Knowledge. Friendship. Fun experience. Respect. Her loss in all of the above. If it wouldn't have been you, Gina, it would have been someone else. Heck, she probably would have called me a dumb*** for using the wrong worms to fish with! 🎣 🤣

We had a road just outside town (Highway 44) buckle UP in a spot just a couple weeks ago. It was like hitting a speed bump at 60mph! Amazingly, I don't think anyone's cars were damaged (that I heard of 😕)

Oh yeah! Nobody has been there since my brother in law and I that last day. Pretty overgrown on the banks, had to take time to clear it out. If the flow was better than it is the surface wouldn't been so bad either. That time of year for that stuff. The big ones evaded me but were hitting the surface hard out in the middle. Tried various lures but they wouldn't take them.

Fishing this morning...a little enclosed waterway fed by the Root River.

Well hello there! Didn't realize you were back 😊 good too hear from you and hope all is well!

Always treasure too be found indeed 😊

What a difference since June 25th! 4 inches of rain and plenty of humidity since then...pretty soon only one way into the back garden, squash and pumpkins are taking off!

Having a late lunch of burgers, potatoes and caesar's salad...

Happy 4th of July Everyone! 🇺🇸

Did score yesterday, haven't had a chance to dig into it yet though. Today! Got an old Skippy peanut butter jar out of the deal too 😋

Darn, I tried 😊 I wasn't sure with the glass itself, but saw some of your pieces appear to be crackle glass. I should spend a little time checking out the product sites when I get a chance. I dealt with some glassware back in the day but not enough only to be familiar with a handful of makers. Worth a shot 😊

Mojo, you are a riot, man. That was great 🤣

Awesome mib there cheese 👍👍👍

Nice! 👍

No markings...possibly Blenko?

Nice combo! 👍

Going to be another fun option for us collectors....numbers, letters, all kinds of punctuations. Maybe there's a wild mib out there with multiples on its face? We'll see 😊

Another 7

I'll kick it off....

Let this one go? Like this man said in the commercial (Geico I believe?), "No, no, no, not today!" 🤣

I was guessing either Master or maybe Akro

In one of your pictures, in the back, I think I see the head of a fish, the fish is multicolored? Just curious, because I remember seeing a blown glass fish at one of my haunts...

Interesting how glass can be made in a wood mold then spun too eliminate the mold lines. When I was antique dealing years ago, I came across a few pieces. I never collected Blenko but was interested enough at the time too look it up. It is nice quality and beautiful. It can be tough too identify with such a small percentage (if that's indeed correct) having been actually marked. The few pieces I had showed off tooling marks and pontils if I remember correctly. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open while treasure hunting, post some pics of any possibilities I come across! Great collection you have indeed!

Here's a couple that I have, got more somewhere....I'll toss in the letter "c" for cool!
