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 !!!

Yes a great conversation piece, it looks as if there's no interest in it ? Maybe there aren't as many inquisitive people as once I thought? They all want the Pelt Holy Grail I guess ?? If I had any $ left from Christmas I might throw a little at it, but from here I'm looking up from the bottom of a relatively deep Holiday hole.

Please try a daylight bulb to eliminate the yellow dingy look and brighten up your pics. It will improve the capability to I.D. the marbles significantly. They're about 4 or $5 each at Walmart or whoever carries bulbs, throws out a blue white instead of a yellow light more like sunlight, great for taking pics of marbles or glass. 10 to 15 actual watts on a 40 to 75 watt bulb equivalent. try the 40 w equivalent first, stay away from the marble at least 12 inches, a little experimentation and you'll be taking pictures like a champ. Just a helpful hint from someone whos been there "Good luck " And A belated " WELCOME " Chad

Please try ad put only one mib in the frame at a time Boris !! as close as you can get without blurring the surface of the marble. This will make the I.D. 10 times faster and more accurate (no guessing ) for who ever is I.D.ing your mibs. Thank you Chad

A great one offer, if there wasn't blue looking av. in the ribbons with the classic pelt dimply surface, I would definitely go with MK, in which case I would be wrong but it would never be detected, personally I think it to be a great teaching tool Chuck !! post it in b & W, then with no av. and then in color with the av. I'll bet the answers would vary more than the colors on the mib do.

"WoW" some kinda almost half double ingot looking thing Roby, the seam is really different, yes a nice larger size also !!
