akroorka replied to shiroaiko's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Shrioaiko , You have stood up quite with the doubters with grace. I do not know if you are man or women and I could care less. Just keep it coming. I, for one, appreciate what you are giving us here. Marble--On!! -
There is one thing about nets--you can check them before you buy them. Slow down and check them first. A buy and grab never does any one any good. You can blame the seller all that you want to--I would blame "me" "Myself and I" for a bad purchase in your shoes. I will always blame myself for a bad purchase--always---- Marble On!!

Ragnar was a barn cat that kept creeping inside of where he previously lived to beat up the house cat. I took him in just because of the chipmunk invasion. I kept him in a crate for two weeks in the garage--of course I took care of him--after that I let him out and walked him around the yard, he followed me around like a dog listening to what I had to say. He was an orange "Tabby". He defended his ground but just played with the chipmnks and let them go..My prevoius 0range "Tabby"--Larry--was a much better hunter--he ate them. Now--today at least, we have a rescue center about 500 yards from our house. They fix strays and then let them go.. There are plenty of cats around for sure. I Have three dogs and cats are not in my future. I remember a young Vet telling my that Larry/Ragnar sounded more like a tool than a pet. They were both for sure. These two cats, even though they lived in the garage or outside were two of the few animals that I trusted with my grandkids--so gentle!

Contract marbles
akroorka replied to Cato's topic in Marble-Related Documents, News, Etc., Especially Items with Dates
This is a thing my friend. Many marble companies sold the marbles that they made to "Jobber " companies that were in fact āToy Companiesā that repackaged them with their own name. This is an old thing and it still goes on today. Just think of the amount of Vacor marbles that were sold under different names. Mega was not the first by far. Imperial in California was by far the greatest jobber imho. They purchased marbles from about 20 different countries. I could probably list 100 of them over the years back 100 years or so.( I will not do this--too tired) CAC jobbered out marbles and that goes back aways.The clays and even the Chinas were Jobbered- or sold to another name. MarbleāOn!! -
@Fire1981? @Chad G.? Marble--On!!
-
I included @shiroaiko here. As well as many that have dropped out and came back to marble collecting--@steph? I dropped out for quite awile--I am back for sure-just not as far as I wished I was. @Fire1981 dropped out for awhile he is back in spades. Many such as @Al Oregon want to back off but he keeps coming back with his wisdom. @Chad G. is pushing through pain but he is here for us--always. We are geting thin on the older side of collecting--but many of us are back and committed. @Alan is no spring chicken but he gives us his best for sure. @Nantucketdink is not a youngster either. I have missed many but you get what I mean--it is supper time and I have to go MarbleāOn!! Bing Videos
