    My Buddy

    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
  2. 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
  3. I knew that was a coffin, I couldn't make it out, ah guess I'll have to learn to use the mag !!
  4. I see a Bullet mold as well, is it small, say around 9/16ths ??

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 !!
  10. I got this in remembrance of my Baby Brother Tony that passed in 2014. He had tattoos of scorpions on both forearms, one black & one red. @ a little over 4" a big sphere, of course it's polymer otherwise the scorpion would incinerate (I think ??) The scorpion is UV. as Rick would say "It pops"
