  1. Hmmm ... would be good to see more views. Right now it's sounding like a Rainbo with a missing ribbon. Rainbos can have lots of color. Like in the Woodie family. Posted by Ed Nargel:
  2. Since that has ribbons on both sides, it looks like a Rainbo. Does it have two pair of ribbons, or just the one pair showing in the first view? I believe these have all the color on one side. (Lloyd's pic)
  3. Here's the picture I was thinking of. I don't remember if I blew this up from something smaller or if it came that way. It would have been part of a set of pictures Nancy Frier sent of marbles her father brought straight from the Alox factory. Looks like a red patch in there ....
  4. I'm pretty sure I've also seen a photo of an Alox bag which had at least one patch mixed in with swirls but as I recall it was a smallish picture with little detail visible on the patch. Anyone here with bags with patches in them?
  5. These are the main pix I have of them. These were posted several years ago by Mr. Bales. Came from a Tit-Tat-Toe sample box.
  6. I just got a reminder of what the ID was back when. Someone with experience as a digger said with confidence that it was a dug Marble King.
  7. Besides being blue? Not sure. Don't know where the marble is at the moment.
  8. That's a new one for me. Cool. Marbles live!
  9. I love that box! and the marble is sweet too
  10. Just ran across this set of pics. I was never happy with the ID's given for this one. It wasn't mine at the time, but it is now. I was so fascinated with it, the guy who owned it sent it to me. (:
  11. I can't think of anything close to the blue and red ones. I thought I might have a pic of something close which someone postulated to be Kokomo but I found it and realized I was wrong. Not a good match at all. So I still don't know.
  12. Winnie, I'm not sure what you mean by blue smeared over a white base. That would be typical, right? White base. Blue veneered on top?
  13. Was looking for another picture and ran across this one which demanded to be posted.

    Well, it doesn't taste so much like cabbage. I'm not sure what I would say it tasted like. Reminded me a little bit of asparagus but that might just have been the texture of the stalk. Someone online compared the taste to spinach. The stalk is more skinny and doesn't look like celery the way bok choy does. Edit: I just cooked some more of the yu choy and I notice now that the stalk does still resemble celery in places, but slender celery. Doesn't open up wide at the bottom. And all this is silly -- how much it looks like celery or doesn't -- since it doesn't taste like celery. ... but celery scares me, so that's maybe why I care about that part.

    I almost picked up some "rice vermicelli" which is so fine it apparently takes two minutes to prepare and doesn't appear to require boiling water. But I didn't. Maybe next time.

    But on a happy note, I picked up some yu choy from the Asian market around the corner. Last time my first bok choy. This time my first yu choy. Had never heard of yu choy before but now I've cooked and eaten some.

    Our farmers market is open two days a week for part of the year. Closes this month for the winter. I went there once this season. It was small and kind of made me sad.
  19. I don't think that link is working.
