I still have work to do on the photos, but it's a start:

Hoping to be able to reliably take good photos indoors, after many years I got out the light tent which someone on the forums suggested. This one, which came with tri-pod lamps:

No doubt! Thanks for sharing!

Anyway, nice acquisition.

I just have a general feeling about large Masters being hard-to-find. Can't remember right now which styles that applied to.

NICE. What's the verdict these days on how unusual that kind are?

Fantastic! Dream presentation. I'm settling for clearance-priced school pencil boxes with sloppy white labels. That set is museum worthy.

First step ... find all the Vacors. I reached for this box and it's not as full as I thought. Now I have to remember my other Vacor hiding spaces. (That comment made me think about a hole-in-the-wall Mexican cantina. )

For sure!

Ooooh .... authentic, old-timey brick guts. That IS sad. But still kinda cool.

So much color!

@ " Most ladies like the cowboy pic " ... the asparagus is sexy too ....

Wow. I remember as a kid wanting to find arrowheads, but that's as far as that dream went. That first piece -- the Bird Stone? -- is astounding.

"Sprue". GREAT word. I NEED to remember that.

Oooooooh

I'm probably ready to take a break from Jabos ... maybe I'll pull out my Vacors next.

thank you

very interesting!

Uh oh. This is bad. Somebody stop me. Now that I've given myself permission to stop discarding, I pull out my marbles just to enjoy them ... and what are my thoughts? "How about instead of trying to have 8 of everything, I pick the three best and let the others go?" Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Of course hubby will be glad that I'm getting addicted to downsizing, but somebody stop me!

That looks like a painting .... appropriately.

It's too bad that "moss agate" has become minimized as a name. Akro was proud of them.
