If the name "Blue Blood" wasn't already used for Akros, I'd nominate that! But then again I wouldn't have thought of it if it wasn't for the Akros so I guess that's moot.

Dani once posted a Royal box with a blue/orange combo in it.

After getting used to the 3/4" size, the small ones are soooo cute. (Got some marble mail today. <3 <3 <3 )

So what kind of mib is it?

MFC. What do I win?

That's WONDERFUL news, BJ!!!!!!!!

I do have bits and pieces about Fiedler. This isn't totally organized but here's where I was gathering information together:

Not sure. I don't remember anything about arrest records connected with CA.

I'm particularly fond of Cairos too.

You got took. (those are kinda nice too )

I guess old 2nd hand marbles aren't bad if you can't afford new. I keed! I keed! Beautiful array.

Well, this says only 21 marbles. So it's not exactly the same as Don's. But right era. 1934, the year the patent was filed. P.s., "Moonie" in that era that could have included patches on a translucent base. Berry Pink even used the name "moonie" for some Rainbos.

I have seen a newspaer ad for a package like that. At least I'm pretty sure about that. Might take me awhile to remember which folder it would be in.

A giant MFC is a wonderful heirloom. I trust you shared the importance of the marble in the history of American marble making.

Super duper cool

Big improvement. Makes it seem not nearly as tragic.

That first one just begs for a "goose that lays the golden egg" comment .... too bad my head is flu-ish and I can't think of a good one.

How about Kokomo?

I have a Sunshine Rippled Wheat bag with glowers. The bags which might be from 1938-ish which say Marble King but were Pelts ....

Yeah, I'd say that's what's called opalescent. The glow is uncommon for lutzes?

Happy sorting!

Shiny!

Anyone remember the patent someone showed -- I think it was Winnie -- for a machine to convert preformed rods into marbles. ... if I recall correctly ..... I guess the machine heated the rods up up somehow and then cut them. I think it was a German patent so it wouldn't necessarily apply to guineas. Just mentioning it because it's not such an odd idea to mix canes and machines.
