  1. I am riding my bike home tonight, alongside Lake Michigan. At night, it is like a time machine and I think about the people who lived and worked beside this massive body of water 100 or more years ago. But since I am going by bike I tried to conjure up a circa 1900 version ... and I thought of the circa 1900 ball bearings somewhere in the bike .... And I heard myself say, "Thank you, Mr. Christensen." Because M. F. Christensen revolutionized the manufacture of ball bearings before he applied his genius to the rounding of glass. Okay, not so funny. Lol. But it amused me. 😜
  2. Fun river finds. Nice imperial display! Welcome to our happy band!
  3. Thinking Akro corkscrew here.
  4. I am trying to make out whether this marble has seams like a Peltier or if it's a swirl that just happened to fold this way. If it is a swirl and if it is vintage then I will say Alley.
  5. I would be a wild plum tree in some slightly remote location where whoever knew my location felt that I was their own secret treasure.
  6. They were called imitation agates.
  7. All the Benningtons I know of are German. Imported to the U.S. in the mid 1800's to early 1900's.
  8. It's too easy for me. Killing Me Softly, Roberta Flack. And the soundtrack to The Sound of Music. The list is easy for me because I didn't listen to much music as a kid. But I spent my 17th birthday up on a mountain playing The Sound of Music on my walkman. My brother introduced me to more music when I was almost 20 and he when he went against our parents' orders and set up a stereo in his bedroom and dug out their old records. But that's past the "kid" cutoff

    Equator

    With some marbles, the ribbons easily make one think of an equator. I snipped these pictures out of another thread. If I had to take the pictures fresh, I would have turned them so that the equator ran horizontally. But I'm still going to says these have equators even though the equator is running up and down. Hope that helps.
  10. @carolk, I think contacting Brian Bowden would be a good move.
  11. These look Vitro to me. If I had to make a second choice it would be Akro. But I'm sticking with Vitro.
