  1. I've seen you make a distinction about Galaxies before ... but not understood. Am I lumping too many marbles under the "Galaxy" name?
  2. Thank you for sharing. Hadn't heard from him in awhile. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
  3. I do not know if they are still in production.
  4. New-ish. Could be as early as the 1980's. Could be more recent. Vacor Galaxy.
  5. Bored ...so tried to find something marble-ular on google. I found a graphic novel called Marbles -- but it's about bipolar disorder. Then I found a comic strip called Splendid Marbles -- but it's about politics. Gimme a break!
  6. Of course! Doh! How did I not see that?
  7. It is comforting that it was found with 1920's marbles. Still unable to zero in on what it might be or when it might be from.
  8. The Coke intrigues me. Is that an older marble?
  9. Pretty! All nice and soft and fluttery.
  10. Classic bunch of Master Glass. Well done.
  11. I learned today of a marble run at a glass factory in Switzerland (thanks, Ron). http://www.glasi.ch/en/ The run itself if mostly made of glass. And there's a people slide also. Looked for a video of it. Found this glimpse.
  12. Does the shade of the base of the pair of blues stand out in hand like it does in their close-up?
  13. The variety in the brown ribbons is neat and I like seeing it attached to a Ravenswood box.
  14. So, um ... I see they're missing now from the thread ... you gonna post 'em with the Ravenswoods? (hint hint )
  15. So, here's the question. Was it found with old marbles? Or is there any other kind of provenance?
  16. I'm wondering if they could be super old. Like millennia rather than mere centuries. I've sent out an SOS.
  17. Well, I'm glad they're Ravenswood. Those browns were very interesting since that's a shade I associate with Alley, so I wanted them to be Ravenswood yet wouldn't have been surprised for them to be Alley.
  18. In case anyone doesn't know this trick -- if a certain type such as "jabo" or "vacor" is appearing too often for your taste -- then you can put a minus sign in front of the name to exclude listings with that word. -jabo -vacor Combining that with the pre-1970 category might help.
  19. It would be possible. There were some with white and a color, on the "moonstone" base. If the color ran out then voila! A quest!
  20. Some nice textures and variations among a simple color set. With that box, I sure wanted them to be Ravenswood. You sure we can't nudge them that way? You think backfilled on the box? Or that the boxes weren't exclusively Ravenswood's?
  21. I remember someone with an impressive collection of modern logo marbles. I think maybe it was Duffy? Your shop was selling Pokemon marbles? ... I think we have one Pokemon marble ... but we can't remember whether I should be able to find it in my marble stuff, or whether it would be in hubby's Pokemon stuff.
