I bet you already have Bob humming the theme to Big Bang. ... wait ... Bob may not have the DVD's so he might not be familiar with the episode naming convention ..... well, you have me humming it!

Adorable! And wonderful you keeping the traditions alive. Does she have any friends to pull into the games?

May I come over and sit on your balcony?

quite!

Has anyone mentioned measuring several marbles at once to minimize the effects of rounding errors? You could take ten or twenty or more marbles of the same type and get the total volume using water displacement. If you're just interested in the density of the glass then the diameters of the various marbles aren't needed. Yeah, watery mess, and all. But that's my contribution to this topic.

Why are you so sure it's new? Also, does it have seams?

That's quite lovely. I still favor using the water soluble polymer coating since the haze is so bothersome.

No! What material is that? Looks like it clotted ... or curdled.

German handmade It's called a Latticinio

I'm thinking Vitro. Might be an Anacortes Vitro -- but that would put it around the late 80's or 1990. And the other marbles we're seeing today are so much older than that.

Could be Akro Royal.

(You can see some examples of seams here: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/17125-tips-for-posting-photos-for-id/)

This marble probably has two seams -- the places where the red ribbons join up with each other. Those would be good to show us.

Could it be a Peltier Rainbo?

What a fun search that must have been. What a great find.

Since it's red, I would agree with ausman's slag call but instead say possibly CAC or Akro.

Hi zeppelin. Welcome. Did you try to upload an image? Looks like the upload failed. The image might have been too large.

In one of Leonard Nimoy's first roles -- an uncredited role in a Francis, the talking mule movie -- Nimoy says that their football coach has lost his marbles.

My go-to "stop complaining" thought is the story I heard about a grandfather in Afghanistan rooting around for grass to feed his starving grandchildren.

My cat is facebook friends with Victoria Jackson of SNL fame. I sent her a friend request and she didn't accept it. But she accepted my cat's.
