Jumpin' Jimminy, Doc . . . those are some sweet marbles! In my opinion, that Chrissie in the third row, second column, is tough to beat.

It looks like an Alley flame to me, Gary. And honestly David, given that marbles with flame-like patterns were produced by a number of companies, don't you think that "flame" is better used to describe a pattern than serve as a specific name for Christensen marbles displaying such decoration?

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
