The Leighton thread is on page 3. Sorry for being in such a hurry to move it. It was a compliment to the thread.

Are any threads in the archives which you need to have in general chat? I thought I moved back the ones which I moved over this afternoon.

Not sure what you mean about the Bennington thread not going to the top. Did you post in it before or after I'd archived it? In any case, I have moved it back to the main area now. About the rest, I got a little gung ho tonight. I hadn't archived in awhile, so I just dove right in. Started too close to the front. In future, I'll also wait for a thread to be at least a month old before I move it over to the archives. Also, I'll gladly take suggestions on what to archive.

I'm sorry. I hadn't archived in awhile so I just got started back this afternoon. I started a little too close to the front. I'll move move that Leighton one back over, and try to wait until something is at least a month old before I move it to the archives. Who decides? I'd gladly take suggestions. Otherwise, yep, I've been the one who decides.

The hot water test is less destructive. Bakelite has a distinctive chemical smell after you've let hot tap water run over it.

Awwww how sweet . . . about the lizard I bought you! sorry to bust that illusion. Now I want to get you a lizard! But Parrot lizard sounds good too! Um, no, different name. But same birthday! So if you know mine, you know theirs! lol sorry for playing coy. Will let 'em give their name. or not. :-) :-)

Ah. no. I know who that is. We're a lot alike. :-)

Maybe the mailman kep it. The one I just found in my box doesn't have green. On the other hand, I forgot that I had any micas. Until I found 3 in my handmades box.

Me? Of course I'd okay you to post it. I didn't remember getting my lone parrot from Canada though. I'm hunting for my bird now. Where did I put it!

Even more recognition. Gotta love it! This one was a segment on TV news. Check out the video. There's a few seconds of sharp marble action which left me wanting to see more. Plus a touching interview. Very sweet. Action News 6abc.com

Neat! Great pic!

Are you saying none in that superman run had aventurine? Some of Bo's examples, presumed to be from that run, have been the topic of much conversation because they do have aventurine.

Been looking at Jabo bricks. So far haven't found any close enough to try to fool anyone with. Still hunting. :-)

If you put it up for ID outright one of my first questions would be about what size it is. But then after you told me, if you told me 5/8" for instance, I'd have to go do some research to see how many 5/8"-ers would have been made like this. Still under the impression that most Jabo runs in the last coupla years were 3/4", but not sure about that anymore. Have lost track.

because you believed it to be Alley. Is it still Alley?

Yup, pretty sure Alley, coz you posted it before. And yup, I mighta suspected Jabo if you hadn't said otherwise.

Alley?

Yes, I understood single vs. multi-stream about how Galen described it. I thought part of Fiedler's genius was his skill in choosing glass which could melt together in that single receptacle but not blend. So that the colors would stay distinct when they came out the other end in the single stream.

If that is so, then this is a new concept to me. I thought that Christensen flames were single-stream marbles.

So so cute. Congrats Gampie. Hehe, BJ's a Gampie. Hehe. Adorable.

Nice Vacor!

Jabos and Ravenswoods might be a good place to look for similar appearance examples. But the same problem comes up. Will those who collect Ravenswoods have that many Jabos to place next to 'em for comparison photos? Eneeway, here's page 2 of a favorite link, with a response at the end there from dink1111 about how they're gonna have to look through their Jabo mountain to see if there were any Ravenswoods in it.

A newbie might consider it educational. Sue's not-cork. Your corks. It might not be the lesson David was daring us to try to teach. But it might still be educational if approached in a positve spirit. I'd think about adding some examples but as I said in that other thread, the examples I have right now are ones which go the other way. They're non-Jabos which I was told were Jabos. I still could try to get a pic of the special runs which I think look like Champion furnace mibs! LOL. But I guess those wouldn't apply either. Champion furnace mibs aren't vintage, are they?
