Days late and dollars short . . . the story of my life.

This is oxblood in a clear/amber base - too dark for me. I gave it away. \ It was a big one.

I'm not that keen on Akros . . . they usually find a new home soon after they come to me.

I am not even sure what this is called - a fountain, maybe?

The antique color is really pretty and that Akro blue slag is unforgettable - beautiful.

Alley made some pretty cool game marbles, for sure. I remember a game Galen posted a long while back - I think it was called "Glass Mosaic" or something like that. It had lots of Alley caligraphy-style (if I remember right) game marbles (monochromes - I like the description). Maybe somebody saved a pic (@steph?). I sure wish I would have - the mibs, I think peewees, were really cool.

These are always cool too - when you can find them.

Another good marble buddy . . .

Jake loved this guy too. Every time they saw one another Andy would pull a top out of his pocket . . .

One of my favorite pocket marbles.

The blue-based ones are some of my favorites. Here's a similar one in green.

That translucent green-based one is a stunner!

I am so glad you got access, Ron. Of course, I have a number that have been laying around here unidentified - until now. Both the marbles you posted are dandies. I realized there were two in your first post. But I figured you must especially like the second one, since you posted it twice. You know, I think we could work out all of this confusion though. You could just send me one of those two second examples. 😁

That is a cool game, like a mini skee ball. I like old marble games a lot too.

Yeah, it seems I remember marbles 100s of marbles flying all over your kitchen floor at one point, Bill - ever get the ones out from under the fridge? 😜

Hi Bonnie, Nice mibs - I dig 'em! The red-brown at 11:00 is my favorite. 🙂

That is a dandy Jobber box - great marbles too!

What's not to love about Alley flames?

Yeah, a lot of them are kind of blah. But certainly not all of them.

Heck, I wouldn't kick that one out of my keeper box! Some people like them sloppy with AV, and mine is pretty over the top. But I prefer them a bit more refined . . . . . . like me. 😎

Sammy and Julia - What a team! I've already given you nearly every decent rainbo I've ever owned, Bill. . . . . I have gotten some mighty nice marbles in return, though!

Feathered slags are great and that's a very nice marble in the op, I can see why you're thinking Peltier, for sure. I would like to see some examples of hand-gathered Pelt slags. Do you have any of those?

I have always liked Rainbos. Even the simple ones can be pretty cool!
