  1. Thats' a beauty Rich,you made that with moretti glass and a torch?Guess you could get other colors too.7/8" is as big as you can go or can you make them bigger,say 1-1/4"?Very nice work!how big is your kiln,I have one of my own I rarley use.
  2. I think I have five ringer corkscrews but the big one is not a corkscrew it has several seams,four, maybe triple ingot....ringer..swirl? None are flourecsent big one is one inch.
  3. Honeybern does have some ugly marbles!!!.....,I want.And I was inspired to look up the word f'shizzle.But we all gotta get along or at least try and he/she might need to take a little time out and enjoy that Palm city weather,hot place I've been there.Bye the way how is Grams feeling?Hope your surgery helped.You haven't asked for my advice but I feel compelled to tell you what my doctor told me,he said "Just be nice!" best advice I've ever had.You started out OK but snowballed out of control,as you knew you would.Just being honest with you freind.We all love marbles here but they can cause major obsessive compulsive problems.Proceed with care as if you were walking in a pasture full of fresh cow s**t.Good luck and good day,Bo Uh-oh got this on the wrong thread,my gosh so many of them.It was to be in the who is honeybern,started by honeybern.......
  4. I like them all! Very nice assortment handmade and machine made.
  5. Very,very nice,I have one like it that has 360 degree chips.I've always wondered what it would look like if it wasn't hammered,Thank you.
  6. It was mentioned in the ID section that we should try to explain why we think it is, what we think it is.I see a likeness in the way the red bleeds to brown in the early peltier marbles.In Galens case it's a Miller rebel that didn't get much black,my marble is a patriot.In both cases the red bled to brown.It looks like a pelt rebel to me and a great size too.Maybe a little aventurine???
  7. Pelt I think I have some like it,did you get it Galen?
  8. Good for you,a whole pelt collection! All very nice.The blue white and black NLR is especially nice
  9. It's your birthday? I'm shocked,how time flys
  10. I think the difference between new and vintage is simply the difference between a marble made for a collector or a marble made for a child to play with.I have both and enjoy them just the same.My preference is early machine made.I also like to collect vintage japanese pinch pontils.Contemps are not made to be played with,they are art pieces in my opinion.
  11. I like finding lots most,great marbles.I'm hoping to find some this weekend
  12. I got this one,it looks like a pelt rainbow? check out the bubbles in last pic.Nice marbles everyone. Don your marble looks Alley to me.
  13. Saw some polished Jabo's about 3-4 years back.They look drastically different than the original item.There were about a dozen of them ,all the same size and color I think.They were deep redish brown,kinda oxblood looking.No aventurine,very nice looking mibs.I thought to myself maybe one day I would have some of my jabo's polished,they did look good!
  14. Winnie,sorry you don't like the pick.It's an angry German mob that's going after the legendary Frankenstien monster .I thought of it in response to greg11 response that we should just go dig the place up.My feeble attempt at humor.But maybe it's to late for that.Did I mention I collect marbles too and find this thread very interesting as I have seen "exotics" myself,although very beautiful the colors seem a bit off to me,but I am not an expert in this area.Maybe that's why they call them "exotics"you know,introduced from abroad,foreign.Although they could be totally authentic.
  15. YES!!! LET'S GO GET THOSE MARBLES!!!
  16. They are beautiful,I've seen them in hand.
  17. These are not my marbles but this pic may help those who haven't seen them.
