Whee!

Hmmmm . . . when the colors/color combos are that weird, maybe there are times we can say yes. Or at least "Wow, maybe so . . ."

Just a Frosted Flakes girl. Except on Sundays, when daddy would fix us coffee, tomato juice, fried Virginia ham or bacon, eggs, toast . . . I could also occasionally eat oatmeal if it had enough butter, brown sugar, and cream in it . . .

The only one I know for sure that has that info is MFC. But those are not purely machine-made marbles. Maybe someone who has seen all of the Pelt paperwork could tell us if anything similar is there? Betcha MK has some records . . .

Me too. Just checkin!

Welcome in.

Happy Earth Day.

Chocolate. Because it's Friday.

I think Alan's right about the "same cane" idea not transferring very well -- or at all -- to "same run" in machine-made marbles, for the reasons he stated. I also see Nantuketdink's point about the use of the term "same run" with the new runs at JABO, etc., but as Galen mentions, it really has a very different meaning in that context. A number of different styles/patterns/color combos of marbles came from the first Joker run, for example. I think it was customary at the time to speak of "families" of marbles in a run when speaking of a group of similarly-patterned-and-colored marbles within a run. Is that still the case?

I've seen the Hinkley buzzards too! For several years in the mid 1990s a group of them would stop to rest on my apartment building in Cleveland . . . a little unnerving, but quite a sight.

I've seen that octagonal zoo structure before, but I can't remember where. By that, I mean it's a real structure in a European zoo. In Austria? Germany? Where oh where was it . . .

Me too. Sometimes now I feel like a mouth-breather.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What she said! And to Ron! I never knew that the horseshoe cats also came from Gladding-Vitro . . .

Thanks, Ron --

:lol: I won't count yours if you won't count mine . . .

Yea, it's the width and striations of the ribbons that still have me leaning towards Alley. And I know that this is subjective, but the glass certainly does look and feel "old." Can't compare to Vacors, since I only have a few, but I have a fair number of JABOs (although all of them are from the private runs), and I haven't seen any resembling this.

Why didn't someone tell me this before?

Throwing myself off the cliff, I'll say it reminds me of one sold to me as an Alley. I'm not entirely convinced, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Maybe Ron will drop by . . .

Yep, pretty sure they're Vitro hybrids -- nice ones, too. And I'd go for the Anacortes call, as well. I forget the exact dates -- will look it up tonight. Shame on me.
