Spill!

I'm thinking of something I read in a newspaper from the time of MFC.

In the olden days, kids would go to bike shops to get their steelies. Coz that's who had the ball bearings.

Steelies!

Thank you for sharing this news. Condolences to Joe's family.

They're not fancy but the colors are nice. What size are they?

What size?

Is the pink ribbon metallic?

I'll fix it.

Agreed. I would call Stefan's cat's eyes.

That could be illustrating Sue's point about the white latticinio threads. Or maybe whoever was presenting those marbles was just presenting his more interesting looking ones. Did Maslach do plain white? Edit: Nevermind. I looked a little further into the link Stefan posted and see some white latticinios from Maslach.

Kewl We need more European packaging. Thanks for sharing.

Sue Cooper says to send everyone her love and has this to add: My very first instinct says vintage. If so, definitely polished The only way I would change that feeling, would be to have it in hand. Im not familiar with anyone doing that style Course, that doesnt mean much anymore!!! SO many people doing stuff!! But, the color of the clear looks old and the surface looks polished. For a contemporary artist, theres no excuse for the glass not being a BRIGHT crystal clear and the surface being wet minty shiny. Its not a typical swirl pattern. But, I certainly wouldnt call it rare, either I havent done extensive studying as some of our modern-day experts seem to have!! LOL But, my feeling on the pattern would be Either a later date, when detail and precision wasnt as tight. Or, running towards the end of the cane, when some of the other parts of the pattern may have run out. Maybe, both The second choice being a result of the first. I would be very surprised to find that its contemporary Unless, theres someone seriously channeling the vintage for fun, not money. White Latticinio just wouldnt be the right choice for that!!

First response was "Steven Maslach. Or Jody fine."

I sure don't know. But I have somewhere to ask. Will check back if I find out anything.

^^ how I learned about Alley swirl patterns.

O_o

Thanks for sharing.

simple elegance

Lot 216 is a new one to me. With the green bumpy lines.

I was thinking about leaving my comment as "!!!!" Then I saw the reference to the Dulite line. I thought that was only a 1930's name. Are those the big ones?

I like the catalog format.

Cow tail is a name some people use for biscuits and red eye gravy. For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141216212349 versus http://www.ebay.ca/itm/131143194158
