  1. Neat bunch, the green and brown one with the blow-hole looks cool!
  2. Santa's (Rich's) site has lots of JABO pics too - including the Classics, by year. http://www.santasbling.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=5&Itemid=53
  3. No problem, thank you for reminding me how to spell "Chaulky"!
  4. God's honest truth, Bruce - I had my Gramp's catcher's mitt, signed by the Babe - Mom sold it at a garage sale! Do you know me? Yeah, I would love that sweater!
  5. Look above the pic - lol Calling @wvrons and @mibcapper - they've got all the good ones!
  6. Thanks for the consolation, Bruce - even the Babe struck out once in a while! The guy I called Grandpa is on the right (Al DeVormer).
  7. A pretty good approximation - I like it! Nice, a little extra in the base glass.
  8. I agree, a little less patch and a little more 'burst!
  9. That's a good point, they really are pretty similar.
  10. Thanks, Ron. Is there a badge for "Total Topic Fail"?😂
  11. Because of the striping pattern, I'm thinking. Vacor.
  12. Oh wow! That really is amazing. I can only imagine the technique involved in forming the letters. Unbelievable talent on display here!
  13. It reminds me a bit of a Santa Claus But I do think they are different marbles.
  14. These are often referred to as Birds in Fire Tree marbles. They are thought to date to the 1930s. You can find the same motif in aquarium pieces or paperweights from the period. You can find a little info about them in this newsletter from the Marble Collectors Society of America. Has anyone ever seen a pontil on one of these marbles? I am pretty sure mine has been polished and I wonder if examples of these "marbles" were actually produced or if they were really ground from other objects. What do you think? Does anyone have other examples to share?
  15. Like me . . . call me anything you want, just don't call me late for dinner!
