I reccomend that you join our Marbleaholics chat group. It's a great place to vent for those that suffer from the agony that these little glass orbs inflict upon us. My main problem when I first experienced the suffering was turning green and wrecking places. Oh, you'll see when you "join". You will find this helpful thread here in General Marble and Glass Chat. 😁

Merry Christmas, also from Minnesota 🎄

Oh wow...going too be fun following this one..thanks for the post bro!

Nice grab. You are on a tear the first few weeks in the hobby, Melissa! 👍👍👍

×3😊

Decided to go Brown in honor of it NOT being a brown Christmas for a change! Happy Slags and Swirls Saturday! And Merry Christmas 🎄

I think Ric has got it...the second I'll go with Master also as I have a couple of those, yours has a bit more yellow than mine...

All 2 brown appear to be Akro Slags IMO..I think your bluish green could be something else...

Yep, I forgot about those similar Imperials...

Looks like a Peltier, but there are a few Vitro in there...and maybe Master...

3rd set Vitro with the exception, maybe, of the last marble. You'll get more opinions! Nice groups 👍

2nd set, the first one might be Akro, but the last 3 Vitro IMO...

The first set, top 3 are definitely Vitro, the middle 2 are referred to as "Helmets"...not positive on the fourth marble. Like those helmets 👍

I recognize it...having made a bazillion trips on that highway over the years 👍

Stay safe out there Chad...don't need nor want you or the pup bouncing off the sidewalk! We still have the wind here, in fact it increased through the night, woke me up a couple times with that wicked howling! I can still hear all my wind chimes out back banging around all the way in the living room! It's definitely a white out situation out in the open areas today I bet!

Nice, love em'! Some of my favorite marbles have "seedy" glass and your tables are right at the top with them...something you don't see every day for sure. Oh yeah, a shoutout to Richard's Sanitation as I see that they are represented in the background 🤣🤣

Looking like Master IMO...

Thinking that the first two are Master also..the last marble, I want to say Akro. By the way, like the backdrop for your pictures at the top 👍

Having issues uploading the videos too this thread, but anyway one shows the smoke just billowing past through my friends backyard. And the other, taken after sundown, shows the smoke rising from the building. I was just told that 3 of the 5 apartments were rented out upstairs, a young man who worked at the Kwik Trip across the street, a couple, and a young girl. They all made it out but sadly some pets were lost in the fire. She just sent me this post....

I posted this story in the Christmas thread, but I think I will add the pictures here, as this accident was more than likely cold weather related. The old hardware store as it burned and what's left of it in Spring Grove MN... I got off work and drove into Spring Grove see everything blocked off. I just received these pictures and videos from a friend who lives right behind Main Street, directly behind this stretch of buildings. The video itself is kinda far away, it's as close as they would let anyone get as they had entire blocks sealed off. Plus it was freezing so it's from inside. First the pictures....all that's left. The hardware store actually consisted of two buildings joined together. The building you see frozen is the left hand side of the rubble. This is where Mulqueens Hardware sold its Napa auto accessories. I was told today that it started shortly before the lunch hour and that Spring Grove decided to try and fight it themselves. My goodness, why would you wait? Caledonia, about 8 miles too the east, they didn't get called until shortly after 3pm. I know this because I was outside starting my car when I heard and saw them heading west towards Spring Grove. Wow

Looking like Vitro's from what I can see? The second mib not 100% on that but leaning Vitro...

It is indeed a very nice marble. I'm curious about it's origin myself 😊👍

Thinking Jabo....

Happy Akro Friday 😊

The sub zero temperatures are only forecasted too last a few days then by Wednesday next week were looking at almost 40 degrees!?! Minnesota being crazy as usual...
