Might get more answers on the ball bearing forum.

LOL................................I agree.

Truely some of the finest! Let us know if and when you will be listing them.

I was just wonderin' if you ever found out any more info. FWIW, I found 7 MFC bricks in a dumpsite in north central wyoming. Seriously. Found 10 mibs in the ground that day within 5 ft of each other the other 3 were slags, not sure of the maker, but they were handgathered.....ok, enough hijacking. LOL

I still think that referring to those marbles as being from Shanghai might be misleading to some folks. You ever find out if it was a general purpose dump or strickly a glass marble company dumpsite? Just curious. Cause if its a general dump, further proof would be needed. Just sayin'

Great photo! Thanks for sharing that!

You'll either get over it or die pissed off. Just take a break for awhile. The weathers getting nice, get outside and do something.

Vaseline would be cool! I have tons of clear, amethyst, and carnival glass.

Not only no, but Hell no! Every relative I have thinks they need to constantly keep buying me frogs. I have frogs coming out of my ass!

Always a pleasure to view your creations Mikey!

What the heck is wrong with my avatar?

You figured it out, but the thread is quite old......LOL

Do you still have the bag,where was it made,very few of the Anacortes bags/marbles were made.They moved from Parkersburg in 1987

Yes, I still have the bag. I am away from the house for a couple weeks though.

You could have linked to my watch list! LOL Some great stuff there Charles!

I would maybe get a couple of shares, but I would want to know what the group has planned for colors, etc before taking the plunge. LOL

I didn't realize that the Costmic Rainbos were quite that old. I got a brand new package in the store in 1993 (ish). Of course they are older than that date, the store was going out of business and not sure how long they had been on the shelves, but that many years seems quite awhile....I am now curious. Get to diggin' Steph and see what you can find!

FWIW, I think many of the "Czech" guineas are actually of German origin. My shooter was from germany, and it was from a seller that does a lt of digging at the old glass sites there.

And IMHO, the marble at the start of this thread is a so-called 'bullet mold" type. (I dislike that term myself)

Wow Winnie! Those are fantastic!

Derrick

I don't think its a retorch, but a completely torch made contemp. IMHO.

That is a fine specimen JVV. I have an onionskin (which your marble is not) with one opaque yellow band on the surface.

Great looking and a whopper to boot!

Carole, was it purposely sold to you as a vintage/antique handmade? It is 100% contemp, but it is a beautiful marble.
