Just logged on - we are in Mass and tomorrow will be in Maine for 2 weeks camping on the beach! After the Aug 4th mrble show in Ark, we have to race back to Calif since my wife has to get back to work .

We are now in PA heading to Maine. Please have a look - I am desperate!!!!! Thanks Dani!

nope, the few I have are battleship gray! I have to wait until the middle of Aug before I get home to take pix. We are in Georgetown Kentucky tonight!

We currently are in Topeka Kansas in a Barns & Noble Starbucks and going to sleep in a Wal Mart parking lot. I removed the bck seat of my wife's Scion and built a bed with a 3" memory foam mattress for our bed. Below the bed are 2 compartments where we store clothes. We have 7 weeks to go on our trip!

I could make them but I wanted original ones for my game. Yes, Akro make a few but most newer gray marbles came from Marble King. The size is around 5/8" but a bit smaller. I am in Kansas on an 8 week trip to Maine and back so I cn't take pix. The color is like battle ship gray - medium gray in shade. Thank you all for helping me!!!!!

If you have lying around your junk drawer any gray game marbles, I have 5 (one with a small hole in it) and I need enough for game. Please PM me if you have any ht you don't want. Thanks Rich

Welcome - my guess without a picture is they are Chinese Checker game marbles.

By selling gifts to Dave is certainly a under-handed, nasty vicious way to get money!

Happy BD you old young guy!

The city cut it down and hauled the entire tree (except the stump). They were supposed to come today and grind the stump but were a no-show!

Me yoo but I spoke with families that have lived here since the track was built and they called then liquid ambers????? i am not a tree person so I really don't know. Thanks for the help!

On Mother's Day I heard a loud ***BANG*** thinking it was a car accident. Went outside to see a 12' broken branch that hit my wife's car. Smashed the driver's side windshield, banged several big dents into the hood and hit the front bumper. Got a police report and the city to clean up the debris. It is a 65' Liquid Amber tree the city owns on my property. 2/3 of it is totally dead. 6 weeks ago I sent the city tree removal branch an email about them removing the tree totally. The landlord's car was hit 10 years ago by the same tree. She complained 10 years ago about it too as well as asked they city to remove it...lol Now the city will repair yet another car hit by this tree. Good news though, this morning the tree removal truck went to work removing it. Rich pix 1, 2, 3

I asked the person that I got the marble from, where did it come from and he said a dig! I'd love to go marble hunting in that river..lol

Thanks mon. I still am confused though after looking at the Morphy picture up close. Below is the picture. I don't see and "S" shape but they call it CAC????? The description is number 299. Did they make an error? How often do they make errors? Thanks

I agree Stacy - I've put it in my best marbles box.

Stacy - real clear explanation - thanks! It's ok if it's a Bumble Bee, Girl Scout Hybrid MK - I still LOVE the marble marblemiser - and proud to one one. Learning is such an unique journey and I appreciate all your help!

I need someone to explain to me the difference from the marble on Morphy's ad and the one I own that makes it clear that mine is not CAC please.

Nice mibs!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about Morphy's then - are they wrong in calling that marble CAC? Here's a pix of it
