    I looked for a picture of the 'machine made' salamander but gave up as it was late...glad to see it!...

    I really love the pictures (especially the pictures!)and opinions of everyone on this forum. If anyone stops posting or sharing their opinions here it's a loss to me and I'm sure others who love learning about these things. Fortunately for me not everyone has the same opinion or after reading the first one I'd have nothing left to do but go to sleep, and that's no fun. I enjoy the guesses, the serious discourses, the fun facts, and I even enjoy the opinions, like mine, that are all wrong most of the time. Please keep sharing everyone.

    Who would've thought that a small glass ball made for kids to roll in the dirt for fun could still be generating so much passion a hundred years later. I bet the workman who tossed the last marble of the day into a full crate at a small factory like the one Duffy shared today would've never imagined all the excitement it would be producing decades later. I often wonder how the marble I have in my hand got from where it started to reach me and how many kids may have carried in their pockets as their favorite...Nancy

  3. I hope you don't mind that I'm sticking this picture here. I copied it from the E-Bay link you posted above. I've been reading a lot of old threads and the picture gets lost when it's from E-Bay. I love the pictures so here is the picture that will still be here when the sale ends...Nancy

  4. I think it would be awesome if you would post pictures of marbles with their names and descriptions. It would help me and other people new to this marble world learn about things like Popeyes, Rebels, Golden Rebels, Dragons, Flaming Dragons, Baseballs, Muddies, 7-ups, Bumblebees, German Sparklers, Cac diaper Seams, Moonies, Superman, Buttermilks, Corkscrews, Oxbloods,Rainbo's, Tri-Lites, Sunbursts, and dozens (probably hundreds that feels like thousands)more that are mysteries to me and I bet a lot of us new guys. I expect that there will be differences of opinion as to what constitutes a lot of marble names and types but that would be fun and informative as well. Plus Bonus for you...it might keep us newbies from asking the same questions over and over. I hate feeling dumb! Whadda ya think, anyone game? Pictures and descriptions are all you need but feel free to add anything else about your type of marble that you'd like. I think information is like fun "no such thing as too much of it!" Also please feel free to add any and all the marbles I didn't list as well...Thanks. I can hardly wait to see what comes in!...Nancy

    PS...It would be cool if we don't critique others opinions of marble type, cuz then I'll have more opinions posted I bet and it'll be interesting to read them all. It's okay if you post only picture with marble name if you like as well...The more information/pictures the better for me! To tweak a well known cliche - 'More' is more...Thanks for sharing...Nancy

  5. I really wanted to go to the Vegas show but couldn't. I go to Vegas a couple of times most year's. Hopefully it'll be there again. I REALLY want to attend this show in Orange County (I grew up in Long Beach...is it that Orange County?) hmmmmmmm I have a trip to New Zealand in the works for March but not sure of the dates yet. Hoping trip and show coincide as I'll be flying out of LA airport and wold love to meet some of you and see Marbles!...Nancy

    PS I wonder what kind of marbles you'd look for in New Zealand?,,,,,
