Finally snow! The grass is about 90% covered right now .... but they're using the b-word .... so maybe maybe ..... maybe we can get enough to shovel and have a few drifts to spare. *fingers crossed*

Don't make me break out my guinea chips, peoples! I will ... Actually I cherish my guinea chips. A gift from a friend.

Ron got my appetite whetted for some more CACs.

At that size, Champion wouldn't even occur to me. Looks quite Jabo to me.

Peltier sounds right to me.

Hi Golfer! Welcome. Interesting hobbies. Marbles sure can be addictive. *googling lightning rod balls now* Ooooh, pretty.

I wish I had kept my Master Cloudys. And my Akro oxbloods. And my tweener Peltier Ketchup and Mustards. But mostly if I had every bumblebee I would be happy.

Yes. Niiiiiice! Say "wow" to your brother in law for us! He's a keeper.

I wish I had saved every bumblebee I ever found.

The greens intrigue me. Is the green ribbon also on a green base?

That looks like a lot of work. Was it everything you hoped for?

Our turkey chef is still in bed, so I don't know when dinner will be.

Merry Christmas, Bob.

Jealous! We're having a green Christmas in Wisconsin.

Hope someone can help. There's gotta be one out there, right? I've been looking for a button forum off and on for years. So far no luck.

And thanks for the reminder that Gropper jobbered for CAC also. Weird. Small company. Operating short time. Had both its own line and jobbers. Okay. I knew that. Why does it seem so strange to me? If Albright just bought their marbles after CAC had already closed that would have had to have been a whole lot of marbles since Albright advertised having glass marbles. With no mention of "while supplies last".

Akro. No doubt in my mind.

It's cute. I hope it's real.

Yes, they're pawnmasters also. Whoever IDs their marbles knows a whole lot, which makes their periodic errors interesting to me in an abstract way. Do we know if they started out as marble collectors? Or pawn people who just put in a lot of time studying since they had marbles to sell?

sweet hybrids, jten

Dang, what lens did you use to get that?!!!
