Beautiful. It's still pretty cool here so far, and we keep a fan going for the little one. (Expecting a high of 60 today.)

That's something for us to consider. Most addresses are turned into links automatically. Supposedly when you paste the website address into your post, it turns into a link automatically when you submit the post. The address needs to start with http though, not www. There is a button in the panel at the top of the reply window which can add the http part if your address doesn't come with it already. When I look at the ebay page, I don't see an http. But when I copy the address from there and paste it here, the http magically appears at the beginning for me. Do you do that? Copy the address from your ebay auction and then paste it here? And then does it not turn into a link automatically when you submit the post? Experiment here and let me know.

Probably in the sense of them being transparent swirls. The name "snotties" didn't apply exclusively to CACs back in the day.

Anyone have a bag of snot agates? ... which I'm guessing is Rosenthal because of there being 38 ... and now I wonder if Rosenthal made the snot agates themselves at the Lawrence Glass Novelty Company.

Yes, that's what I meant. and kewl!

That1 .... is yours a transitional?

Oooooh. That's different.

Structure? Corks? Swirls? Seams? Hand-gathered?

That's a definite puzzle, Ray. I'm feeling your frustration. But I don't know what it is myself. That's why I'm just watching.

Oh yeah! Beautiful!

It is listed as pre-1970. I went to Catholic school in first grade.

I hope they had $600 to spare and this wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime splurge for them.

Yup.

Yes indeedy! Akro Oxblood Patches!

Rainbo. And 7-up.

Yes, a comedienne. She became famous for offbeat stand-up comedy in the 1980's. And for the past twelve years she has had an afternoon talk show.

And thank you, Yumi! I guess there's still a question of whether marbles started being sold under the Santa Claus brand right away. I don't suppose they're mentioned in the trademark app?

Yes! Looks like it could also be a 7-up. What does the base look like?

She's one of the best this country has.

very nice now I have to dig out my few wirepulls!

That's fantastic to hear. Now you're making me curious about what those other items are. But wow. Good stuff! A wee bit earlier than my working theory for when Japanese transitionals came from. But not too far off. 29 makes more sense than the 1940's did, or 1950's. Yay!

Good work, Brian!
