  1. I just found out that we lost our friend Dejapa last year. The last time I wrote her, her husband replied and said she had been sick. She meant a lot to me though we probably only contacted each other once a year on average. A generous spirit. http://m.arkansasonline.com/obituaries/2017/jul/09/diane-wise-2017-07-09/
  2. I imagined those "extras" we have ... like pens and letter openers. Pictures!!! We need pictures!!!!
  3. Was thinking of this one today and couldn't find it easily -- which is why I started this thread -- the mosaic in the headboard from the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith ..... 18000 marbles.
  4. No, not Jabo classics Cool things from past threads that you don't always remember how to get to but you think of from time to time and newbies might have fun with! I LOVE this song!
  5. Gotta love a wee one. But your boulder is still the prettiest sunset I ever saw.
  6. Pretty sure you have a Buttermilk, but it won't hurt my feelings if someone says I'm wrong. I'm not a Vitro specialist.
  7. Gotta be Vitro. Some kinda Conqueror?
  8. It's a Vitro Tri-Lite. 1930's. Question is whether it has a special collector's name. Is it a Buttermilk? http://www.joemarbles.com/3Marble Articles/Kevin Roberts/0002_vitro_buttermilks_and_buttermilk_variations.htm
  9. Ah, the worlds biggest marble hunt ... that was one of the ones I knew about. I thought that the seller sent you a set with the understanding that part would be hidden. I kinda remembered another seller doing that before ... but it's a fuzzy memory. The other hunt I know of is more localized... in Washington State.
  10. I don't think I know about this particular hider program. I know of a couple, but this doesn't sound like that.
  11. another unusual one ... you're bringing together a special collection
  12. I shall say "contemporary". But no idea of the artist.

    I think this is Richard's bag. They're not hideous ... but not as sharp as Peltier. And if you want an American-made black banana ... you're looking for a Master.
  14. Well, hello. I missed this post. I see what you mean about the groups.
  15. I didn't think Jabo because of how the marble was worn. But other than the old-looking wear, I have no objections to the ID.

    *sticks out tongue at Richard*
  17. Thanks, Mike. I might not have believed it myself, Winnie, except I found it in a Pelt bag. (A Champion Jr. bag.)

    I guess I wouldn't call the flamas uncommon. But they are popular. Foreign banana-like marbles without the special finish aren't as special. American bananas of course remain special.
  19. I can't say not Alley. The alternative which came to my mind though was Cairo Novelty.
