  1. I love your collection. You show the benefits of specializing.
  2. It was the calligraphic motion of the ribbon which made me think Alley. I don't know enough about the range of patterns in CAC ribbons though.

    Oklahoma is out but Wisconsin is on to the Final Four. Go Badgers!
  4. some straight lines in there. very good to know.
  5. Someone reminded me of the little box here: "1931" Collection A 1931 comic strip, marbles which look like they came from close to 1931. And a little Japanese box. Always possible that someone got the little box separately and tucked it in later. But if we're going by general age of group ....
  6. "In my Japanese box are all kind of different cut off" That is good information! Maybe you could arrange your box so that they're all pontil end up and get a photo.
  7. Oh, I didn't answer type. They're Rainbows. Called "Tri-Color Rainbows". At least most of them are. One looks like it almost has a Rainbow Red pattern, but with three colors around the middle instead of two. That's a little different.
  8. The clays are fun-looking too. When do you think they were from?
  9. Late 50's to early 60's is my estimate.
  10. I more or less accept that the one said to be German is German. I wish I had more evidence of it. Also, I still want to think some were made in China. But most transitionals I see do have the spidery pontil, so by the numbers I just think "Japanese" when I see a transitional. Winnie, what kinds of cutlines do your transitionals in that lot have?
  11. The patch is an Akro pattern. Not sure I recognize the colors though.
  12. Wondering if this is close to one of Darla's mystery marbles. And suddenly wondering if Anacortes is a possible suspect for them. (I don't know who made it.)
  13. Ah. Yes. I think of practically all transitionals as Japanese. I have one which is called German but when I see transitional I still think "likely imported from Japan".
  14. It has turned out to be a very good thread. But hopefully I'm cured of asking about exotics. Could be I'll do it again in a year or two when I convince myself it's safe to go back in the water. Sometimes I trick myself like that.
  15. I made an omelet to muffle the call of the ice cream.
  16. Oh, that's wicked! *must not think about ice cream sandwiches in back of freezer*

    No, not me. Ann?
  18. I don't know much (about CAC's) but I can see how those would be distinctive. Edit: Ah, you! LOL. Now I see the shamrocks!
