  1. Atterbury Glass Co. Pickle Dish....blow up the third picture and you can clearly see the word "pickle" upside down....
  2. Still feeling a Blue based Master for the center marble....
  3. I still too this day think of the school teacher from New Hampshire, the first civilian too have that chance to go into space. January 28th, 2023 will be 37 years. It will always be there, that moment I stopped half way through Marietta (one of many Jacksonville suburbs) too look up.
  4. When it really comes to being totally awestruck, I mean witnessing an event that became one of the worst disasters in history, it was the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. That fateful morning I was getting ready for work, listening to the television. I just lived right up the coast from Cape Canaveral, in Jacksonville, Florida. I was a teenager then, working at a lumberyard. I went out the door, jumped on my 10 speed, and started out (my job was only a 20 minute bike ride away) I stopped about 5 minutes into my ride too look up and too the south, hoping too catch a glimpse of the Challenger shooting up into the morning sky. I saw it alright. I saw the long plume from the exhaust of the booster rockets, following it with my eyes too that little bright point of light which was the shuttle. Seconds after fixed my eyes on it, I saw it come apart, with those trails of smoke going in different directions. I didn't care and peddled as fast as I could back home and ran inside. There it was live on TV. The Challenger had exploded. I just stood there. Needless to say, I didn't go to work, and it took some time for it too sink in that I actually witnessed this horrible event. How in the heck I managed to choose the time I did too look up, I don't know. Sometimes I wish I never would have. Sorry, this isn't eye candy related. Just the discussion of rare occurrences, or whatever one wants to call them, got my mind racing back to that day of days. Apologies for taking things off topic..
  5. Nice! I've seen a handful myself, just lucky enough to be on the road with my phone handy. Speaking of rare occurrences, I just thought of one that happened to me when I was a young teenager. Living in Florida, we had a thunderstorm going on in the backyard and sunshine with clear skies in the front. This occurence only lasted seconds, but I remember it clearly as I came out the front door and stood there awestruck!
  6. That Windex is showing some green, right? I've only got 2 Windex marbles, both 7/8....both lacking the green from what I can tell. Nice marbles ☝️
  7. I'll look at them a million times, Chuck 👍😊
  8. I'm thinking they could be Master straight across also, but Vitro keeps popping in my head...Master flanked by Vitro's....hmmm...🤔
  9. Thanks all, a wee bit of hesitation will have one requiring opinions 👍

  12. Thanks all for your thoughts! Nice mib I think, crease or not. Gives it a little character 😉
  13. Nope, haven't scored lately...these are just from a jar that I haven't gone through very well yet. Actually have a few jars too figure out...

  15. Mid October of 2021, from my backyard in the early evening and late April 2020, a couple miles north of town. That was my first double rainbow that I ever caught with a camera 😊
