Bupkis in my collection😱

Got one here, thanks. Although it is propane. We have been without power since 6AM, glad we have a generator and a 1,000gal storage tank. the pups are resting in Mom’s lap, all 5 of them.

Won’t load?

I’d go for both, plus a nice chianti🤣

The ROARING 20’s are back upon us!! Imagine collecting mibs 100 years ago🤔 I keep asking Santa Claus for a time machine...

My resolution is to clean out my collection, and FOCUS on my favorites. I have had the hoarder mentality for far too long, buying all vintage mibs regardless. I have recently been giving away small bags to kids at local antique shows to help keep the hobby alive. (Along with a cigar box to keep them in. Another bad habit...) i also throw mibs around at local playgrounds, in the tradition of Galen.

Thank you very much!!! i have this website saved for frequent reference.

Sad to hear this😢

Merry Xmas Steph, I hope you had a great day👍👍 thank you for keeping the hobby alive.

Nicely done!

Haha “cave-man” noises... Tim the tool-man comes to mind. that top mib is a killer!!!!

Thanks for the laugh👍😁

I have seen those in a lot of those in the western Washington area. we had a collapse of antique stores during 08-16, but things seem to be picking up.

Great piece at a super price! Most I see in my area are $400++

Steph, you start a business based on this concept... I know my wife would buy it!

To clarify, I have been collecting these items for 25+years... the marbles started with a group of Vacor meteor marbles in early 2000 I received from my MIL.

Knives, especially military theater-made razors folkart, political, and gadget canes blenko Art glass US 1800’s private tokens political medals and a few more my wife doesn’t know about🤣 I rarely buy off the internet, otherwise I’d go broke.

You just have to hunt more, with more things to collect. I have 7 or 8 collections, so I usually find something in every store.

Awesome find! I double check every jar I see, it only takes one mib to make me giddy😁

This is 13/16”. Looks like a single-seam, dragonfly or? IMG_5436.MOV

eBay seller I bought my displays from. He can do custom orders as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OAK-small-MARBLE-1-2-9-16-DISPLAY-CASE-HOLDS-189/120410910529?hash=item1c090caf41:g:ip0AAMXQmWdRGd0p

A typical evening at the new house... I need to make sure there are no eagles or waterfowl around first, that would be a big issue with some neighbors.

Just unpacked a moving box from 2 years back, found my old wristrocket slingshot. Suddenly all common mibs look like “ammo”...🤔

Nicely done!
