No it has been started yet but it's time. winnie

Yes you are right about your ID, nice Pelts! I don't know the thread of mibs for winter,maybe someone else knows,or do you mean the color of the month thread? We sure must have a December color. winnie

mucho color. winnie

I think I found one. winnie

Well thats fine if you as a collector can tell the difference from a new Jabo or an old WV swirl, but I'll bet the salesman on a flea market or an antique store can't see in most cases if they're new Jabo's or old WV swirls,and you can blame him for it.

Yes I like old marbles and I like the history of them. I didn't say this one is not good looking in fact this one looks great to me. What I meant to say after seen this marble is,if I want to buy vintage WV swirls than Ebay is the place for me and I can't anymore after seen this marble tell from pictures if they are new Jabo's or old WV swirls. If you live in America maybe you folks can tell the difference with them in hand. winnie

OK I'm done,I will not buy any more vintage VW swirls out of America,no way that I can tell the difference old or new from pictures. I've seen the same thing happened with old bicuit dolls to much repro's. winnie

Hi Steph,they all are one inch exept for tho ox-lemonade and the red yellow popeye. winnie

Some more Euro flamey type swirl winnie

some Autumn slags. winnie

Great flames folks! Euro swirl 13/16

Yes Ric,I only found 2 one seam transparant striped German machien-made marbles. Here is one,you can see the seam in the bottom picture. This one is 1 inch so is the blue and green one I 've posted earlier. winnie

German striped opaque winnie

LOL Buddy,actually it's here also still pretty green,we had a wonderful summer. winnie

Autumn in Amsterdam. winnie

Have a wonderful B-day Steph and many more. winnie

Indeed it's difficult to tell exactly the differences between all the sparkler types,in general the colors of Euro sparklers are a bit clearer (not always). winnie

Here are some Euro sparklers to compare,some have orange peel and others are smooth as a babyface. winnie

And some more,because i really like them. winnie

Great Masters everyone,I like them very much. winnie

Not sure about your question,but is this what you are looking for? winnie

Here are some old wirepulls,maybe some one else could post some new ones. winnie

Here are some of mine,I like the Vitro's with the threads,looks a bit like the injected method to me. winnie
