those are wonderful

I am not currently eating sticky toffee pudding, but it sounds like something I'd want to do.

Those clear bases .... don't even know what to say.

Are those the small-sized Jabos? That's a run I'm missing.

Some autumn colors

Exciting news. This book is loaded with full color pics of boxes, full page color contents and many full page color bags. Often both sides of a bag are shown together on a single full page. Of the book's 105 pages, more than half are full page and full color. This is the only book ever published on Master Glass Company marbles. Many MMCO bags and boxes are also shown for comparison and some ambiguities involving Akro are clarified. This is a price and information guide also. George is putting this book for sale for the first time at the Nov. 6 Decatur marble show, which he will attend from Thursday Nov. 4 thru Saturday Nov. 6. He will be selling these out of his home thru the end of 2016. Anyone wishing a copy can contact him at his email - [email protected] - to reserve a copy. Send no payments until he respond to your email requests. Personal checks or money orders are acceptable. The cost of the book is $34.00 plus $6.00 for postage and handling.

Oh, no headaches! It's very pretty.

Who made that? It reminds me of a small Champion I wish I had back.

Gorgeous. What conversation piece they would be.

Very biological in the backlight photo.

Thanks for the nuance there, Scott.

Halloween neener!

Thanks Al. It's hard to describe what I mean ... I need better patch vocabulary. I think of those as being in the general realm of "rainbo". (though a couple do only have faint second ribbons). So the ones I'm looking for have less symmetry. A patch/ribbon only on one side. Maybe I just made it up.

Bump ... I'm really sure I've seen some Koko patches but I don't remember any good pix of the few I saw. Only glimpses into bags or small photos.

I just called two of my marbles "Mr. Lutz". I don't know how I decided they were Misters.

Marble has already gone back home so no sunlight comparisons.

You're not kidding. But the purply shade really was a good match for the Ravenswood in hand.

Too bad it's frowned upon for a person to take one example from each row before they pass the box along to someone else.

I remember when I learned the name for the long sandwich which I now know as a "sub". I was about nine. It was fun to say the name of this exotic sandwich that my father bought us. But now I don't remember which name he called it. It was either "hero" or "hoagie". I think "hero".
