I believe your referring to the mib with the baby blue base...I'll have to get better pics of some more of this and others. Interesting offer, it would be fun too deal! I left the bulk at my brother in law's (except for the Sparkler) I'll pick them up probably tommorow and sort a little better. I did get scolded for desecration of the pool table. At least the cover was on! 🤣

Thanks, Tommy...the sweet score in this bunch was the Akro Sparkler...

Athletes tend to develop that condition ⚽️🏈⚾️🏀

2 different marbles, I like em' !

3 more again from today. I'll post some more soon. Thanks 😊

Here's a few from today...

There's a little bit of everything, alot of nice mibs. I'll try to get around to posting some pics in the coming days. I went through them all with a quick pick and separated a group I think are good. Found a handful of nice ones that were beat up of course also. My total spend today was around $100 but I know I'm ahead!

What do you think? It's got some scars but still liking my first one scored out there 😊

Looked it over really well, not a chip, crack. Don't even see any flea bites with my phone light. Happy indeed. Don't know how it survived without damage in the wild!

Nice. Pulled it from a $12 jar.

Thanks 😊

One of my best bulk scores since I started collecting I believe. Super pumped too start sorting which starts now 😊

Yep, by hand vs. a Hobart....restaurant dishwashers have had it made for some time

When I first saw the color pattern I thought Pelt until I saw the seam so wasn't sure...the middle one not even a guess from me and the third I was leaning Akro, maybe. Thanks Steph 😊

These are a few of the marbles in today's score...what do you think?

Mini-score at the end of the weekend...thanks Decorah Iowa 😊

Another note, in the 50's, after restrictions eased, glassmakers began producing this variety of glass again, and also, it's not the "radioactivity" that makes the glass "glow", it's the chemical makeup that does. It's interesting literature indeed 😊

Another glass maker, Alladin, has caught my eye because of a small lamp made of alacite I saw yesterday. It's a really nice translucent piece with the original finial and dates from the late 30's and early 40's. I researched it a bit and discovered that uranium oxide was used in the manufacturing of this type of glass until the 40's when the U.S. government banned its use. Yes, the same stuff used in nuclear plants. It was interesting reading material for sure. This dealer only wants $14 for it. I just might pick it up. It would be interesting to see if I get the same reaction from it like you would from vintage vaseline glass under lighting!

That is awesome history right there, Ron...a big thanks for the input on the subject 👍
