    Pelt?

    Is that aventurine? I think it's a cool Imperial.
  3. Hello. Welcome. You are correct. Vitros. Almost all Tiger Eyes, circa 1950s. On the bottom right are Conquerors, circa 1940s. Not quite sure on the two on the bottom left. (The green/white/orange third from the left on the bottom is also a Tiger Eye even though the base is not clear.)
  4. My thank you note was returned to sender. I knew the name wouldn't be recognized by the post office but I keep getting mail for people who don't live here so I hoped this mail would still get through even with the pseudonym. Oh well .... hope whoever it was realizes how grateful and delighted I was/am/would be.
  5. Hello! Long time. Nice colors. I'm thinking Alley now.

    Ummmm .... I think maybe when you deleted the other post you picture might have disappeared from this one too?
  7. What? Oooooh .... I get it!
  8. The ends of the corkscrew ribbon would be at the seams. But the seams might not be as conspicuous on corks. And if you do have a cork then the cork ribbon is usually so distinctive seams aren't necessary to see. And the ribbon is so dominant that it does give the marble a natural "top" and "bottom" which you might be likely to refer to instead of calling it a "seam". No "pontil" on corks. Corkscrews are machine made marbles. Pontils generally refer to marks on the ends of handmade marbles. Up to you which end you call top or bottom on a cork.
  9. Listening to a "50's Pop" infomercial/fundraising show on PBS. Didn't realize how many of my favorites were from the 50's. Hey ... I was young then. (*cough cough*)
  10. Can you imagine Jim Morrison at 71?
  11. That blue, green and black looks familiar.
  12. What do you estimate such a paperweight would be worth? And how would that differ from the marble version?
  13. Oh noes ... none of my marbles on this page. *sheepish* I've still only taken a few pictures.
  14. That's teh awesome, Alan. Thanks! lol Saving!
