A few years back the wife and I found some cans of “Spotted Dick with Cream” at the local grocery store. We were laughing so hard people were giving us weird looks🤣🤣 and no, we didn’t buy a can.

Maybe Vacor? Looks new to me...🤔

Got one in a bigger version.

The day will come when we need to downside likewise. Not looking forward to it myself....”it’s not hoarding if your stuff is really cool”.🤣🤣🤣

We built the house with displays in mind. My wife has 4 large displays of her perfume bottles as well. i had a bunch of AKRO glass that was sitting in storage, recently sold, except for the ashtrays. Blenko glass has a lot more impact when displayed, IMHO. i still pick up the occasional piece when the $ is right.

They are all military, mostly theater-style handmade. I have other collections that require space.

Here are mine, not all marbles.

Interested, also located in the Seattle area. Happy to take a look-see at what you have. Brad

I bought one in 2008 near Sistersville, made by a guy with initials “TT“. Tommy Thornton?? It was on the bottom of the figure, a gnome, in amber glass with white wisps. Fooled a number of people. waiting to look at a group locally, cautious as I know little about them.

Thanks Ron!!
-
Awesome, thanks guys!!!
-
Agreed!!

Here’s mine. The blue “8” is machinemade, the other 3 are hand faceted. I wonder, is it harder to make a large, or small, marble?

Remove the single blue bands, increase it to 1” and whaddya get?

We live up in Poulsbo.

I have two of these in my display case, beautiful mibs. -
Handmade aggies roll funny, wobbling around, stopping on a flat spot. My largest is around 1.5”, smallest is 1/2”. Found a jar of 30 for $30 a few years back.

Thanks Ron... A very cool marble regardless.

Thanks! This one is translucent.

What is the difference between translucent and opalescent?

Thanks guys, certainly a strange one. The colors and striations made me think MK.
