Just the one's taken in the sunlight, I will have to wait for those new bulb's until next payday, in other word's many trip's in and out the door with my marble's and camera while the sun lasts before winter set's in. Oh and thank you Steph, many deletion's and retake's involved in taking these photo's. End's up the hand rail on my deck is the best spot but only from 12:00 noon till 3:30 or 4:00, guess I better stay on top of it. I do need to learn how to download the picture's from my camera chip to my P.C. instead of relying on my buddy though.

I realize I've already posted some of these but I'm trying the gang mentality approach. I know these aren't on a marble display dome, it's a thimble display dome I added some rubber o ring's and saved myself a few buck's.

Abut 4 of them are on my most wanted list Chuck, some very nice pelt's, thank's for sharing. Regards, Chad G.

Thank's Bill, from the view of the other photo you posted I have a Christensen that could almost be it's doppelganger, But the new photo's shed a whole new light on it. Thank you for sharing your information. Live and learn, If I quit learning new thing's about marble's there wouldn't be much sense in pursuing the hobby, I would be at an impasse. At this rate I don't think I have "anything" to worry about.I have seen some, if I remember right old white gropper boxes of cerise agates at marble show's but never payed them much credence, they were usually far out of my price range. I'm going to take another look @ the similar one I have to see if it's a cerise or not, it measures 23/32 well shy of 1 inch, the more I look the more positive I am mine's a Christensen. I will post a picture as soon as I download my pic's again so you can tell me what you think,thank's again Bill.

Nothin I like better "except marble's"

A couple of nice large joseph coat's. Each about 1.25", the largest I have now, had to sell about 4 other larger one's for financial reason's.

Them's some delicious lookin akro cake's, what'll we use for syrup ???

Certainly not a peltier slag? this must be a test?? look's a bit like the old road and tunnel to me, Did I pass

Come on Sami I know you have some nice pelt's.

Biggest but not best, still one of my favorite's, lot's of mica, I bought this one at the I.A.M.C. show a few year's back.

Post pictures of your favorite German hand made's

One more. Av. josephs coat, comes in @ .788, around 3/4th's av. coverage.

Hello Sami, getting pretty bored being at home all the time, disability suck's, I sure miss going to the marble shows but health dictates otherwise, that's the rebel I told you I have and the .751 limeade ox cork is posted on my favorite mib's, it's as wet as wet gets, w/ one barely visible under 10 x dimple . I'm working on getting some good daylight bulb's so I can take some decent pictures. As you can see I still have the marble's I traded you, the ruby bee is in my other display, haven't taken pic's of quite a few mib's still. I even made the tiger I got from you my avatar, knew I would hear from you at some point. might as well post some pelt' while I'm here. Complete all clean mint set, the kayo is the wettest comic I've ever seen but the stamp is rather weak, no superfluous graphite splatter or av. bubble pop's.

Hello Sami, that's the marble I called you about last year for a quote, I think I did OK, 1 small as made dimple that's it, the rest is clean, no pitting. Make a post while I'm here. Yellow onionskin lutz, as made's only.

"What a collection", I know you do it because you love the hobby, sound's like for you has become a way of life, congratulation's you are a lucky man to be doing what you love, not to mention bringing a smile to my face and educating me at the same time. Guess I'll limp in with a few more things, made some of my display's using some akro dishes for stand's and backdrop. Have allot more akro stuff just haven't taken pic's yet, but nothing like what you have acquired. No pressman or alley goodies, wait I have two of those small glass electric fence conjoiner's somewhere, one clear and one amethyst, when I find them I will post the pic's. Not all Akro toothpick's, I slid in a few end of day's imperial because of the extra busy design in the slag.

Here are the pancakes to go with the egg's, these marble's are flat instead of egg shaped. Sorry about the photo clarity !!

This game reminded me of trying to roll baseball's into the hole to score point's for a prize at the fair when I was a kid.

I found the bag full of the original marbles 5 year's after I bought the board, it came with the box but sometime during a move the box took a walk.

Those ashtray's are killer, bet when you seen the second one you about had a heart attack.

"Very nice metallic's " I had some real nice metallic rainbows, at the time thought they where common and trade them off, boy what was I thinkin ??

" Very nice mib's Stephen" and the pictures, I'm getting some new daylight bulbs this month ( maybe ) and will be happy if mine turn out half as good as your's. I've made a bunch of post's and plastered my substandard photos in quite a few places, enjoy I guess. Here are a few.

"Very nice" Stephen love the pic's, I'm getting some new bulbs this month which I hope will get me as good as your's

Some marble related stuff I started out with. Some old PEP pin's out of Kellogg's cereal boxes, Please show some of your's.

A monochrome alley flame the only one I've ever seen.

One of my newest so of course a favorite for a while, a blue surfer or blue lagoon whatever your preference. w/ more than a moderate amount of av. ( Sorry about all the dust on the marble, it's not damage,the only damage is a melted dimple shown in the 2nd pic on the left side.
