Thank you, friends and marblers...

Being from California, and all, I had to make me a Grizzly Bear, and so, I did... Go Bearnie !!!

That's hecka way cool...

We used uranium glass in the Peltier Mansion Jabo marbles in 2008.

I think this is all about the fun of trying to make marbles on an historic old marble machine...Brian isn't attempting to replicate old marbles.... I fully support this cause with all due enthusiasm and excitement. Best of luck to you Brian, Boyce would be proud and thrilled....

I have five Guinea halfs, two on cobalt, and three clear based, that I made into half-assed buttons. They all have stretched color bits, and very obvious seams...

Yes, that is the first part of it, Winnie...

I got the washing machine part right away when first posted, but I was stumped about the rest, until about an hour after Hoody inadvertently let out a big hint at 3:37 AM yesterday.

Thank you Stephanie and Bob. Steph, my three Felix's are in other rooms, just to be safe. Bob, Stanley is pose-able, with moving legs and head. Also, his leather tail is reversible, and can go either up or down. He is made in the style of the Shoenhut toy animals, of 100 years ago. I patterned him after a Schoenhut leopard, but he is much larger, nearly life-sized. Stanley got a little dog friend. Her name is Jesse... Jesse ain't squee...

I got me a new cat yesterday... His name is Stanley... I made him a new collar and name tag last night, so he don't get lost...

Can't fool me that easy, it ain't May...nice multicolor marble, though.

I dug quite a few of these, most are between 5/16" and 1/2", with large flakes of aventurine in the green, and they are almost all out of round or fractured.

(If so, Happy the Birthday, kbob !)

Here is one on a transparent green base...

I was on a Liveauctioneers toy auction last week that had a 25% buyers premium.

Jeepers, I sure like the last marble in each of the bottom two rows there !!! Oooh..ooh !!! and the 4th one across in the middle row, the red angel or something... nice marbles, all...

Peltier Feathered Peltier

1927, I think...

Here is another Peltier slag, but it isn't feathered, either, and it's not even orange...

Peltier over 7/8" about 15/16" about 31/32" over one inch

This Miller marble machine, serial number 1399, shown above, was one of the first four marble machines bought by Peltier. They called it marble machine number one. It made marbles in the 7/8" to one inch size. Here it is as first bought, before many modifications... and this is it at Peltier in 2002...

Some more Peltier orange slags, made before the "feathered" type...

I approve of this message...

Not many bubbles, but my favorite twisted white Peltier...
