Here is the first of my sorting tonight!

Guess what????? I have about 5000 of Vitro Hybrid Cat's-eye marbles to sort into color combinations. I started tonight and ran out of paper bowels! Off to the market tomorrow to buy more for the different color combinations to sort - I am in marble heaven!!!!! The plastic box they are currently in is 18" long, 12" wide and 5" thick with marbles!!!!! Anyone wanna help?...lol!!! Rich

These took at least 4 years to get so I think I am going to cherish them and keep them in my game marble collection. I was going to put them with some of the handmade wooden games but since they were so hard to find, they will rest in my personal collection.

Thanks everyone

I think by Wed of next week, PayPal will get my money from the bank cleared and off it goes to the seller to send me the marbles - I am SO excited to get them - I'll take pictures too and show you all.

My heavens - waiting for.....lol

Just wait and see what I got in West Virginia Friday at Roger Hardy's place - pix tomorrow.

Here are some of my "keeper" cullet pieces. I don't touch them but leave them as is including the dirt! Most are Akro and there is some Moonie glass.

Yeah - only been successful twice with oxblood cullet out of about 30 attempts - it definitely doesn't NOT want to be reheated!!!!! Great cullet Alan!!!!!
