What's the question? Are you asking if this is an uncommon combo to find at that size? I surely don't know the answer since I'm not aware of enough super-sized Akros to begin with.

I meant to comment! I musta gotten distracted while I was trying to think of something clever to say about big eyes or big lashes. What a beautiful monster!

Linda Moore Simmons recently posted a number of different confetti marbles she said her dad made at Vitro. She said he called them Sprinkles. I was unaware of the variety. I didn't see one like that among the ones she posted.

I know that dream!

... someone plays "pelt" on the Scrabble board and you think that shouldn't count because it's an abbreviation, and shouldn't it be capitalized? ....

Wow!

Thanks. Good to know. .... and neat bags.

Fun! I see from her biography that the rest of the memoir may not be so very fun. But this is still cool.

picture perfect!

Well, I just did an experiment and found that you get a single line when someone on your ignore list posts. It's relatively unobtrusive. It says, "This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by so-and-so. View it anyway?" They'll still be able to see your posts.

Did you find the "Manage Ignore Prefs" option in the drop-down menu under your name?

I just got a December 1931 Playthings magazine. It has several marble and marble-related entries. Including something from Albright -- I haven't seen them often. Thinking about setting up the scanner for this one ... and I need to find a cat-free surface so I can go through the magazine properly.

Is there one company which would have been more likely to have 18 marbles in their bag than another? My guess before today would have been Peltier, possibly as jobbered by Rosenthal. And as of today, my Rosenthal guess is a little firmer. In December of 1931 Rosenthal advertised "Sure-Shot Glass Marbles" as "Special Numbers for Jobbers". The bag pictured is the double compartment one Berry Pink patented, which has more than 18 marbles. But is that wishful thinking? Did multiple companies sell 18 marbles per bag?

Sorry to hear you were unwell. Glad you are better!

Cats are just plain awesome.

There's one in every family!

Aw c'mon Galen, start a CAC eye candy thread!

Neat, Roger! Edna, I don't remember ever hearing about your bag collection.

Postcard perfect
