I am originally from Michigan and I really do like winter - just not 5 months of it!

This is very cool, Art. I can just imagine you and the missus reenacting Saturday Night Fever. 😄

@disco005 The owl photos are great, Jess. They are such awesome creatures. We have several that visit our yard regularly and we love to listen to them "chatting" just after dark. I figure there are at least 6 or 7 of them out in the woods behind our house and when they get revved up, it is a beautiful thing to hear.

You are a very talented artist, Fire. This painting, in particular, really speaks to me.

It's as good as the day it arrived it, Joep, and I still love it. It is the first lamp we turn on in the morning and the last one we turn off at night, every single day. I kid you not. 🙂

This riddle has been on my desktop for years - I give up !
Ric replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in The Lounge
It's an old novelty card. The rider is on the back of the card. If you tie a string to each vertical edge and twirl it the rider appears to be on the Donkey. -
I believe those are modern Mexican or Asian marbles - generally called "confetti style", but aome might have names that I don't know. I think the likelihood of finding and authenticating a Vitro Confetti "in the wild" is slim to none.

My understanding is that "tweeners" describe some Peltier marbles that were produced during the transition from the classic NLRs to the more common Rainbos. Such marbles don't fit neatly into either the NLR or Rainbo category. I call this one is a tweener . . .

what is the term for the "caramel colored" spot on this Alley? thanks !!
Ric replied to DHUNNIE 27's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I don't think there is a specific term for that sort of thing. I would just call it an inadvertent second color. Sorta looks like a weak Strawberry Shortcake variant. -
AFAIK, Master has never been dug and Master errors are rare as hen's teeth.
-
Here is a 7/8" floral china that I don't think has made this thread yet . . .
-
That is really interesting, it seems like an "end of cane" or "error cane" marble, but I don't think I've ever seen another marble from a cane like that - unusual for sure, and very cool! @davesnothere That blue jelly is very nice!
-
Jumpin' Jimminy, Tommy, you found a dandy!
-
Thanks, Art. I think Vitro's very first Cat's Eyes had four wavy vanes but the vast, vast, majority of those I have seen are a single color. I think the majority of Vitro hybrids are 5 vanes, at least. And the glass, structure and color of this one has me leaning very hard toward Heaton.
-
The OP might be a Heaton . . .

I have a bunch of these and can't figure out what they are.
Ric replied to josiemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This is an original MK patch and ribbon style. I usually reserve the "newer" designation for those that were made later and have poles of the same color. -
Nice big Master. Quite a few were sold in Alox packaging.
-
These are sometimes referred to as Mt. Fujis. They were primarily packaged with Chinese checker games.
-
Very cool marble, Melissa!
-
Cool mib, I once found a cache of similar ones with a few different colors in the clear - I'll have to see if I can find them.
-
The B® is nice but that larger one is a dandy!
-
More Vintage Shooters - Vitro, Pelt, Mk etc
Ric replied to I'llhavethat1's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
That's a nice bunch of marbles - some very cool Vitros in the group! -
That's an excellent array!

Imagine taking two colored balls of clay and mushing them together into one larger ball. You should be able to see the interface between the two glass globs on a marble like you would see in the two-color clay orb. Many times there will also be a slight create at the interface
