Agree w/ Alley

When I was a kid these big pileated woodpeckers were all over. Lots of old growth and large second growth around. Now we have become our own worst enemy, cutting down everything to be replanted w/ fast growing genetically modified Douglas fir that gets harvested every 35-40 years leaving no room for this keystone species. I've only seen 2 or 3 in the last 10 or so years and they were all up around MT. St. Helens in the old growth forest. And speaking of "screech" there used to be all kinds of small owls, we called them screech owl as kids, even had a few as pets, now none @ least I haven't seen any. Wadda ya know "Screech owl" is actually what they're called, sorry I didn't have my own pix, gotta dig em out of my Family albums "somewhere??"

Almost a Blue, IMO, a very nice marble Brother

A few from a good Marble Brother overseas for this "Sundays Best"

Maybe Chinese I don't recognize it as Vacor "but"

Some real winners & some losers, better know what yer lookin @ before ya bid, the bids are high on a couple nice HTF pelts & coming up on some lookalike's , buyer beware for sure. A good marble will always sell itself, unfortunately for the unwary, so will a bad one.

Nice mibs Alan !!

Caged Divided Ribbon Core IMO, sorry I don't have any caged Latts.

I found this to be a pretty good discussion on some bizarre colored PPP's. I've had quite a few PPP's w/ oxhair in them, often bordering between the patch & the base glass. AAM LINK : https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46816&p=370241&hilit=PPP#p370241

Agree w/ Master, nice one

Nice scotty dog William, VHTF without chipped ears.

Always my favorites, largest I've ever had was a touch over 1.25 but I know they come bigger, so does the $$$

Agree w/ Ric on all except the last one, Heaton IMO

He left the building & I found him, right where Fire said he would be !!
