    Some nice marbles there, Galen!

    Nice marbles, some of my favorites, for sure. Ann, I think Mibstified's mib (third row, right) is an Alley. And Marboman, I would want to see another view or two of the left one but the right looks like an Alley to me too.

    Apparently the seller has multiples - unbelievable.

    This is nice to see - thanks. It looks like a good time was had by all!

    Did Peltier ever market aventurine or "sparkle" or anything similar? If they produced it intentionally and consistently, it seems they would have benefited by doing so.

    Cleaned up nice - dandy marble, Mike.

    I suppose it is only a marble by the broadest definition. But being hand made, it is certainly art by almost any definition. Personally, I think it is beautiful and an excellent example Alloway's art.

    I played marbles quite a bit as a kid in the 60s. On rainy days, we played ringer inside using string to make the ring.

    I thought Bananas were first too. But perhaps we need to more clearly define Cat's Eyes because I have also heard the term applied to the single-vane Masters, some of which I think were also quite early.

    Drake's Cake Mesh Bag

    Ric replied to Ric's topic in Archives

    Oh wow, I'm really glad I asked. I like the big shooter swirl in yours. But makes me wonder even more about their QC - 11 + shooter? The others are great, too, bad they have Pelts in them. lol I would like to see the green one up close - it's really nice!

    Very nice marble - in need of a bath. The base looks green to me too, which also explains why it looks brownish where the color is just below the surface.

    It seems strong electromagnetic fields could have some effect on animals and other living things but I have no idea what, if anything, is documented. Grab that tube and just think about it like stepping into the matrix . . .

    Bob, Chad told me about your Dad. Thanks for letting us know they arrived home safely. I hope he's back at it soon!

    Drake's Cake Mesh Bag

    Ric replied to Ric's topic in Archives

    Hey Al, How many of these Drake's bags have you seen? Would you say they are uncommon? And you're right, for me it's marbles first. But I LOVE bags - with WV Swirls in them. lol.

    Here is an uncommon Drake's Cake mesh bag with Alley marbles. I picked it up at the Des Moines Show, which was very active when I visited on Friday. Interestingly, it has a 1/3 marble piece in it along with 15 whole marbles - poor QC I guess.

    I had/have a red one that I thought was MK too.
  18. Ric
    Some kind of an ornamental piece. It might be worth something to someone but . . . ?

    Seen In The Park

    Please forgive my bad joke in advance . . . I guess it takes one to know one. :-)

    English major? LOL

    Sort of looks like a multicolor minus one color. I may have some similar ones.
  22. Ric
    The first and third look good and I think you may be right about the middle being Akro.
  23. Ric
    Thanks Mon, The red looks good for sure. The blue base is really nice. Although, I have not seen that size or quality from Kokomo before. It looks too good to be true. lol. Good eye on the transparent tree John!

    Marbles as feedstock . . .

    It says, "Larger images display only at the Library of Congress". Anyone close? lol
