    A couple pix of the proud parents, I couldn't resist man, I love my kids. First the watchful Mother "Sissy" keeping an eye on baby Tubby A picture of the Proud Father (Buddy) w/ his son Tubby resting on his back, both taking a snooze after a couple hours of training Just before the break, more energy than you can shake a stick at. The King (Buddy)and his Queen (Sissy) boy I really miss Buddy, the smartest dog I ever had, even tried to talk like a human said "Ma Ma' clearly, sounded just like a child trying to communicate with his parents, maybe I should have called him "The Brain" and her "Pinky"
  10. Just about positive it's a "Bullet mold" (probably Czech) to much of a gap at the seam for a Christensen, plus the seam runs what appears to be all the way around the mib.
  11. I believe a 7up Rainbo is nearly an opaque (maybe semi translucent) green base w/ red & white ribbons ??
  12. Hey Dustin, Longtime no see !! I see a Pelt Rainbo

    I lost my Bud about 9 years ago, pulled my hair out !! and yes cried. Now I have his son, Tubby & the mother Sissy, not looking foreword to either of their demise but know it looms nearer & nearer. No way to prepare for it just bite the bullet same as always (Just like my Kids) Funny how you can love them sooo much, the pleasure & love I Have derived from both of them will far outweigh the pain(I hope) Don't know if I can bear another Buddy or not ??? TUBBERS
  14. Almost every one I've seen is small, some have come close to 5/8ths but never hit the mark, some a bit smaller, nearer to pee-wee size (.50") than 9/16ths
  15. I knew that was a coffin, I couldn't make it out, ah guess I'll have to learn to use the mag !!
  16. I see a Bullet mold as well, is it small, say around 9/16ths ??
  17. I'm "Brain dead" this mornin next mibber will have to give it a whirl
  18. I must be experiencing a "brain malfunction" a little slow on the draw this morning. I'll get it here shortly (I think ??)
  19. Is the first pic a coffin William ?? I can see what appears to be a Duck, guess maybe I'm a bit on the blind side ??
  20. "West Virginia Wednesday" A score from last year, all Alley (I think ??)
  21. I knew Steph beat me to the punch, just found an outstanding link about marble names and "old terminology" she posted LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/19377-marble-vocabulary-from-the-past-from-other-countries/ Another favorite "Bamboozler" Well it doesn't say "Bamboozler" but I think I get the idea !!
