Yes, Vacor Sunsets in my post. Neato to see so many Alleys surface in Holland.

Yes, newbie mica! I had a horribly damaged marble, like a solid layer of damage around the outside. Wanted that to be mica. At least you still had a cool marble left over after you found out it wasn't mica.

I should have at least thought of putting something Halloweeny in the calendar yesterday. lol. It didn't cross my mind. http://marbleconnection.com/gallery/image/2385-vacor-sunsets/

Nice picture .... 2011 Cast your vote for the geekiest gift

Circa 1930's. My guess would be "more than I could afford". But that's as close as I can get!

Sure thing. Some beauties and some puzzlers!

By construction workers. What do you think?

They look interesting. I have no confidence in being able to judge if they were Christensen or maybe Peltier, or something else entirely. I think I see some seams. If so, that's a clue. I don't know the answer though.

*shudder*

No Bok Choy available today. So we try Baby Gai Choy. First bite tastes like grass. Then it's a little peppery. I think I like Bok Choy best but this could grow on me.

spooky

Cool! That's a great question. Maybe Ric will know. If he doesn't check in soon, or doesn't know, I know a couple of people I could email.

Probably a repeat for this thread but hey

Boo!

In the first picture I thought it was going to be a coffin. O_o Fun find. "Japan" labels almost always make me smile.

weird effect interesting

this one I do not recognize.

I haven't seen Bob's most recent book. I still want to. There are many caveats to using a book for pricing. However, I still am glad I had my older edition. This is the point where you need to cover your eyes . . . spoiler alert . . . Yes, watching trends on ebay is the best way I can think of for setting prices. If you're selling at shows, I hear some things may be priced differently. Or if you're selling in a shop, maybe you can mark them higher and wait for the right customer. Still, for a good pricing rule of thumb I recommend watching ebay. You could post pictures and some might be willing to give estimates. A lot of people avoid talking price though. Where do you plan to sell them?

Bronze? Interesting. And more clear bases. I like.

Good observation! Good advice for a new person.
