lol ... I'm really laughing at marbles ... lol ... I think you could be right about least successful. Certainly not well known. But just for curiosity sake, that brown/black is kinda cool.

yes, yes, it should. thanks (moving) this is not my day!

While they could sometimes be backfilled by modern hands, I'm not aware of other companies using that exact box. It appeared in Ravenswood advertising. (Did you see the ad in post #1 of this thread?) The ad called the box "OUR LEADER".

Thank goodness for google. Is this the show? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066672/

Ohmigosh, that's tiny. ... I always have that reaction when I see a box again, after seeing them on the computer screen ... even my own little Vitro box .... mmmmm .... chiliiii ......

One of the first WOW marbles I remember seeing was something I remember as almost pure "eggyolk" plus the oxblood. Does that ring a bell?

You visited him?! Coolness. And sweet mibs too.

Aaaaah that is GREAT cullet.

Yes! I know someone I can borrow MSW from. Have thought about it.

Bless you. I should start a "moments in ADHD" thread. I just shredded my gas utility bill. .... Including the stub I was supposed to send in with my payment. Trying to be efficient and not let any more clutter pile up since I'm currently trying to make a dent in 15 years of accumulation. At least I had written the check first with my account number on it. Now to find the address of where I need to send it .....

Ox! Ox! Ox!

I post about retro TV so often in the "What are you watching" thread I decided to make it a topic of its own. Just watched a great Diagnosis Murder episode. DM sucked as a crime procedural -- and lacked all plausibility in any way, shape or form -- but it rocked for the guest stars! Today's episode on MeTV had Barbara Bane reprising her role as Cinnamon Carter from Mission Impossible. Also starring as part of her old spy team were Robert Culp from I Spy, Robert Vaughn from The Man from U.N.C.L.E, and Patrick Macnee from The Avengers. On another blast-from-the-past episode they had Joe Mannix return to finally find the murderer of a little girl's father. The old episode had ended with him having broken up the crime ring which resulted in the father's death but not finding the trigger man. So in the DM episode he found the killer. A different actress played the grown-up girl but others of the adult cast members returned.

Well at least I can help us here, thank Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation

I'm not sure about the top and left. The bottom and right show a Pelt structure. The glass kinda sorta looks Rainbo-y, but I'm getting an older feel, more on the NLR end -- early 30's. Or maybe NLR on the bottom and tweener on the right. And then the swirls look like they belong with the 'em, don't they, but would be different maker. I am sooooooooooooo sorry for the missing posts. Was trying to trim on the old end where it wouldn't hurt. For budgetary reasons. Messed up. May I blame ADHD?

Oh no! Did I mess up? Oh no, oh no, oh no. I feel sick. The pinned thread about taking pictures of seams is gone also. I was deleting some old threads on the 2010 end and I must not have noticed when it returned me to the front and then deleted on the wrong end. Was trying to reclaim some storage from places that people wouldn't ever see again. I am so sorry.

That is so very cool. Thank you so much for showing us these special pieces.

When I first discovered this site, they were using Vacors. Now they've have handmades in their stemware. Artistic Stemware

Probably my favorite Vacors are the Sunsets. Some older pix I ran across tonight.

LOL ... lovely as usual. There's a word for when a word doesn't look like a word anymore after you've said it to yourself a lot. But I don't remember it.

strangely calm

Vivid.

I have been feeding the birds in the backyard. I hope I don't come to regret it.

I'm not quite sure what I'm listening to, but I trust it is meant in pure fun.

Hi there. You just sprained my eyeballs. I didn't know micas came in so much variety.

Some insight has recently been shed on that. Others such as Richard and Winnie will be more comfortable addressing it than I am. They'll be by soon, I'm sure.
