Yay!!!!

And those are beauties, Edna.

Good to see you kicking too, Lloyd.

This is my very hottest marble. No glow pic at this time, but it scorches.

It's hand-gathered. Best guess to date is it came in a Gropper Opal Agates box and could be Pelt.

That Jabo caught me by surprise!

(Your other glowers are sweet, too. )

almost like being there

Well, it's gorgeous.

Is it really antique?

wow ... where is that from?

Just to clarify, 1930's and later, right?

I would keep them as a novelty.

I don't know about their value, but they're cool to have as a representative of marbles used for industrial purposes.

I think that's a marble there in the spout:

As many know by now, a special marble run was done in his honor. Many friends and Bobby's daughter were there.

Here is a link to Ant's thread about them at Jabo Land. (link)

no idea of age but I love that style.

I'm going to buy that block.

Nifty!

I had some which glowed blue.

Not the blue which means no glow but actually with blue light.

Will try to get a pic.

Guess about what?

Those are super.

I like the dark blue shades too. anti-glow.

Well done!

Neat
