Magic eraser cleaning pads.

Thought this would be a good place to add my find at the flea market today.

Not quite the caliber of Craig's find but still cool Alox shoelace poster.

DAN

Nice, you have set the bar higher for marble show t's.

DAN

I bought 2 of these bags from Al in KC because they had ravenswood marbles in them and one Paul Bunyon. I will have to check for the patches.

DAN

Nice, possibly Ravenswood.

DAN

I can't wait! See you all Thursday early afternoon.

DAN

Thanks Bernie for posting them in the gallery.

I think if you figure out how to size them and post them here in a thread the will live on in the archives forever.

DAN

Nice marbles!

I think it would reach more eyes here in the thread itself. The gallery is a little cumbersome to flip thru pics...for me anyway.

Bernie, would you consider posting them in this thread?

DAN

There's one pictured on page 122 in AMMM (Six, Metzler and Johnson), lower left corner.

Ignore the price guide. That was a bit of an inside joke.

Ok I see it now but the picture is deceiving on how big it is. The box that sold is rather small for a top and bottom box.

Hansel, any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Check out this Master Box. I bid quite high on this small box and still didnt win it. I have never seen this in any book before and would love to hear more about it.

DAN

Do you really know what Midwest cold Is Randy?

DAN

Wow Galen that is not an Alley spruce but an Alley Forrest if I may suggest a name for that beautiful large marble int he middle.

DAN

DAN

Ask David McCullough and you'll get the truth.

Dan, please share your info. It was my understanding that The Wissmach glass was used one time. I have had large groups from the one run(cleanout?) that I know about and the true "Furnace Marbles" I know of are from.

Hi Galen, my info comes from the book American machine made marbles in the champion section. I am out of town right now or I would quote it and post the pages I have printed out. To paraphrase it says that in 1994 - 1995 they would clean out the tanks with wismach glass every few months. So my thinking is that the diffenent cleanouts is what produced the several of the different types. Not sure but would like to hear more thoughts.

I do not believe the marbles posted in this thread are furnace.

Maybe we should start this discussion somewhere else.

DAN

Does anyone disagree with the info in the American Machine Made Marbles book? The furnace marbles are discussed in the champion section.

From what I heard the author did a pretty through job interviewing the right people.

DAN

Thanks for posting this!

I will be there with swirls for sale!

DAN

Dave that's a killer marble! What do you call it?

DAN

See you all on Thursday.

DAN

See you Wed roomie.

DAN
