Thanks Steph, I'll forward the photos.....Joe

After taking the marble out into the Daylight and photographing it I believe the base is green and not blue so "Flaming Dragon"/////// I have two more photos but the sight would not allow them because of to many gigs. Steph if you send me e-mail address again I will forwared the photos to you and maybe you can post them, Thanks to all.....Joe McDonough

Hi all,here of the are the photos of the peewee. The color of the base looks green in the photos but in hand it looks blue. Four ribbons of red yellow and orange.

I have been giving my money away to children for more than thirty years, funny thing is I have more money now than I have ever had! Very strange. I guess that saying" cast your bread upon the waters" works sometime.....Joe McDonough

Million dollar smiles from the children I do magic for, every child gets a magic quarter and I get a million dollar smile, great investment.....Joe McDonough

Hi Steph and all, an interesting fact about the peltier honey amber bananas, the yellow bananas are not yellow but pure white and appear yellow because of the honey amber color of the base marble..... Joe McDonough

A REALLY BIG SLINGSHOT.....Joe McDonough

The statement from any potential buyer would be " Prove It"......Joe McDonough

As I have discussed before on this forum, I had advised Alan Basinet to sell all his high priced marbles. If it has a value high enough to make a profit it is being reproduced somewhere in the world.Very little in this world is not reproducible right now, most rare gems known to man, even diamonds are being produced in factories. I would advise anyone with really valuable items to sell them and take their profit or suffer the loss later of reproductions flooding the market. So Far as I know now silver and gold are safe although many counterfeits are out there, still the specific gravity and measurements cannot be duplicated. Good luck to those holding these items.....Joe McDonough

I suggest you go to the national marble museum and download and printout copies of the national champions I donated to the museum. the boys riding the Elephant from Nay Aug park in Scranton, Esther the female marble player and other 1920's/1930 Champions would make a great backdrop for your display.....Joe McDonough

Hi Steph, If you feel like a brain-eating zombie don't go to D.C., you'll die of starvation! No brains in D.C. .....Joe McDonough
