I LOVE this glimpse into the language and classifications which were in use when mibology was just coming into its own. Ronnie, thank you very much for these pix. By the way, I've seen some terminology which was used in the 1940's and 1950's by Berry Pink. I think that there would be people today taking exception to it too or at least noting how different it was from names we use now. Anyway, even I don't post it in every thread, I'm reading your notes with interest. Thanks again!

Wow. Pretty.

Possibly because of things like this box? ??

My guess would be Asian.

I'm not sure about the big long name to it. Not sure what the "chocolate" is. The Limeade part I recognize. The Oxblood part I recognize. But I don't remember ever seeing another one described with Chocolate on the front. I wonder if they're rare. Or if possibly they're not as rare as they sound .... I mean ... I wonder if maybe people sell them without thinking about mentioning the extra color. If you just keep an eye out for lemonade oxbloods might you find one with brown which someone didn't think to label "chocolate"? Here's a copy of the pic for convenience in case anyone else wants a peek.

This is the marble you have in mind? http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/marbles-mint-4-akro-chocolate-135124014

Where have you heard of such a beast? I'm not familiar with it. ( :

A peerless patch can have oxblood. Oxblood is not that uncommon in turquoise glass. About price ... sorry I'm not up on Peerless Patch prices with or without oxblood.

Ratzilla!

You're giving a lot of credit to whatever that little lump in the auction is. That's very nice of you. The auction looks like a playground rock to me.

"This is in great condition. These pictures do not show its true beauty."

aiyiyi.

That's neat, Ric. Thanks for showing us your loot.

This 'un. 14 hours left. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120834978319

What is your favorite cat's eye? Your most valuable cat eye? Or any cat eye you think might be worth a dollar or more. Here's an easy one to start with. My four color St. Mary's. In my mind I estimate it at around $25. Here's an 8-vaner which was a gift so I couldn't sell it for any price but I would assume it is worth more than a dollar. Agree? I have some blue based Vitros which were also gifts so I wouldn't sell them but I also assume they'd be worth more than a dollar. I'll rustle up some pix of those if no one else posts any. As a cat eye lover I don't usually focus on their value. But the question came up and it's a tough one. Most cat's eyes, even the beloved ones, aren't worth that much. So which ones are worth sorting out if someone is interested in selling? That's the gist of this thread. But if you just want to post a favorite regardless of value, I won't complain!

Got it! Return message sent! Thanks!

That's interesting to see. Thanks!

Great clip! I haven't seen that one. I still have the movie on my "to watch" list. Now I want to watch it even more.

I don't get notifications now the way I used to so I don't know if you get notifications either. And I kinda wanted to talk before your auction was over. :)

Would this one be a candidate for waxing?

I'd have a hard time deciding between Japanese and generic Asian on that one, Terry. With the size I think I'd lean to generic Asian.
