    Fire away

    Looks like it could be a Cairo, if there's any chance it came from the US.
  2. Here's a couple more. An interesting Tiger Eye and a Blue Devil.
  3. The only ones I can think of that I haven't seen a RWB from in a machine made is Davis and Alox. And they may have, I just don't recall seeing any. Another:
  4. There's a RWB Heaton on the right side here, stuck in some concrete removed from the Heaton Agate factory.
  5. The craziest bullseye I've ever seen. The patch looks like an opal or some gemstone.
  6. I agree also. Those people wanted their knowledge shared and you are doing it. Exceptionally well. I do have a good bit of Bogard paperwork. Things like cancelled business checks and stubs written to all the places they got sand, fuel, cullet, and that sort of thing from. Payroll checks and stubs, invoices to buyers, invoices from suppliers, bills of lading, and other stuff. If there is any interest in it I'm always glad to share photos. Some of it is interesting, purchases of marbles from Vitro and MK and sales to champion and other places. It's also interesting to see who bought industrial marbles... places like Atari, pharmaceutical companies, spray paint companies, etc...
  7. Pelt, Master, Vitro, Vitro IMO
  8. You guys will never forget that. What fun it had to have been. I will never forget the Heaton digs. Wish I could have dug with you too Bill. We would have gotten along well . Great experiences with great people, who could ask for more? Well, you could ask for marbles I guess. I'm fortunate to have some of the loot from that Alley dig (many thanks Ron!). Maybe somewhere someday another dig will happen. Until then, I will be jonesing for it.
  9. Pel teer Jay bow Vit row Kay row And some say the individual letter for C. A. C. and a few of us just say it as a word like Kak.
  10. Just do your thing, everything has some new meaning these days but this is about marbles. Marble on!
  11. Hello and welcome Gina! I cringed to hear what you've got invested in these marbles. I see mostly common stuff and some newer marbles, i don't think I see one Christensen in the bunch. I felt the need to comment and suggest that you step back and learn before you put out any money. Ebay is full of misidentified marbles and vultures looking to take your money. Just as you wouldn't jump in and start buying all sorts of stocks without learning what you are doing first, you want to learn what you are investing in and what is a good deal and what isn't. If those marbles in the group shots are what you have in to show for $1000, someone has taken advantage. I don't want to sound negative or discourage you, so I won't say how bad, but definitely don't keep buying from them. My mother got too enthusiastic about marbles years ago and overpaid for lots of them too, spending thousands upon thousands. She got some good ones in the process but lost quite a sum of money and without my knowledge. She took it upon herself to amass quite a collection without running them by me first. I don't want to see that happen to anyone else. Chuck

    Heaton?

    I agree with vacor for the Yellow one. Probably not Heaton on the other two either but more pics could change that.
  13. I was at a show and a guy had a super rare huge sulphide with a bat with widespread wings (think the batman symbol) and while at the show, it fractured. No pics, but that one nice German cleaved down the middle reminded me of it.
  14. I have several (I think 9) around 7/8" to an inch or so as well. They are nice marbles and even nicer when they are big
