Have 2 now, 3 more color's coming soon, my favorite is the red w/ the uv a close second. The red one is on the way now, the red is the seller's pic, I will resubmit my own photo when it get's here.

Uh Oh, not the popcorn !!!

Thank's for droppin in bumblebee

Nice one's Bill, I gotta dig around here a while, just made the post because I know there's some really strange lookin patches out there,( and here somewhere )that first one's a real looper. " Thank's man "

I almost forgot, not obscure but still patches.

I only have one pic for now.

Never mind found the edit, I'm a little slow ya know !!

My favorite's, some repeat's, I'm slowly getting there, " kinda "

Super nice, what a deal. All of my blend's but a few are long gone and the few chance's I had to get some more I blew thinking I'd have a million more, not so, a wise decision swiping theses up, thank's for sharing Steph.

I only have about 50-100 mostly common, alot of bee's, wasp's etc. here are a few pic's of my favorite's. I've passed up some really nice blend's I should have went for. The last picture I posted is from a post I made in the lounge, it's a close up of the av in a green M K rainbow, the second pic is one end of a multi color like the 3rd pic. I will submit some pic's of the commie's later.

Man that board beautiful, and the complete set of marble's in the box, good show, outstanding. Very hard to find either let alone a full set of those mib's and an intact board. "Thank's much for sharing"

I just spun it on the nub " head of the nail " the marble's went directly to the end's ' Thank you Steph !! It was driving me .

Here's part of the 300 mib's I sold in the first month, I had someone else sell them for me because I didn't yet have a computer and my hobby was more of a private thing, a few curios and a bunch of drawer's full, at least 85 % of these mib's where found in the wild a good portion from 3 or 4 people i knew. I had a bunch of miller's with some very heavy aventurine which commanded a much higher price, a few of the zebras had so much av. you could literally see it 6 feet away. All of the one's I called ruby bee's had av., there's even one here that @ the time was called a chocolate bee # 142 (pink w/ no av. and brown ribbons ). Hand mades where more in demand then also but had gone down significantly. I've also put a portion of them up, Then as now I still love Joseph coats. These are some of my marble's I sold during a divorce in 2009. I have a long way to go but it's the love of the hobby that keep's me going. Drat I got the bifurcated one but not the golden dragon, there is a what used to be called a grey dragon,# CG 254. Just a moment excuse me a minute while I Ah yes that feel's better, boy how could you ever get tired of this ?? I'll just call mine a kind of anemic bee I guess ??

Kool !!!

I see a champion furnace marble, lower R hand corner and the two alley's. " yes 5:00 "

Thank's for clearing that mess up. Now to cram it all into my pea size brain for "uh " safe keeping !!

Thank's for the clear one man, I thought I was lost again.

I know what a golden dragon is, the stripe's similar to that of a flaming dragon on a yellow or golden base, I've also seen Alan's pic's and description with no apparent av. I've "heard" to be a ruby bee the marble must contain av. ?? .While I've never seen a golden dragon w/ av. I have had a few w/o in the past, just wondering if the difference between a red bee and a ruby bee have changed ??. No confusion Al, just trying to find out what the name of the mib is ?? Thank's much for your input. Here is a pic of a golden dragon sold last month on E bay, not the best example more of a flaming type, but still a golden dragon. Guess I'll just settle for somewhere in between, the ribbon on the right side of my mib is actually a little pinkish, the photo is color correct. Peltier made so many variation's of the NLR line " not to mention the bifurcated " and for that matter all there marble's, I'm happy just to have it. " Glad you brought up golden dragon's Al " The one I have pictured sold last month, not a high dollar mib but still getting harder and harder to find. This one is the exact color scheme of the two I've owned. A little more on the flaming side I know, the actual golden dragon has a more orange red hue to the ribbon's. I have some pictures of marble's from my collection I sold in 2009, there's a really nice bifurcated dragon bee and I believe a flaming golden dragon. I collected nothing but Peltier for about 10 year's, a few nice wigger's , a chocolate cow,.......... all but impossible to find nice one's now @ reasonable price's. What I received for them then was a mere pittance compared to now, I'll post a few and the actual auction price I received.

What??

Well Steph, I don't really know what to call it, it look's like what other's have called a red bee ?? Anyone have an opinion??

I believe this to be a red bee ?? Any opinion is welcome. Base glass is a little on the creamy side, ( i.e. not yellow ) no av. so not a ruby bee, (second and third pic. )Interested in your opinion.

A couple of almost identical alley's, the smaller of the two is a little under .50" ( Excuse the blurry pic. )

@ 23/32nd's " a nice big, wet what I'm pretty sure is ( NOT ) a master w/ aventurine, a thick line on either side w/ sprinkle's of black and green av. riding along side, I also have a 5/8th's just like it w/ no av. They both look uv. but no such luck. Also look's like an Akro royal?? ( overwhelming opinion is Akro, maybe I need to quit 2nd guessing myself ?? ) I just noticed the line of oxblood on the (L) side of #1 and the bottom 3rd of #2, looked w/ a 20 x loupe against bright light, yes oxblood.

Man what a score, very nice, well done, worth the early bird hour's.
