  1. I agree! There's lots of good stuff here. I'd say our first Thüringen Thursday was a great success!
  2. I have no idea who made any of these. If you might, please let me know! I found them in a large collection I purchased many years ago. I don't think they are the best of examples, might be seconds or something?
  3. Really nice marble, Allen, it's got so much depth it almost doesn't look round!
  4. Nice marbles, and congratulations on the "Double A" find!
  5. I don't generally hold on to Vacors, although I have saved a few that spoke to me. These might be a little older but I really don't know much about them.
  6. View of town Oberstein, bridge and Crag Church, and view of the agate and jasper gemstone polishing mill. Hand-colored steel engraving from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History, Paris, 1834.
  7. It's always cool to see cullet and matching marbles, and this is a great example - all the colors are there.
  8. I am pretty sure it is inner painting (Chinese, nèihuà), where paint is applied to the inside of a hollow glass object (globe, bottle, etc.). As far as I know, it is a fairly common form of art in China.
  9. I could see CAC too.
  10. This is so cool, Ron - my next birthday card? lol "Special Birthday Teas Served" - Oh boy, we're partying now!
  11. You're showing some super examples, Ron - I especially like the latticino in green glass. The horizontal swirl is awesome too, but is it German?
  12. Those are dandy big ones, Ron. Did you by chance get them from another Ron?
  13. That's a nice colorful assortment!
  14. The transparent swirls can be tough, especially the ones that are, essentially, slags. I'd probably stay with Alley. Transparent Ravenswoods are usually a bit more sparse. Regardless, it's nice batch-glass white swirl.
  15. That's a pretty marble and great photo too!
  16. Hmmm . . . "for your German marbles and related items" - I guess this fits. lol
