My daughter and Son in law visited Mike Barton @ his studio. These are the mibs she sent me for my Birthday.

She had a great time visiting Mike and seeing all his Artwork and various collections.

Not sure about "Maypoles" but the second one can pass for a "Barberpole" Both nice though

Very nice,love the handmades !

Thanks for the post, My son is USCG . I'll have to forward this to him.

While packing up all my curio cabinets, I started to wonder if any other hobby makes use of flower frogs ? Heres most of mine. I find it as much fun finding items to display my marbles on or in as finding actual marbles.

Ditto, what Galen said!

I've never been to Jamestown long ride no direct route. I go to NYC often ,my son lives on Staten Island, of course the most direct route there fron CNY is NY-PA-NJ-NY. Sounds funky but direct and fast. I have no idea what this reply has to do with marbles.. LOL Mark

Hey Pen,

I live outside Syracuse, No shows,clubs, nor have i met anyone that collects marbles. Lonely hobby around here. LOL

Hello, Wow, That advertisement shows a ball that looks alot like this one from my Grandfathers house ( same place my marbles came from). I can't

really tell what it was made from but it's hard (now), hollow, And it has something in it to make it rattle. My Aunt told me that the indentation

on the side came from showing it to me when I was a kid.. LOL Oh it's approx. 3&1/2 inches diameter.

Hello,

I finlly feel I can contibute something, lol I live in outside Syracuse NY. This thread made me remember this box. You may be disappointed .

J.F. Frieder co. The inside box lid has instructions but no date. Sorry about the pics I've only had this computer about a week and havent figured it out yet.

Hello,

Mine corks therefore Akro. I picked it and a couple others up at an antique show in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. If I had more money with me I would have bought more. ( goog thing ) LOL Very Eye catching !

Is this in the ballpark?

Maybe He'll drop the $11:00 shipping after selling it for that much ;-)
