Congrats to the Cards.

Spiffy!

That used to be a puppy?

Wondering what all folks have by way of trophies. A few have been posted before. Thought it would be nice to bring examples together.

hilarious

Maybe they had one good year of Fiestas early on, the way early Michelangelos were cooler than later? Total guess. Will wait for otras opinions now.

(I have a stash of emoticons down here. It was easier to call up their addresses before the latest format change. )

Well, they look like Peltier. But Chuck wouldn't ask us about something obvious. So does that mean they're something else? Kokomo?

Yeah ... I'll be ready! lol Ummm ... how many national and international championships have you won again?

I think that one's a Fiesta. Kinda meaty looking (in a good way) compared to the catalog photo I just pulled up. But I think it's a match.

The most rainbo-y, gradient-y (notice how diplomatically I avoid saying the word blend ) marbles I've ever seen might be the Jabo Tributes. Love the effect. Windy did a sweet job with hers here. http://marbleconnection.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=9085 I bet closer up pix would reveal even more distinct colors. I've gotten lost trying to count the colors on mine.

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.
