Oooh ...

For one marble? Shipping has gone up quite a bit since I sold regularly but the small flat rate priority box still ships for under $7. Box is free. Tracking is included. $50 insurance is included. If I understand correctly.

I'm not seeing Vacor structural traits.

John, that's so sweet of you. People like you are what make this hobby great.

I wondered -- I doubted -- you did it. Nice job capturing those in the dark from such a distance.

I moved it over to here, due to the advanced nature of the topic.

LOL ... I'm watching the 2nd event now ... not gonna rush this, but giving it an advance thumbs up. I can tell it's gonna be fun. Your partnership with the play-by-play announcer was a wonderful move. (And nice design on the race. )

Love it. Congratulations. Thanks for the update on this unusual topic.

Darn! But you had to take the chance.

I have all of two melon balls. I pulled out the white one and hoped for opalescence, but no. I tried to imagine that I was seeing a hint of orange, but it was just wishful thinking. I did get a little fire coming through the blue one. I don't know how to judge the pontils. Faceted I think on the white and maybe melted on the blue, but not sure. The marbles came with a date -- July 14, 1879.

Randy, are you reading?

Looking good!

Understood! Am I still allowed to be impressed by you?

Hi ... I don't recognize the yellow and white color combination. I guess it might be Champion Agate, a type of West Virginia swirl. (I also wonder if it could be Veiligglas -- from Amsterdam -- but I'm leaning American.)

no treble!
