    There’s were in a single bag, 1/4” to 1/2”. The largest has the blue star embossed on it, with remnants of an orange star on the reverse. Don’t remember seeing this type before…

    Here are pics of the whole box. 80% will be going to kids at the next antique show. The remainder go into the collection. There were roughly 2 dozen German swirls, mostly smalls. there is also a 1” onion skin that has many many hits. Wounded warrior…

    The two Peltier clowns are 31/32”. Not Novas, IMHO.

    I can’t find my Dean Six book either…🤣🤣 paul’s book is about $40 now on Amazon😢 thanks Buddy. I haven’t been to a show in years where there was a large selection to check pricing. The wife and I are talking about Vegas this year, definitely going to the July show in SeaTac, WA.

    I just remembered I had given away my Baumann’s 4th Ed to a young child at a pre-Covid antique show, along with a big bag of marbles🤯. so, I need to update… suggestions appreciated. Looking to cover all types, with $ ranges if available. Thanks!

    Excellent results! do you have contact info for anyone still polishing? My last batch was 15 years ago, can’t remember who did it.🤯

    This donut bullseye is 1-3/4”. (Found a measuring tape) I do not collect chinas, but this one stood out due to its size. Looked online and found nothing similar. It has crazing, so thinking it is not a contemporary. black with the outer bands being dark blue.

    Has anyone polished a Leighton? about 1-1/4” I think. On vacation, so no Calipers.

    Old time “collection” stars: more to follow… bullseye is ~1-1/2” Leighton is ~1/14” Also included 2 Peltier clown boulders

    we harvested 4 dozen oysters Monday. Bbq’d 2 dozen for dinner, passed the other 2 to our uphill neighbor. They gave us a load of fresh razor clams the previous week. not eating seagulls, however geese are viable, having eaten seaweed for weeks. geoducks are still growing, got a couple years before we harvest.

    Same here, but a cigar. Morning here is not so peaceful, it starts before sunrise with the geese and seagulls, then the dogs start whining to get fed, then the parrots follow suit. After that, things mellow out.

    I was the first in 3 generations to serve in the 70’s. And the last, except for my new son-in-law, who was a Navy seal. god bless those who served and sacrificed for the USA.

    I tried this with some regular floor wax, it tended to melt when you touched it, or the house got warm…

    We have some good ones here. But all I found was a bucket of clams🥴

    I have walked away from some mibs only to regret it later. I have also bought mibs, only to regret it later…. as long as you learn from your mistakes, it is good.

    Probably the first time I’ve seen Ron at a loss for words🤔

    I have hundreds of “beginners” like this. Great introduction to collecting.

    That one made me laugh, thanks! I can literally visualize it!

    You didn’t pay too much if you are happy with it!!! ”Buy it when you see it. It is always an education”

    I was thinking possible “Brody” knob, but the large thread negates that.
