I'm a little bit on the fence about this one...Vitro I think...

Also found a toothpick holder and a vase....

Scored some more cool Akroware today 😊 A couple of really nice planters. Really neat that one is more opaque then the other.

Gifted this awesome Jasmine agate from my special someone on my birthday 😊

Not a huge score but a special score for me from my lady...think she did ok (my first marble bag 😊)

If you want to check out some cool videos, including the Heaton marble dig, check out Stephen Bahr's marble videos on YouTube. He's got some nice, informative videos about different types of marbles that you will enjoy and learn from 😊

Not special enough? On the contrary there, Steph, love it! I don't think I have seen a white liquor bottle like yours before. It's usually just plain milk glass. Can you snap a couple more pics of those color threads? Would love to see them differently!

My collection, mostly Imperial pieces from the early 50's.

Beautiful piece of Westmoreland slag glass, Eagle candy dish (1977), my lovely fiance got me for my birthday 😊

Slag glass has it's place in the collectable world, having been produced by companies such as Akro, Imperial, Westmoreland and others. Since we have threads dedicated to Akro and Akroware, I thought I would start one dedicated to the manufacturers other than Akro. Have any eye catching pieces that you would like to share? Let's see them!

Thanks Al!

Minus the white of course

Very similar to these Pelts 😊

Thanks....it was a day for sure!

I second that, Ron...I know good people when I encounter them. Steph is definitely one of them!

My dog, Uno, waiting to play by the back gate. 😊

She is great. I admire her tremendously for her time here and her devotion towards the hobby. The fact that she is a cat lover helps too 😊 I had 3 for 18 years now have 2 more, 1 is 9 and her "son" 3 years old, and a dog. I can tell, Steph, by your text, pic, and personality you ARE a wonderful person. So happy to have your acquaintance since I started here 😊❤

By the way, what's the round a bout value of this marble if it was in excellent condition...I told that lady I would let her know from more experienced opinions...thanks.

Thanks for the ID...Dolly, that little old lady, wanted me to get back with her too tell her the info...👍

She had what I think was a Bennington which was so many different colors but I passed. Comparable too what the "Confetti" marbles look like. Guess I haven't seen one like that so hopefully didn't pass up a decent mib. I was just going on what I know as far as clay's being mass produced.

Found this one at a garage sale, gave an elderly lady a couple bucks for it. Little beat up but figured it's hot out, she's 92 and sitting out here. Wanted to see her smile anyway 😊😊

That's why I am happy just getting lucky with the random antique store score. Sure, there are good sellers out there, but I don't waste my time with Ebay or anything else. I'd rather get lucky on the long shot finding the good or great marbles than deal with potential headaches. The thrill of the chase, I have enjoyed that more then anything else. If I never find the super score in the wild, I'm ok with that. I had fun while I did it 😊

Looked into it a little more, check out the USS Sherman. Guns I think matching the specs on that casing were mounted on its deck. Nice info there.

The last cool shell casings I have were from an AH-64 Apache helicopter that were fired during Operation Desert Storm. They might still be packed away around here somewhere (I hope). Yours is pretty cool. If it's the correct light gun, 70ibs and 13 nautical miles range?

5"/54 caliber mark 45 gun, naval?
