I'm going to have to disagree with the idea that all the mossy cork/swirls were pre-cork. I think mossy cork/swirls continued to be made for awhile. Corks were around by early 1930, whereas Carnelians were advertised as "new" in Jan. 1934. How long would Akro have been calling them "new"? Paul, are you thinking of Cardinals? They were made before corks were first made, and had a definite pre-cork and cork version. Or Imperials? Those had a pre-cork version and the box stayed in use with other marble types. Final edit (and fwiw): The mossy swirls were still being advertised in Sept. 1936. The popeye boxes had them in it in the ads. I've got mossy swirls in ads for 1934, 1935 and 1936. That's a long time to have them hanging around as old stock. At least I can't help thinking so. .

What is the question?

This might be a mention of your game: source (11 MB pdf file)

I wouldn't want to discount Vacor just from the photos. Just sayin' Course you have them in hand and can tell whether the glass is new. . . . @ me.

That is a pretty cool looking game. I know some adults who might be willing to start playing again with that - since they wouldn't have to bend all the way to the ground. ( :

Yeahhhh .... I'm on the money list. lol. Never had such a laff over being poor! hehe Don't tell them what list I really belong on. I want to keep getting the catalog!

I don't know Estepp, but I couldn't positively swear never to have had any transactions with him. lol http://r33b.net/

I did a search on all the sites where I post. I don't remember ever giving my address out, and could not find it using search engines. Paul, you? Have you given out your name and/or address? I ask because you're relatively new to these sites (yes?) so you'd be more likely to remember all the types of posts you'd made, and that would also give a window to when the addresses might have been harvested - if they were. Anyway, I think the addresses were obtained a different way. jmho.

Catalog. Auction listings. I believe they are the items listed here: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/22968/page1

I don't think my address is on the boards.

Looks it to me. There are a lot of versions of cyan though. What is the range which would be called Cyan to slag collectors?

I have no idea what I did to get on Morphy's mailing list. I was very surprised when this morning's mail held a magazine looking thing filled with marble photos. Pretty cool though.

Hi TallPaul. This is a fine area for such a question. Some of the marble collector clubs have newsletters. Also, there are magazines about glass which sometimes feature marbles.

I like your collection photos. Jeff's pic suddenly made me think how exciting it could be to have a juggling act at a marble show.

I can see the price of cyan slags skyrocketing.

Sweeet! May I hold it please! ( :

Maybe it's a ......... transgender ... no wait, it's a .... I forget ..... what are those called? oh yeah, tweener

We do, don't we. You are certainly photogenic. Do you even have a bad side? I like this one of you.

Does it have any glow under blacklight? (not a pro question - just a trivia lover's question since I remember reading about antique sulphides glowing)

I can change titles. Drizzle away! p.s., is the green one a Rainbow style marble?

Might should change the title to "Best Drizzle". I don't recognize any transitionals there. I am seeing some great stringers though. And that's practically an umbilical cord on the first one. freaky.

Here's my face. That's all you need to know.
