The single marble is different from the others. What's the name for that one?

I practice shooting marbles. I use cat's eyes and Jabos. It was really hard for me to settle on a set I was willing to ding up but I finally bit the bullet. I'm horrible at shooting but I don't give up. If I'm ever near another mibster and can talk them into a game, I'll be an easy mark but hopefully not too embarrassed.

ah. thanks. I'm usually good at getting words from the context but that wasn't coming through for me at all.

If you'll give it to us this year, we'll let you have it next year. Promise.

tellowins ? definition? please. thanks.

p.s. snicka fricka fracka grrrrrrr

Amazing. A bridge between past and present. So cool to have stone marbles and know who made them. And they have so much personality. When you mentioned you had them I had no idea there would be such variety.

that is so cute! um, sorry, no info to add. Just sayin!

Ouch!

That last one is pretty photo. In those photos the fluff looks like furnace brick.

Bet someone could post an example of a marble where two glass colors blended. I've tried just a little to find an example but it's trial and error to make them come up in searches. Looks like maybe both some blending and some overlaying going on in Bo's marble in post #6 here: http://marbleconnect...showtopic=15038 How would you characterize the yellow-green on Craig's marble at the beginning of that thread? Anyone have what they think are more obvious examples?

Not sure now. Peltiers do often have oven brick inside.

LOL thank you Griff!

Wow, that blue flower is gorgeous. (the pink banana is sweet too. )

The black cross-thru is Asian. It's totally sweet. I wish I had one. Not MK though. Same with the white cross-through. Those six-vaners are Asian. The 4-color cat eye is the modern version from MK. Not St. Marys. Ain't I just a ray of sunshine!

Yes, I have questions. I'm going to send them by PM.

Congrats! We'll be ready!!111!!!!!

Nice, Clyde. Concise. The fluffy splotchy spots I see look more like hits than particles to me. Not sure what sort of crackle you mean if you don't mean the fluffy spots ...... Have you the section on damage at Marblealan's site? http://www.marblealan.com/FAQ.htm Whooops. The pix didn't load for me. Darn. The vocabulary might help you still but the pix sure would have been nice. Oh hey, I clicked on a couple of the missing pix spots and I was sent to the Wayback machine. You might still be able to see pix.

lol - sorry. I don't usually post ... or even pay attention to .... sports. I got excited! Went to extra innings. Brewers started out really slow this year then wow.

Good year for Wisconsin!!!!!!!!!

yeah boy! good job!!!!!

With very clear glass I would lean toward Vacor. I'd estimate this last decade for the Vacor version.

Be careful if you have metal calipers. Ya don't wanna add any scratches to the marbles.
