cat's eye jack

Me neither.

But no clue what.

my friend don miller said he has never seen anything like it. wish someone could id it...jack

last time i posted this 5/8" marble it seemed to be either a peltier or kokomo. i hope better pics, any thoughts? thanks, jack

these 5/8" cage type cat's are loaded with bubbles. i was informed that bogard did use a lot of bubbles but did not make cage cats. what's up??? thanks, jack

this 5/8" vitro looks sorta like a conqueror but on the other hand it doesn't. thanks, jack

hi, i posted this a while back. it's a MK 1" helmet and i have yet to see or hear of another, is 1" that scarce? thanks, jack

happy birthday al, hope you have a great day

Better pic would be a must for me.

little better pics. thanks, jack

is this 5/8" marble an anacortes pink base cat?

Hey there Jack, just caught my attention when you mentioned Reno. I lived in Sparks for three years while I was stationed at the Mountain Warfare Training Center, just South of there about 2 hours on highway 395. If you keep going South you hit a turn off to the East which takes you to an old ghost town called Bodie. One of the coolest things they had there in that ghost town was a display in the old general store,(maybe it was the old taven) was old marbles that they had found while turning the town into a park. Very neat little place, but since it sits above 10k feet elevation, it only a summer trip. Well, there my two cents. lol God bless

that's really cool about bodie. i have a son who lives in reno, we try to visit him yearly but other than reno gambling all we have seen is carson city. next trip i'll check out bodie for sure. thanks, jack

Wow. Where does she get the material she works with?!

I once broke a Peggy Karr plate. I couldn't bear to throw it away so I tumbled the pieces. That turned out nicely.

there's this old timer who has a rock shop out in the middle of the desert about 100 miles from reno. it's been a while since she has got any, if he's got it it comes in 6"x^6" or 9"x9" swirled chuncks. it is $6 a pound but you end up with a lot........thanks, jack

just wanted to show the last batch of wifes tumbled glass. thanks, jack

:happy-857: hope everyone had a safe and happy new years eve and have a happy new year for the next 12 months...........jack

what will they think of next........jack

nice marbles don, i'm on e-bay every day, wish i could find a few large lots. thanks, jack

I was using a Thumler's Tumbler in the spring, but the barrels would not seal properly and the belts kept breaking. I got rid of it and bought a Lortone. It is the one with the two 1.5-lb barrels. This way you can use one barrel for the two rough tumbles and the other for the pre-polish and polish. I picked up the tumbler, and grits for about 8 loads, for less than $150 off of one of the rock tumbling sites.

have him give glass tumbling a try......jack

eventually I would like to purchase my Father-in-law a nice rock tumbler/polisher and would like some suggestions. He burnt out a few cheap ones. He polishes agates he finds in Oregon and in Texas. beautiful stuff.

Not in any hurry, probably March will be when I get it for his b-day.

Thanks in advance!
