Ugh ... took apart the plumbing under the kitchen sink. Much twisting was involved -- used both hands. Elbow felt fine last night. But overnight it became inflamed again. Yum. Is this what arthritis sufferers live with on a regular basis? But in positive news, four days ago I ran my first straight mile. And two days ago I ran my second. Booyah.

I have some nice boxed sets I'm planning to post soonish -- always struggling with my picture taking skills -- grrrr -- but they're sweet sets and I still plan on doing it even though Rich is doing such a good job keeping up to date with his photos of the runs.

Lovely arrangement. I think I'll gaze at those for a little while. My bunch were Cairo Novelty -- from a thread from way back about butt-you-know-whats.

*ooph*

I would feel very presumptuous defining WV swirls in an absolute way. I wasn't sure if others would list Mid-Atlantic since they were modern but I'm open. Personally I would be interested in shooter and boulder swirls made by any of the WV companies at any time. I thought I'd seen swirls in Vitro bags but they were a Washington company at the time. When were your Vitro shooters made?

Freaky that they would be so clearly Pelt and there would be so relatively few of them, and only one person would possess them (until Joe distributed them). Leaves the door open to the possibility of other Pelt styles having been made and disappearing without anyone ever finding out about them. Made, discarded, paved over, gone.

Some of them look like 1930's Vitros.

Is that with the blacklight? Or does the green come out like that in regular light? I don't have a guess. I'm just curious.

Good to hear.

I couldn't even say the decade, but I would like to learn it.

Yup. I don't know Wolf, but that's the right name. Are they yours now?

I'm feeling Akro. A dug variety. Not 100% on it though.

15/16". Went over $100 ... which made me glad ... though I was getting excited about maybe getting it for $40 ... right up until 13 seconds before the end.

... one day .....

Absolutely! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! I started the threads 8 years ago! And now I feel a little self-conscious about them being a hodge-podge. So thank you thank you thank you thank you for providing so much extra content !!

I don't know. If Josh didn't recognize it as Jabo then that would seem to rule Jabo out. So I'm trying to stay neutral. Fact is, I'm surprised by a .76" Champ, and I don't see your green in the group shot and I'm not sure about the match between the red shades. But .... trying to stay open-minded.

That last green one is wicked!

Tyger, tyger, burning bright .... Jess is gonna swoon over that snake.

Yup, you got it.

I got some marble mail too ... and one of them looked kinda corky. (A peewee bumblebee jorkscrew. )

Glad to hear it.

I'd guess after the 1950's. Peltier's conventional clear-based banana cat's eyes were introduced in the 1950's.

Thanks for helping me fill in the gaps. Did I mention that when I started the threads they were just gonna be for spare pictures which didn't fit in other threads? That made them sort of a strange hodgepodge. New folks passing through have probably hoped they'd be more comprehensive. And now they're getting there.
