  1. Can you imagine that on a drug store facade!
  2. And you may want to look close at the black in sunlight to check for AV sparkles.
  3. I agree. It definitely helps when you show any seams.
  4. I wondered about that the minute I posted, it's really exquisite.
  5. Wow, the one with the agate blade and green dyed agate ball is awesome!
  6. I was under the impression that some stone, maybe even marble, was imported to Germany. Does anyone else have ideas about this?
  7. The only Pelt I see is upper left. The rest appear to be West Virginia Swirls. Pelts will most often have 4 ribbons running seam to seam - two on each half of the marble.
  8. That looks like a CAC to me.

    Vitro...

    Maybe a Duolite?
  10. Nice marble. Not CAC, more likely Alley, I think.
  11. You definitely found a good one, James!
  12. Manufacturers' QC processes made them rare, no doubt.
  13. Great marble, Chad - way to start the day!
  14. It's a pretty crazy thought but the chocolate covered marbles have me thinking about a candy coating.
  15. Marbles are toys first, and they need to roll straight. I am sure that was and is the most important thing for any manufacturer.
  16. I think purple on Pelts is very uncommon, in general.
  17. Can you clarify this Art? Do you mean 75 augers to one spiral or vice versa?
  18. I found a red one in with my clearies.
  19. As far as I know, MFC bricks are oxblood and it is also found on old German handmades like this one . . .
  20. Here is a good pic Gladys posted that shows oxblood. Once you've seen it in hand, you'll not forget it.

    I'm so proud

    Well, she should not want for toys. I had a friend whose cat would sit on the back of the couch and bat a wad of paper you pitched to her. She would do it for like an hour, and she never missed. Her name was Babe.
