This used to be my "Pocket Marble". I would take it wherever I went. To work—to the mall—Grocery shopping—etc. I just love this thing. It grounded me and my collecting addiction. It is still front and center on my desk-top (wooden desk top). I remember Gino Biffany offering me a trade at a show—“anything that you see”---it may have been a test but I turned him down. He was a character for sure—what a great guy-------- Some marbles you just fall in love with—this is mine. Marble—On!!

Support for sure!! Patience--well, I am a baby boomer collector--patience always. Marble--On!!

Orange slags are a hard find--if you followed this one like you say it must have taken hours😁--my eyes hurt just thinking about it. I would call it an Akro slag. All opinions are appreciated--this one needs some more of them. Marble--On!!
