    Much better, little more room to add for now 😝

    Made the transition between curios, probably lower the stone and agate collection down a level and get brighter bulbs (the bulbs in there are many years old, never used much). Still have a little space to play around with. She still claims a spot for her Occupied Japan pieces though 👍

    Couple of bonuses too go with my score today...3 more additions too the my rock farm and a pair of Lido Nabisco baseball figures circa 1950's.

    Scored in the wild, happy with anything found out there 😊

    Scored at this place, once again Imperial but very happy with it! Hopefully mixing Imperial with Akroware on the same thread doesn't mislead anyone! (Just in case, anyone reading this thread check out the maker marks that Chad has included for reference 😊)

    I know right? I usually have a good eye when it comes to trademarks on things I collect. Anchor Hocking Fireking is a good example of constant change over the years. Some shorter runs than others. Granted on some of the Akroware the stamp definition is tough to see so I can understand how it wasn't caught initially.
  7. William
    That would be great if you found some Akroware over there. I think it would be interesting to see some of the storefronts that you visit when treasure hunting!

    That's a very interesting point...different time frame/production runs? Hmm...

    Funday Friday's mixed cherrypick score...came across a jar of mostly cats eyes with these. Happy with Friday since I struck out Saturday 😊

    Couple of older clear based that had some good battles...

    Opinions? Thanks. I took a few pics of some individual marbles that stood apart from the rest of the group, 17 of them total. Below are 8 of them. Interesting I thought.

    Another interest I was collecting was ocean and fishing related items, especially when I got the green light too convert our smaller bathroom. Spent probably a year picking all this stuff and it was fun putting it up!

    Yesterday's scores, mostly hers...2 more of those lacquered figures (2 tallest ones), large amethyst horse, hand carved bear chief statue, Vintage cigarette box, and a slew of vintage lures, a couple of Occupied Japan fishing kits still in the original packaging, I staked a claim to the hand carved samurai but he won't be resided in my displays. It was her day too shine since I owned Funday Friday with my scores 😊

    Since we are on the fishing subject, part of my significant others score yesterday was this. Never opened from the original packaging, she got a pair of them. Incredibly tiny hook! Anything Occupied Japan is cool too find since the manufacturing period was only a handful of years, especially the stuff you don't see very often. Goes right into her Vintage lure collection (I'll share pics of her tackle boxes sometime 😊)

    All my Akroware and Slag glass thus far, mixed in with the Imperial pieces and animal agate and onyx pieces. Once I move them into the cherrywood curio I will have them separated. Haven't bought a thing online and probably won't for some time. Enjoy the thrill of the hunt way too much! Not a bad start for a couple of months of picking 😊
  16. William
    Very nice grab...I'm following a lead tomorrow on some more pieces...wow that's quite the deal, fantastic one-two punch there Chad!
  17. William
    We hit Cresco (Tin Ceiling Antiques), Calmar (Whistlestop Antiques)and Decorah (The Depot) in Iowa today, a 4 hour jaunt where she scored and I struck out as far as adding to the glass masses but did grab a couple things...Hoping too get some hits tommorow then maybe some fishing for crappie, bluegill and northern 😊 See about posting some pics tomorrow 👍
  18. William
    That's a nice one 👍
  19. William
    Wow, I got dizzy after the first few swipes 🥴
  20. William
    Where I scored yesterday, she scored today with 2 vintage, intact fishing kits made in occupied Japan, 2 of those lacquered figures (paper people she calls them 😊), 3 bone china miniature dogs and a sizable amethyst horse (which I helped her with $$). Least I could do for the sake of showcase space 😁
  21. William
    Yep, she has a whole room upstairs called her "fun room" for all her collectibles 😊
  22. William
    I do believe that's it. Got a bunch in the basement.
  23. William
    Patricia (my other half 😊), told me today she is going to move her teacup sets which will free up a 6 shelf corner curio with built in lights. That will help for a little while.
  24. William
    I'm thinking you got your money's worth Tommy 😊👍

    They were tough all right!
