Can't think of anything better to do than to get the creative juices flowing and keep busy during this stinking virus. "Great work Chuck" an excellent wall hanger for sure Wish I still had my shop. Spent 4 - 5 hours last night reorganizing my curios and putting a couple hundred mibs in foam, getting ready to build some display flats. Space is, how shall I put it " at a premium " already filled my wall mount, gonna wok on a kind of drawer display, lotsa time to think and tinker. Doin is much better than mildewin.

A pic of the Jorkscrew patterned Jabo's. Sorry Bruce, not a very good pic but the best I could muster and the most common one everybody uses for I.D ing them, more views would be great, supposedly the colors never continued to the other pole, sometimes turning back on themselves or just ending halfway, I'm not that familiar with them just going on what I've seen posted and the relatively few pictures available. I'm not aware if there where any uv. or not, I would say more than likely yes, just judging by the great mass of marbles Jabo has produced.

No! thank you Brad, we're all learning and depend on each other, this hobby has been with me over half my life, that and the people have brought me insurmountable joy, I treasure the friends I've made in this hobby, honest, giving, and more than willing to share everything they know, " man " what a great place to be !!

Time for a " NEW " thread, only a couple more days of 2020 left. Whatever shall we do ?? Glad to wave goodbye to this year sayonara, adios, asta la bye bye. If I stay in this house any longer I'll look like this AND MY BRAIN WILL LOOK LIKE THIS !!

Agreed all newer Vacor and Cat's, they made and still make these by the millions. I believe Vacor is the largest marble manufacturer in the world or they were, either way they made a lot of marbles, has to be in the tens of millions by now. Some of the first Vacor and Mega ore coming up but only in the original packaging or some limited hand made runs like the atmospheres, also VHTF, between around an inch and 3 to a pack. Like Ron was saying rare means rare, I've gotten lucky a few times in past years past but very few, mostly from other collectors. Don't want to discourage you, I had a rare pelt walk right through my front door last year and at a very reasonable price, well worth the wait. " GOOD LUCK to YOU " in your marble ventures. Here's the I.D. link link to Vacor % mega. You will find every mib that Steph I.D. for you plus an innumerable amount of others it just came back on line the sheer selection of mibs will blow you away.

Took me a second Bruce " good one "

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS COME AND GONE< WITH ONLY THE SWEET MEMORIES OF YESTERYEAR TO COMFORT US !!!

Talk about hiding in plain sight, I mean c'mon, this is some quality entertainment, real cutting edge stuff. They don't know what they're missing !! They must have given the cat "bunk" dust and sprinkled the real stuff over the header to this thread "invisible". I can still see him though !!

At least poor Rudolph is finally happy !! ☺️

I was hoping everyone would catch on, but in any case Have a "VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Merry Christmas Everyone, GOD Bless !!

I love the format, a much improved platform, thanks for all the hard work Craig, and for preserving and adding to Alans legacy for the marble community, Thank you again, nice job man !!

Remind me what planet I'm on Steph !! Not with it today !!

No !! Steph is the moderator here, I guess I should have specified who she is. I understand the confusion I caused, sorry bout that, I apologise, yes Stephen does have the YouTube I.D. thing goin.

Hello Deanna, nice pelt, great pic, here's a few of my favorite pelts, I like em all so I guess I'll just post a few. Just got the bigger superman about a month back, I like them and it comes so close to being the smaller ones doppelganger, !! The blue lagoon walked through my door last summer so I snagged it at a more than reasonable price. I guess my Avatar I would have to say is my favorite Pelt. Steph's probably gonna move this to "General Marble Glass Chat" so no big surprise when it gets moved.

Welcome Deanna, I like all mibs, handmades and machine, I'm way over on the West Coast, only 50 mi. from the Pacific. Chad G.

Good for a clam Bruce, I don't have even one without some damage, I think every time I look at them they have more damage, like the glass is falling apart or something ?? Probably the softest glass I've ever encountered, any clam is a good clam Like them old aggies to !! Yes all of mine but one or two have some kind of damage also.

Nice short tabs Bill The mib aint nothin to clown at either !! Christmas time, that popcorns gotta be the good stuff !! I only got one short tab and one long after I was divorced in 09 kinda wiped me out, lotsa Akro ware with oxblood in it though. I miss them smokers sets I had. Ah well only a piece of glass. I'm gettin there " slowly " 🐢

Yes Jess, not many around anymore I know, but there are some. Did a big thread on blueberry and other ade's on the other forum, just about any color they made had a patch to go with, because of the small number of the white ones I take it they weren't a big hit with the kids.

Meanwhile back at the North Pole !!!

Bill !! "The Cullet King" Seriously, nice mibs Bill, I can't wait for your next pix

Either that or everyone's as broke as me from Christmas !!

I agree Every day should be "Akro Friday" some old ade patches to help you through until Friday comes.

Like the tabbed ashtrays Bill, did you get the two in the 7th pic ground down from "cullet" "remelt's" or what, just curious !! By the way as always thanks for the pix. The cullet matching is great !!

GOOD ELF, BAD ELF....... Hmmmm !!! " Busted" Or, Just An Inquisitive Window Washer?? Wwwhat !! you can see me !! I was just enjoying the snow !! Honest !! There is no snow ?? Well uh !! Oh !! Inside the window, well it was open !! Ohh boy here we go !! I guess I didn't use enough of that " Invisible Dust" !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL, GOD Bless, be happy and stay safe !!!
