Scout, and his dad talked about a merit badge for marbles, so I had to give both him and his wife bags to practice. Their response was priceless.
  2. We did a show this weekend, gave away 30+ bags of mibs to kids. Also had a guy spend better part of an hour going thru my stash, it was great fun.
  3. This is confusing, I have lots of multi-colored swirls, but the middle one has an NLR pattern, with buttcrack.
  4. Digging thru boxes, and rediscovered these. Been a while, and I get confused🥴 my ID’d NLRs are all opaque glass, so clear glass throws me off. opinions are welcome.
  5. Great photos! Need more pics of this one!!
  6. How common is this? I wonder how/what glass was used
  7. Got the new black light, was rechecking my mibs. this was in a jar of give-away mibs, slated to be gifted to kids at the next antique show. Thought it was a common clearie. No idea on the maker. need to keep looking.
  8. Ya can’t ever forget the smell of dissecting frogs in biology class🤮
  9. Got a piece I need to test…
  10. How do you tell the difference between Bakelite and lucite?
  11. Normally that award goes to you, Chad. You must be slipping? Or occupied chasing clowns?🤣🤣🤣🤣
  12. Chad, I found 2 Pelt 31/32” black-based clowns in the group from Arizona. Already had the one in the center. Willing to sell/trade the 2 on the right. I have no idea on value…
  13. We also bought 30 keychain UV lights to sell at shows. About $1.30 each, sell for $3.
  14. Just ordered two as well! The wife collects cut crystal perfume bottles, loves the UV pieces.
  15. Blenko typically made pieces that are probably twice as heavy as the other makers. The newer pieces are thinner due to increased production costs.
  16. Built like a truck, probably weighs 5lbs. 16” tall, we also have its little sister at 12”.
  17. Thanks, Chad. also snagged 2 nice pieces of Blenko. Left 1 in Spokane at the MILs apartment. here is the other, an epergne in seeded chartreuse. Early 50’s I think.
  18. Went to an antique show in Spokane, all from the same dealer, plus an Italian stiletto and a threaded barrel for one of my other hobbies. assuming the 2 small knobs are for window levers? can’t remember who made the marble…🤯 about 13/16”
  19. I use the pistol cases, around 50 mibs per case.
  20. We’ve had “lots of bubbles”, “pieces of firebrick”, “metallic adds”, figured maybe something new would cause people to do a deep dive in the collections…. I’ve got a “Hershey’s kiss” drizzle in mine somewhere, I need to go find to join the drizzle post.
  21. Who’s got the largest bubble in a marble? here is my entry in a 5/8” brushed patch. Hard to photo because it is so large.
