It's that time of year again. Hopefully this year's results will be .... neater ..... than last year's.

neato!

To me Matt's marble looks like a white ribbon in a very dark cherry base. Does that ring any bells for anyone?

truly scrumptious

Games you might have seen decades ago.

No you di'int!

Just got done with tonight's episode of Supergirl. Turns out Supergirl and her sister are fans of Homeland, which was strongly recommended to me yesterday.

I do love Imperials with long seams.

I think Alley on the first. Nice one there too. Is that the one called a West Virginian?

Yes. Vacor for both. Pretty sure the second one is a Vacor Hurricane.

Agree. Beautiful Akro corkscrew.

I could see that being either WV swirl or a Vacor. But with no cutlines showing, I guess I'll lean WV swirl.

Some Alley photos Larry posted:

Eeek! I think there may be new evidence, saying that even the clear based ones are Alley, not Champ. Something Larry Alley said on Facebook about someone else's clear-based green one. Backed up with reference to p. 58 of his book.

Thanks. Back to gazing now.

So very much -- a veritable feast -- I feel silly asking about a simple clay -- but does one of those clays have a special symbol on it?

oh my goodness oh my goodness!

Mike, that tunnel look on your K&M is something else. Am I seeing Peerless Patch boulders up there? Bill, thank you for the underwater picture. Looks like a sea creature. Very interesting. Thanks for the Bennie, Bumblebee. I have some clays I could fish out. But mostly I wish I could find the long ago article which described a game they played with boulders a hundred years ago.

And a few more. (these were posted by BobandPat)

How about a few simple Rainbos?

The Bloody Mary was one of the first I went out of my way to acquire.
