Here’s the Veligglass Wirepulls and Opaques video just published to YouTube. Thank you to everyone who helped pitch in ! Please enjoy!

Hi William, there is too much European content to cover in one video so I have to break it down into a few uploads . The first one will cover Veligglass : Wirepulls and Opaques. There’s still some tweaking to do but I’m hoping to upload it by tomorrow night . I’ll post a link when I’m done . Thank you for watching ! 🔴

Thanks Chad , that one is about 7/8” , it has a fantastic pattern. I like the foggy olive colored one the best . Here’s a few more

A few good Wirepulls

Excellent info Ron ! 💥thank you for sharing

Nice Ravenswood Ric ! Another Ravenswood and two R/W/B Jacksons for 4th of July 🇺🇸

Yes William, I’ll try to stop in more often, I’ve been working on a European machine made marbles video on-and-off for nearly a year. Im trying to finish it up .

Thank you Chad for the links 🔵

Thanks all , I’m pretty sure Whispler is a nickname from collectors. These may or may not have been produced by the Irene company in London and found in CODEG boxes. Please correct me if I’ve said anything incorrect or you have further information.

Thank you William!

All of these are around 9/16” , I have a few at about 7/8” and the glass swirl action and bubbles are pretty much the same on them .

Very nice box and Heaton gallery there Ron and Chuck ! here’s a small Jackson gallery

Hello Mojo . I would be interested , message me if you are still up for it. Thank you , stephen b

Nice photo Chad G . Here’s pretty much the same type with a few nicks and bruises

Thanks guys , Da Roberto . Once you’ve heard the lingo a few times , you’ll pick it up easier I’m sure.

Thank you Chad ! I’m glad it was helpful.

Please check out the Ravenswood marbles packaging video with Ron Shepherd when you have time. Here is the link : thank you !

Thank you Chad ! I’m glad you recognized a few. Ron had some good stories in there for sure !

The second of a two-part Ravenswood identifications series with Ron Shepherd is up and running on YouTube. Please enjoy ! Thank you

Awesome stuff ! Thank you for sharing !

Thank you Al !

Thank you Chad ! I was thrilled to be able to film it.

Come check out the last of the Heaton Agate Marble digs. Cinematic and mildly educational ! Enjoy ! 🔴

“Volcano” is a vey fitting nickname for those ! In the spirit of naming the notable pieces , I would like to propose “Beautyberry” for the scarce opaque black with lavender swirl marble, which deserve a name . This keeps them under the ‘“Berry Family “ that Val started with the similar “Blackberry “. Beautyberry is a native shrub of the Eastern woodlands ,with bright purple/lavender berries that are similar to the swirl colors in this marble. I hope this nickname entry gets some consideration. 😁

Here it is, with a group of what I believe are the blackberries. The swirl glass is decidedly lavender. I’m not seeing any hint of translucenty in the base , but It would make sense that it’s from the same base glass.
