My husband calls this on "The Eye" because he can see right through it. 

That one on the right in front seems to be a different brighter red than the others, in person that is. : ) I thought the others might be ox blood. I have blue on blue, green on green, as well as different colors on white, like brown, orange, blue, green. I think I can see some subtle differences in the swirls to. Some are more defined with other color shades, some are really swirled.  I'm trying to study on the differences. Btw the collection comes from Pittsfield, MAINE. 

Haha. Hubs took those. On his phone! 

What kind of swirls you think?

What kind of swirls you suppose?

Stephen, could these be Akro assorted glassies???

This one is interesting. Quite battle worn, but super cool. Even looks prettier in the blurry sub par pictures. It seems real old to me. Steph, it was the one that intrigued you from my first submision. Looks like there is ox blood in it and maybe adventurine..(is that the green?)

Thanks. I'm the blurry queen. Trying to fix that. Just so damn curious I can't wait to learn how to be better thanks for your patience.

Nice! : )

I call these my earths : )

The bottom one has clear in it too, and the yellow almost looks like a banana.

Still blurry. : ( what pattern are these? Peltier I'm guessing?

blurry, but totally sums up the experience. Can you see it? For me this heart represents the intense spiritual connection I'm getting from these trinkets! : ) 

I don't know. I have to admit this isn't the easiest site to navigate with my device. (Kindle fire) I did turn off the map feature, but it seems that eyeballs are looking at the pictures. For me, the other gallery pictures are commetable, as are mine. (New word there, Lol). Still, this group is great!

Hmmm. I'll see. 

This group is fantastic! Thanks for the warm welcome. Steph, I think if you click on the picture and scroll down, there is a place to post comments. I'm curious as to what we may have. Any groups you'd like to see, let me know, and when I get a decent camera running, I would love to share and be educated.  I have many solids. A bunch of translucent, including Amber looking stuff, many peewees. Also some marble like looking solids. Bright shooters too. I've done nothing today but marble research and admiration. Haha. My husband will be impressed when he gets home from work! 

Yes, the far left one has yellow. They all seem the same and for some reason make me smile. "Blue egg yolk"   : ) as for the other...it seems patchy, but almost like a Helmut, but the green forms an "s" and the Orange forms an "s" and there's a whit band on the other side. Christmas tree? I do have a decent camera with macro, but too lazy to hook it up. I will spare you all and not post more until I do! Haha : )

I need a different camera. Thanks for the input! 

I'm trying to eradicate the blur.....These spidermans all seem different, although it may be hard to tell from my amateur photography.

Thanks for the quick reply. : ) I'll try and do better. I'm just overwhelmed and amazed. They are all so beautiful.

Some  ox bloods? A limeade and a lemonade?

These, I think, are some of the older ones.

Hi everyone,

My husband and I just acquired his grandfather's (born around 1890) collection that he remembers as a child in their summer camp.His mom (born 1918) would point out the ones she thought were valuable and loved them as well.I swear it has been a spiritual experience sorting them all out, as I never met his mother. We have no idea what we have, but there are certainly some very old ones there. (Camp was sold 60/ 70s and camp contents stored away until recently) I'd post pictures but I can't figure out to make my photos smaller. I'm anxious to learn more and this site has been helpful. Thanks!
