That particular ceramic marble is known as a bennington. Made in Germany in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Once thought to have been made in the U.S. at the Bennington pottery factory. Now we know different but the name stuck.

I'm not sure I see Peltier slags. Definitely see slags, some handgathered. Just not recognize a Peltier pattern. There are some Akros. I think I see some Christensen Agate. That big blue and yellow could be a Peltier. A few cat's eyes -- Asian and maybe one Peltier. A solid vintage lot. Some could be from before 1910. A number from the 1930's. Too bad about the condition. Darn ball bearings.

dragon fizz?

yessir!

Some good ones! I did not know these!

I don't remember ever hearing that before.

and oxblood?

Congrats! I do like the swirl in the middle, the one you posted in the ID forum. The green, brown and yellow one might turn out to be one which Vitro collectors are fond of. The Vitro Black-Eyed Pea. But don't quote me on that. Need confirmation.

I think that's an Alley Agate. From the 30's or 40's.

Glad you enjoyed! Yikes. Those are photobucket links, from before photobucket went nuts. I need to change those.

thank you

Sounds like the Decorah cameras are nearing the time when they will be turned off for the season. The kids may stay around for another couple of months learning how to be eagles but there's less and less to be seen in camera range. Still we got a nice view of Mom and two of the kids looking out over Trout Creek this morning. The father disappeared this spring. He was around 21 years old, which is old for an eagle. But he wasn't showing signs of ill health. He simply vanished without warning. There's another male who has been staying near the family nest without getting too close The Decorah website says courting generally happens around October. So we hope there will be a new eagle family soon but it is not certain.

I'll have to leave that question to someone else. I think hard-ish. Craig, are you around? @spara50

This is the only picture I'm finding right now. Used to have others. Another branded marble from over there is Ajax. These belong to @StéphaneFrance

You gotta put a Bonux branded sparkler on your wishlist.

Do you have any European sparklers? or whisplers?

Now I feel bad that I didn't catch that. But not too bad. Hey, we could have started a new rumor about where these marbles really come from.

I did not doubt it! Very festive.

that one is frothy ... nice

Well, that's another "awwwwwww". That's a cute one too.

Hello there! Welcome. That's a wild effect in your marble. I take it that's a double ingot?
