  1. Wow! Thanks for bumping with the explanation.
  2. Steph

    Oxblood?

    Welcome. Looks like oxblood on my end.
  3. Wow, your MK collection is getting a lot of color as well as depth.
  4. I'm late, but it's looking CAC to me.
  5. Fascinating. Thank you for your information and insights.
  6. Thanks for sharing. Hope the value is all in the bag and folks weren't bidding it up for the marbles.
  7. No marbles were shown. It was only text in a 1907 trade journal. The racism on that page is breathtaking and heartbreaking. Here's the part about marbles. Here's the whole link: Mixer and Server - Google Books
  8. Peewees used in airplane controls?? May 28, 2001:
  9. Also, for what it's worth, I have a 1907 article mentioning Japanese marbles. But it's a very racist. I don't even like to share it. No company was mentioned. The marbles would probably have been handmade.
  10. Also, the marbles in the machine in this 1929 ad looked Japanese to me. But it's a very small photo and no information to go on besides the ad date. There were similar American marbles made, but not in 1929 as far as I know.
  11. This thread refers to trademarks which date to 1929. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/20463-japanese-transitionals
  12. I was just thinking about him. Sorting books and found a Ravenswood booklet he coauthored.
  13. Genius. I remember rubber band guns! But we just pieces of pine. Never had the materials for a rifle barrel.
  14. First thought was Vitro, but not strong enough to comment the first time. With the backlighting, I am more strongly leaning Vitro.
  15. My first thought was Pelt NLR. Al is giving me second thoughts. I'll have to dig out the translucent Zebra that Mike Barton gave me and see how close it is. Can't remember right now and have to run to work now.
  16. Thank you, Shawn. You got this, Jeff!
  17. A museum. That takes the Rolley Hole PR campaign up another level. Nice to see.
  18. How fun! And an attractive marble, too.
  19. Yours now? I wish I knew pontils better. All I can say is "pretty".
