Hello. Welcome! I'm pretty sure I know what the 99 stands for, but I'll let you tell.

Which show is that? Going to guess wrong reading but since I'm not likely to go to a show anytime soon I miss a lot of announcements. Edit: My kitten is too frowny. I need to change to a smiley kitten. Edit 2: That's better.

Was looking for my lutz peewees. Didn't find them. Looks like I'm going to have to clean house. (oh no!) Found this. A little over 5/8". In hand looks like a dark green glass marble. Or a gumball. But it has a strange mark which in my newbie days I thought was a pontil. And it has a few tiny reddish spots. With the ginormous pictures it's looking more and more like stone. ???

Whatever Larry's marble is, that "nine" is epic.

0 degrees when I woke up. Up to 1 degree now. I do love that we finally got snow though. We had a little bit of green peeking out of the ground in December. In Wisconsin. That was so wrong. Now we have a mini snow bank at the curb from the snow plows, and now things look right. Maybe warming up to 30 by Sunday!

No kidding. Thanks for joining in. Rodney's name was so familiar to me that I didn't even realize he only ever had two posts. *doh*

This look kind of wintry (Morphy)

Someone send Galen a snowball, special delivery.

Vitro Agate concrete barrel Just what you always needed but never knew ....

I've seen one of these before. Can't remember where. Moorish Fort. Source: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331205131926

Last discussion I remember about Kelly pool said that they had 15 numbered balls. Then a link was given to this page about magic squares: http://mm.bglances.com/1-08-04-00%20Magic%20Squares.htm

The marbles in this poster top out at 60 mm, so between 2-1/4 and 2-3/8". http://marbleconnection.com/topic/15578-german-marble-posters/ (Found that while looking for another ad where I'm pretty sure I saw a bit of fancy talk describing why you might want large marbles.)

Ohhhhhhhh

Thanks. It seems kinda old ... but of course Champ was around a long time, longer than I tend to remember. Since 1938 ... Do you have a guess for what decade it might have come from?

Can't remember who was said to be the most likely maker on this one.

Not sure how old this is ....... And really not sure why I had it in the "Mystery" album in my photobucket account!

I spoke too soon. It's snowing now. And there's a rabbit in the backyard. Why would a bunny be out in weather like this?!

6 am? We're a 3 to 11 shift family too. That's why I set my alarm to make sure I get up by 11 a.m. Just made it today and wished I could sleep longer. No snow here. And a balmy 4 degrees. It was minus three when I woke up yesterday so this is good.

Inorite! After my first just-for-the-fun-of-it marble acquisition, I was one of those people who started collecting with the hope of making a profit. Learning as I went. I thought it was a CAC, which meant maybe it could help pay for my investments, and I think I got around $50 for it. Now it doesn't look like a CAC to me but I don't have another guess. Speaking of those early days, man, oh man, do I wish I still had the World's Fair cigar box back with all the beautiful Akros and simple but sweet Master Cloudies which were in it. ... which I got for $20.
