    Zigafoose, any chance we could see that marble of your Dad's? Well, anyway, that's awesome !

    Yes I will try to remember to snap a pic or two next time Im over there

    If I didn't know for 100% that it came from Mr Moore's hand I would not swear it was a Vitro, my dad had the pleasure to know him for many years.

    I have at length talked with many other mib collectors about Vitro Confettis so Im glad to see it brought up here.

    The ones from Raylens collection I was luck enough to find in a case at the Glass and Marble Museum when they first came in from California it was the best day ever had in my marble collecting life ,never had so much fun!!!!!!

    Notice how the book reads "All but a few of the Moore Confetti marbles were shipped to House of Marbles"

    Well believe it or not but my fauther has one of the Confettis that Mr Moore made it was handed to him direct from Mr Moore and he was told the story of the "approximately fifty 1 & 1/4" its a good looking mib but knowing it's real and came from a great man like Mr Moore makes it to him priceless!

    I have also been lucky enough to have had in my hands some of Confetties that are part of Raelyn's collection.

    I love them all if nothing else they are marble history.

  11. Just An Ordinary Unmarked Box Of Mibs ... Lalalalala

    Haven't heard of Vitro stock boxes from that era being marked.

    This is another mere hunch but I'm guessing that perhaps none were. at least not in the 30's. I'm thinking that if they had been marked -- or if many had been marked -- more might have been preserved and info about the style name "tri-lite" might have surfaced earlier in modern times. not to mention the names "du-lite" and "clear-lite".

    Sounds like a good hunch

  24. West Virginia Marble Collectors Club Show

    in General Marble & Glass Chat

    Like I said Im not bashing the show,Ron or anybody involved I just want to see this show and marble collecting in general take a step forward.

    You can be sure I will be at the show and at the hotel walking the floors the day before and enjoying every minute of it!

    Some may call it a cop-out but I have never been one to join any club,but yes Ron has been nice enough to offer me a chance to join or just stop by a meeting,it's just not my style.

    That said I would be glad to help out if anyone wants to make up an official flyer I will make the copies and be glad to hand them out at local auctions,post on various bulliten boards around Wood county and hand them wherever the opportunity comes up!I already spread it thru word of mouth.

    If the club is really thinking of a venue change next year let me know and I will do my part and check to see what deals you can get on rooms elsewhere.

    If I have permission to speak for the club I would be glad to go and talk to the city of Vienna about a sign along Grand Central Ave!! Does the club have a little coin to spend? If so maybe get past the local ordinance preventing the sign by paying a temp worker for a few days to hold a sign like the dudes do for Little Ceaser Pizza :Happy_050: !!!!! Heck it's a good thing tourist in Vienna spending money Whats not to like :Money_0031: ?????

    Anything I can do to help promote this show please let me know.

    Oh and thank you Edna

    with very minor experience in " helping" at the decatur show on occasion, what a bunch of work it does take to " throw" a show. most walk in the door not realizing the effort behind the event. many thanks to you ron and your crew that gets the job done in a class situation ... :Happy_143: bill

    I am not saying there isn't some work involved, maybe I just dont have a clue cause it doesnt seem that hard to me and my first order of buisness would be move out near the I50/I77 Interchange there are several motels that ALL the rooms are on one floor so no carrying your stuff up to a room also these places would love to sell out 40-50 rooms (times are tough ) they have a conference roon with tables ,there are three places to eat within eyesite and several more just down 7th street.

    Also no silly Vienna rules about a sign.

    Run an ad in the local bulletin board I am sure you can get it done for less than whoever wanted $500.

    Flyers Flyers Flyers !!! Make them black and white if you have to give people a little history with the flyer not just ..MARBLE SHOW.........Give people some history....
