So is this it? (what Lou posted in the test forum - oooh that is a BIG pic - that would probably be why you couldn't upload it) (p.s., hi, welcome to the board. :-)

That's a big little guy, huh? Congrats! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you everyone. Any last words before the thread gets tucked away in SH, or I think maybe the Archive now?

Chinese marbles. Not sure what it would cost to get them in general. I'm thinking a buck or two apiece? But I'm truly not sure. (and I don't offhand know where to go to look it up - don't know who sells them these days)

Gorgeous. Great info. Thank you very much for sharing.

Dangit! I was THAT close. I can't abide cats. Except for Brother, Joe, the Batweasel, Jean Ann, Kedo, Erbert, and maybe some others. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. Thanks for playing though.

By extras, I meant "more marbles". There's a lot under discussion right now with an Ajax, plus 104 more marbles. I was interested in the value of an Ajax marble all by itself.

Griff I'm not surprised about. But I mighta thought you had a chance, Sue, with someone named popculturizm. :-)

Heck, Doogle's got an admirer! I'll do ANYTHING for him!

Is the agate hand-faceted? It's perty in any case.

So what would anyone here pay for just a single Ajax advertising mib or just a single Bonux mib with no extras? $20? $50? More? Less?

fwiw, I'm going to be happy when my halves get here. Thank you Rosalie (and Dustin for influencing my decision to bid). :-)

*blush* Thank you very much for the compliment Doogle. :-) I really do suck at schmoozing. I know a lot of it is fear. Seen too many foolish people lapping up other people's praise and believing it. Don't want to wake up one morning and find I was a fool. But LOL I am a BIT jealous of the people who have fun with all the bragging and cavorting. (Dang, I sound smug, don't I. SOORRRRYY!) We all got our own comfort levels. :0) Takes all kinds. So what do you think, guys? Auction ended at $18.36. Okay price for a Woodstock in spite of the story?

*whew* Thanks Gene for pulling my poulet out of the soup! I'd hate to have posted an inaccurate image.

I got the halves auction. :-)

(I understand that animated emoticons are helpful in schmoozing. Do I have that right? )

lol. oh boy. I'll finally get to learn! I have a schmooze mentor!

Pop, check out this thread: Advertising On Marbles...ajax & Bonux

Nothing, oh nothing. Ignore those. They're nothing. *whistles nonchalantly*

Agree that looks like oxblood (and yup Bo, to me that looks like a japanese mib, and yup very cool - wouldn't mind having it!) And agree the ox(like) part is accidental. Fwiw, Gary, my suspicion is that it likely is copper based. I don't THINK that old marble makers used aventurine on purpose. But I do like to think they used copper-related colors. I want to believe. ;-) M!b$ pic shows a trend I've seen. When we think of accidental ox - the kind of glass which many non-newbies might agree looks oxlike - we are most often looking at things in a blue to green range. Or so it has seemed to me. And whether or not mib makers used copper-based colors for that range, it is true that SOME people used copper to make those colors, at least the aqua shades. I started a thread at LOM about the aqua <--> ox connection. Here's that link in case anyone is interested. *whew* now I need to put my head down. This is such a heavy subject. :-)

well, seems a fair bet they aren't played with. (lol. good catch!)

Foiled again!

I bid on it for the Ajax marble. I would like one of those. But I have no idea what one of those would be worth and stopped bidding LONG ago.

This 'un?

By "different state", I meant "not Maine". That is, not the same state as the guy who we knew was making fake boxes. I noticed the Ohio, and was saying that you didn't seem like you were Pavcraz. No lie. Sorry for the miscommunication.
