Nice marbles! Here's a few Alleys.

I'd like to see a pic too. . . the only cats I've ever seen that size are Marble Kings.

Yup, It was a nice show . . . well organized and a great venue. My son and I had a super time. There were plenty of nice marbles, and lots of buying and selling going on even though it was a smaller event. I picked up some real dandies . . snagged this Ravenswood from one of the several walk-ins - it's a killer, even if it is a bit rough.

Happy Birthday Weldon! Sorry I'm late but I have a good excuse . . . I was marbling at the Southern Indiana show. lol I hope you had a great one!

Happy Birthday Steve! -Ric

Red, White and Blue it is! -Ric

Here are a few. There might even be some teal in here somewhere. -Ric

Carroll was his name. But he earned little fame. His marbles were not great sellers. And though his business was tragic, his marbles were magic. . . . . . . . . . . Especially, . . . . . . . . . . when . . . . . . . . . . the . . . . . . . . . . lights . . . . . . . . . . came . . . . . . . . . . on.

Handsome little guy there, Bruce . . . doesn't look anything like you. (JK Buddy!) And neat rollers - I especially like the white and red one. It's great to see that somebody still knows what you're supposed to do with these things - HAVE FUN! Great pics too. Take Care, -Ric

I like sorting marbles so much that sometimes I'll mix sorted marbles back together just so I can sort them again. -Ric

No doubt, the nicest Alley menagerie I have ever seen! Thanks for the pic, Bill. See ya in a couple of days. -Ric

Wow! Those marbles are absolutely beautiful - awesome colors. Congratulations guys! -Ric

Here are a few pretty cool ones from the wash. -Ric

I'm betting the marbles are even better than the box . . . and that is one SWEET box! -Ric

Nice group there, Steve. Thanks for the photo. Bring them to Vienna if you have room. I certainly wouldn't mind taking a look at them. -Ric

Sorry you're having photo troubles, Edna. But I'm patient a person, and I'll be looking forward to seeing a few of your Cairo marbles when things get worked out. Thanks for trying though! -Ric

I recall some recent rumblings about somebody wanting to see/show some Cairo Novelty marbles - it seems I recall Edna or somebody saying something about it. Although, it may have just been wishful thinking on my part. Regardless, I would really like to see some examples of Cairo marbles. I know they're out there, so if you have them, please show them! I'll start with one of my favorites. -Ric

That is a nice one, Bill. Leroy did good! See ya' soon. -Ric

We had something similar in Indiana and I think other states have had similar too. -Ric

Hey Griff, They ain't all narrow. -Ric

And thanks for showing that one too, Al. -Ric

Thanks Big John, That's what I was hoping to see. They're both mighty fine marbles, but I really like that top one - awesome colors! -Ric

Cool marbles. The one front left is really nice. And the color on the one front right does look similar to those I showed. But I guess it's becoming clearer to me that there's surprising variation in the MK reds. And I would still like to see a nice picture of an MK with "oxblood" on it. Do they exist - where the "ox" is more than a fine line? Thanks, -Ric

Here's a couple of pretty cool 3/4" MKs I picked up recently. One of them has a nice little twist in it. And the darker patches are pretty interesting too. One pole is considerably darker than the other, almost looks a bit like oxblood, but I'm not too familiar with the MK version, so I'm hoping someone else might have an opinion or some examples. Any thoughts? Thanks, -Ric
