A few I have

Sorry took so long to reply ,computer was down. I have found 4 in about 11 bags opened, 3/4'', majority are sizes Ron stated. Still say third pic from left in first post is like Paul Buyuns in bags.

third pic in first post looks like Paul Bunyun , bumping this for largest Ravenswood post.

The third picture in first post looks most like patch to me.So Paul Bunyun could have been made there by enlarging stram feed?

Great piece ! Never saw that one before.

Thanks Al, Looks like 1 maybe 2 of the purple and white in third picture . Would you classify those as patches ?

Yes,but have not noticed any other color combos. These blue and white are kind of patch and swirl.

More ,and purple and white swirls for color comparison. These bags were unopenend as well. Maybe packed another makers marbles,but colors are same as swirls. Interested in any thoughts on these !

Possible proof of Paul Bunyuns made at Ravens wood? Ron Shepherd and David Chamberlain helped me get these bags by iding them and buying some.Also sold some here and other boards,to get back some of money,lady had these for years 32 bags,all but 4 unopened.This was few years ago and finally maybe clicked,too many hobbies,lol. This bag I opened for the red and clear ,were only 2 like it in all the bags,still got other one unopened.It only had 15 in it supposed to be 16,all others had 16 except 1 that had 17. The purple and white appear to be patches like the PAul Bunyun ? Have other Paul Bunyuns with wider patches too. Will post some others that had those as well.Still have unopened bag with same purple and white . Possibly may have sold some with these ,Ron or anyone ? Wondering if anyone else has bags with these? They are kind of plain and common in bags I got so they were overlooked .Also I was new to IDing ,collected but knew nothing ,still don't lol. Could it be Paul Bunyuns were made at Ravenswood ?

Lucky you Al! The brown and cobalt or emerald values have gone way up on e-bay .Also found some in bags with Oxblood tracers (ones in pics ) Are any of the Paul Bunyuns different from the 4 i posted (other than some have no second color) ? I was also lucky and got several bags last year(sold too many ) ,have 1 bag with a yellow cat eye and 1 with a blue cat eye ,all others were Ravenswood . The other last suspected maker( besides number 1 suspect Ravenswood )of the Paul Bunyuns was Akro i think .Ron had said more info about these might be out this year in the news letter from WVMC ?

The bag type they came in .

Just now saw this, it is mind-boggling . Pic of "Paul Bunyons " from Ravenswood Bags i opened . Steph ,those pics of the Alox marbles you opened are great .

Hi Howie ! Pleased to meet you . I showed my grandaughter ,she is 4 ,your marble and she really liked it ,thank you for showing it to us .It is a super nice one and i like the name too. She wanted to show you her new favorite ,she likes all marbles and big ones too.The marble is an Imperial .She is wearing dress from friends wedding for her birthday .Rick and Zoe

Great points Speed Racer ! Did you find them ,inherit or buy them ?These are a few from this year ,found some more but have not taken pics yet .The large one has a burin spokeshave for debarking arrow shafts .There are many awesome points still found in Ohio ,more so than in PA where i hunt ,also Indiana is great spot for finding them i have hunted there years ago my brother lives there.Would love to see some pics of your points,Patty .

Thanks for replies, good catch on the marble in question ,it is in my id files ided as Vitro cobalt ,whoops .I replaced it with a Peltier this hopefully .Steph will take pic of the far left one tomorrow. Ally op ,no drill press ,cordless drill just drill small hole first then a big one (round tip bits) ,as i said this needs sanded ,i drilled too fast ,too much pressure and bit was dull as well , made holes raggedy .

That is an attention grabber These are mostly Peltier ,if you see any i need to post in id section for second opinion let me know . These stands are quick ,cheap and easy to make and you can add on with a bigger one on the bottom .Still needs sanding and staining .

Very nice find D !

Forgot to add ,found the Paul Bunyun in the bowls ,a few little hits but cheap !

Thanks D,that one is 1" ! Thanks Felicia ,never really paid much attention to cats eyes before seeing other members pics ,now i have to look at everything (lol) .

Hi ,these are from an antique store that allows picking ,.There are 3/4" horseshoe cats purple and others ,also maybe a lavender and a pink hybrid.Also there is a big 1" cat i think is considered hybrid ?

That is great news ! May the improvements continue rapidly and trauma be healed as well !

You said it Al ! Made in USA again ! Wonder if this will drive up prices of first and second run ?

The Paul Bunyun that was in the bag ,i got an extra pic in this series that was not in this bag ,it is b3 something(lol)
