Yup, lots of old pictures were used with new information, and vice versa. I started to make a post about how I thought those sizes would be different from standard American sizes. And then I saw the 00 in the photo and backed it up. I thought size 4 might take us to 1 inch or more, but now I'm not guessing anymore.

Akro. Let's change the question to lazy cork or patch?

I dedicate this thread to Bob since so many had such understandable trouble picking only three. Now no one needs to choose. Post 'em all. Mike Close flower on a leafy base

A whole bunch of super marbles. But hidden? I'm not sure I'm seeing the right one.

Wandering around my computer looking for a marble and I found this.

Okay, I have two so far. A Superman And a naked razor ribbon ... like this here one of Lloyd's.

Fantastic! I adore your custom cases. Brilliant is the word.

Yes, that would be a fun project.

Thanks, Dan. Good job getting the images to post, Steve. The gallery is kinda cool when people figure out how to use it. And what a pretty marble. Sorry about the under the floorboard story. But the bling is awesome.

Congrats on the successful posting. Glad someone was able to answer. I'm useless with handmades. But I'm pretty good at bumping until we get someone who can answer. Thanks Ron for helping out.

I wonder what I could see in the photo if I made the browser background black and turned off the overhead light.

Getting a little misty here. I'm not kidding. That's a prince among Alleys.

Aw, c'mon you guys. Give Bob (and me ;-) some eye candy!

I just checked out the Bone-the-Fish site which replaced the Jump-the-Shark site to see what their voters thought. All 8 of their voters said "never boned" .... but sounds like they were talking about the original run only, and one person said he wanted to "to forget the remakes ever happened." There were 30 of the movies from 1985 to 1995. I didn't realize there were so many. So Raymond Burr did 26, then Paul Sorvino one, and Hal Holbrook three. Doesn't seem like MeTV has access to all 30. They loop back around to the beginning rather quickly.

Not familiar. Will keep my eyes open for a chance to be. I don't know why they kept the series going after Raymond Burr died. However, that wasn't the first time that he was absent and his friends showed up to try the cases instead of him. There was a string of about four episodes during the regular series where there were guest lawyers. Bette Davis was the lawyer in one of the episodes. Have we talked about this here?

You can attach pics from your gallery. Go to the My Media button at the top of the reply window. Hopefully you can find your way around from there. Or I can add them in if you get snagged on that. We'll get them in one way or another.

I also like to search for "Figured Marbles" -- that gets me to a 1907 ad at the elephind link. And then basically I pick up whatever phrases the old papers have and then wander around from there. Along with Figured Marbles, in Pensacola in 1907 you can get Klondyke Glass Marbles with gold spiral colors inside. They're about a penny apiece.

Sweet! "Glass agates" gives me good stuff there. Check out the "Dazzler Agates" from 1932 in Ipswich. And in Ipswich you can get "American Glass Agates" in 1927.

Yeah, Steve ... you would have loved browsing that. Have you checked out the Morphy auction pages? You can a good browsing fix there. And do you have Baumann's book, Collecting Antique Marbles? That's recommended for the handmade Germans.
