See something neat as you went through your day? Share it! We were in Winona, Minnesota today and stopped by their Merchants Bank branch there. Turns out the building is one of the oldest there and has been declared a historical site. Simply massive inside. Some of it's contents are still around from way back when, including these fantastic safes....pretty awesome!

Little 0.48 6 vein cat I just found in a little jar I picked up today.

Little mini score in Winona today 😊

Like those, Ric! I can imagine how they caught the eye on store shelves 👍

Nope, never thought about it actually....have to check that out 😊

Wow, what fun! We love auctions ourselves. Looking forward to your finds! 👍

👍

With the 6 I picked up, the surface where the color is does have some "pitting" too them, but very minimal. The orange one does have a nice little "blowout" on the surface in the color though, but don't think it's from play impact?

Thought I would add a close up of the base glass....

Thanks again, Ric and Chad...I know where I can get more of them, relatively inexpensive purchases too. Maybe I'll pick up the rest of them just to have them as the unknown factor is quite intriguing 😊

A Pelt Rainbo but it's bigger than any of the variations like this I have. First one this size that I have come across in the wild. Actually thinking it's not uncommon, but because I have never come across one yet thought I would gather some opinions. Thanks 😊

I know we have the pink, red, and black (maybe purple or others?) as tough to find colors and crossthroughs as tough to find. I was wondering if there were any HTF color combinations out there , if applicable, when it comes to say the multi vein, caged, or the Vitro Cat's eyes. Not sure if there is alot of information out there about this but opinions, links and pics would be great. Just something I thought about yesterday 😊

Oh boy...been a while since I had to deal with those anger issues with having taken on the persona of "Smart Hulk" 🤣

I was trying to compare them to other patch-type marbles from various makers but not a clear match as of yet. I'm thinking I'm with you on the foreign possibility...

Oh man, I actually thought Master at first...the interior was throwing me for a loop though! Thanks for the input Ric!

They are all between 0.94-0.97....with the same patch of color on each side.

One I found today, interesting colors I haven't found yet in the wild...

Something other than game marbles maybe? Just shy of peewee (0.52-0.56).

Seems somewhat common but interesting!

Definitely getting another (or more) next visit!

Happy New Year 😊

I haven't looked at everything yet, maybe I have some smaller pieces with the same misspelling...can't recall if I ever noticed this before. Same weird thing as the "backwards" crow!

Nice little Mosser Glass Labrador I picked up yesterday...have a lead on a few more color variations of this one plus some little Imperial lions that I just might go after 👍

Just checked a few other pieces and it's the same two backwards lettering on them also. I only notice it on the bigger pieces, but not all.
