Hello Ric, glad you're back !!

WoW !! haven't slept in like this in months, Oh, mornin' !!

Nice !!

I'm starting to think in reverse, see you all tomorrow at marblethirty, bright & early !!

A bit of yellow but I guess were not throwing hand grenades

I think I spotted 3 suspects (victims?) last night tweeking out by the dumpster ??

Mediocre madness, at least I found something, this has to be the driest marble area in the U.S I go up to and a bit over 50 miles in every direction and this is te best I can drum up, Ah !! well I did score a few onesie's and some Akro ware in the last month so not a complete loss. I guess some of these will be good for my toe exercises the doc ordered. Yeah !! That's it, I was having trouble making up my mind which ones to use anyway !! Problem solved, there are a couple really nice pelts an Alley or two and a few masters in thus bunch so I'm not so bummed. At this rate I'll have muscles on my toes like Popeye has on his forearms.

(MCR) Multi Color Rainbo "to me" sorry I didn't specify in the first place Bruce, "My Bad"

Red, White & Baby Blue ??

Got em !!

I have one kinda looks like it's tie died that I kept, really thick, like well over 1/2" in places , I'll post soon as I get the pix from my camcorder

They all appear foreign to me ??

We're all rich !! Wahoo !!

Looks like it was waiting for you ?? Amen !!

I'd call it a Pelt Rainbo but there are those who will argue the point !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection Jarrod" I'll just get you going a bit on some familiar ones !! The first picture is almost all from a manufacture called Vitro, a bunch of which are called all reds Just a general rundown you may have some real sleepers in there with 27,000 marbles Much easier for you as well as the person making the I.D. if you only post 3 or so marbles at a time, that way you can get a more accurate I.D. and be able to bunch you marbles accordingly as to type. 27,000 is a lot of marbles, you must have half a truckload ?? A good portion of these are from the "50's and 60's" Assorted cat eye marbles A few transitional marbles, a clay and one blue Bennington i.e. (glazed clay)

You're welcome Rick, I'll start diggin here in a bit.

I guess you could call it a "Ruby Dragon" "Dragon Bee" I don't know but it is a bifurcated marble, I have some rainbos that are bifurcated as well but no pics & really don't feel like digging around with a flashlight. Maybe some pix later tomorrow if I can find them ??

Fruit cocktail is a Peltier name, it would have been a perfect name for this one though !!

Same one I was taking seconds at, what a killer, definitely not from any stateside manufacture, I reflect you sentiments Steph "Wicked Cool"

Yeah Brother

My best & most trusted Friend "Don" passed away in Nov. of 2016. Best bow hunter I ever met. The thing he enjoyed most was being out in GOD'S creation, then came the Bear & the Elk. Nothing wasted, not a trophy hunter, as I remember in earlier years to feed his family. I have a lasting memento of him that brings back a flood of lifelong memories, I mean I went to grade school with the man. One day He was insulating underneath his house and he knew I collected marbles, I was over late that day to ask him how it was going, "Ok" he replied & said he had a surprise for me. He pulled a marble out of his pocket, the simplest of things a 9/16ths white opaque game marble. He put it in my hand and asked if it was worth anything. "Yes" I said, some !! I still have it, probably the lowest monetary value of almost any marble I have but to me it's priceless. I found a little bear trinket holder so packed a lifetime of memories into it, when I look at it all I see is my good friend and Brothers face. I keep many thigs like this all in one place, kinda like a garden, "food for my soul" marbles have brought me so many good friends & good times !!, Was it a good decision ?? The day I decided to collect them ?? Or maybe it was something else I was being led to or looking for ??
