x3, master brushed patch, another couple views of the red slag might also prove to be something other than CAC. For your photo back ground use a more "neutral" color, maybe start out w/ a grey color, something w/o a sheen to add reflection to your photos and enhance showing the actual color scheme and base color of the mib. Black is Ok, I often use it my self, only on marbles it's beneficial to use a dark background to better view the glass .Cloth materials work good for me, nothing to refract the light or add another reflection to an already hard to photograph medium. With a little ( maybe a lot as in my case ) of experimentation your pix will get better and better as you go.

I'm glad to finally see someone w/ old hand mades, they're a big part of what I seriously started collecting in the late 80's early 90's and I still love. I have few more hand made but no Jabo w/ lutz, for the time they were made they where and still are some extremely beautiful mibs, no doubt a great selling point 100-150 yrs ago. Thanks for sharing the pics Ric, the clown looking onion ( maybe I believe I see some separation in the color, so maybe a coat ) either way it's outstanding.

A triple dip of type 1's, 2 powder blue and one royal.

I'm workin on gettin some Jabo w/ lutz in em, hopefully soon, Killer mibs Dink !! No shortage of the lutz on that one !!

Vitro cat eyes, some caged. maybe some mixed manufacture, but all cats.

Nice onion Bruce

Pelt Golden rebel w/ av. in the yellow, red, and black. Oop's!! sorry for the repeat, my mind isn't what it used to be.

A baby powder blue type 1

type 1 dark blue banded

Murano glass from Italy, with some nice chunky lutz. A garage sale find. Wish I had a marble that looked like the first pic maybe w/ more colors, a kind of E.O.D. mib. I know !!! only marbles but I had to show the unreal amount of lutz in this.

Onionskin Lutz Another onion another skin in the sunlight

Type 1, 1.18"

Some Jabo ??

My alleys are either plastered w/ av. or dusted, the first two look like someone just walked by and spilled a little in the air, the second two look like someone fell on them with a bucket of av. I prefer happy medium, but am happy just to have some.

Sweet Alley Ric. A very underrated mib in my opinion !!

Good group of Vitro Ric

Slim has arrived here, I'm going to have to look for some now, I have but need to get the energy to take the pics.

Yes !! thank you Jess, No not very common I've only seen 2 or 3 like it.

Must have taken a while for that one !!

Red and black ace cork, not the best of shape but not that common either, all asmades.

A popeye w/ nice even wispy white stranding.

My favorite uv patch, 7/8th's and shiny clean. Two different lights, 1st is a 20w daylight bulb and 2nd is a fluorescent.

Oop's I'm 30 mins. late, this one has what looks like a scratch in the middle of the first picture but it's actually a trail of micro air bubbles that follow the glass flow all the way to the other end of the cork right down the center.

My favorites mibber !!!
