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/
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
