Invisible asparagus!

I'm going Vitro or Akro on this second one.

I thought Master on both also. If 5/8", I'll keep that option open.

Yes'm!

Nooooooooo .... I think I will be strong enough to leave it in the bag. Unless there comes a time that I decide the bag is too soiled and I want to display the gun some special way. But probably leave it in the bag for a good long time. That's why I didn't buy it to begin with -- no place to display. I have to start building display and storage areas before I do much more acquisition. But there's a guy at work who asks me if I've picked up any new marbles lately, so I will now have something to tell him about.

I see a place where it says the seller is doing a special offer of $32.50. And it says "Other buyers may have received this offer. The first to accept, gets the deal." I didn't request a best offer. Can people see who has viewed their auctions? I didn't even hit "watch" that I know of. And I get a special offer? Did anyone else see it? Dang, I'm tempted. Nevermind! I took it!

What I'm watching right now instead of whatever I'm supposed to be doing:

Bee-Vo Bell Gun Don Miller posted a picture on facebook of his gun, with a Tiger Eye in it. When you shoot it, a bell rings. I went straight to eBay to see if I could get one cheap. This buy-it-now was tempting to me, but I've spent enough on marbles for a bit. Vintage NOS BEE-VO BELL GUN 204 Plastic Space Gun 1950's. Very Rare | eBay

Stellar!

Nice!

Jabo.

At that size, gotta be Jabo.

My favorite picture of these was posted by @hrjane, if I recall correctly. She had a group of them where one or more still had the kindergarten foil star attached. Some of the pictures in this auction show the ball mill ball crazing pretty well. I can't recall if I ever had one with the star.

Oh, Rick, you didn't have to fess up to that! I fixed your post before I made my post. Sure is funny how things go sometimes. How much can get missed when you only know someone online.

Groan @ Ric. (lol) Happy birthday to you, Chris.

Our activity level is increasing. We might be approaching a critical mass where a trading game could happen again. There's certainly nothing to stop a guess the marble count game with some prize, even if the owner of the jar doesn't want to give their marbles away!

I still didn't feel I was seeing the seams, but maybe I do. I am getting a sense of squareness, not a Mastery V. With the colors, bubbles, and glass texture -- even before I saw your mention of the other marbles that it was with -- I am more strongly leaning Peltier.

Jabo, Champion, Alley all come to mind.

Akro seems a good possibility. However, I'm not really getting a good feel for the structure. Views in different lighting might help. And featuring the cutlines of course. I'm not quite recognizing any Akro style that I know of. The green seems more pale and the base more UV than I would expect on the basic two-color patch known as Royal. I'm also considering Peltier.

Akro Royal. No oxblood.

I am at work now so I haven't checked it out on my home computer, but I finally realized I do have that capacity. When I try to print something, I am offered the option of saving to PDF. And I'm able to choose the page range for printing. So, yeah, I could have gotten it myself. I just never thought to "print" it.

Thanks! I do have Windows 10. I'll hunt for that tool.
