If one orders glass (boro etc) these days this is a sample of what is sold as Pistachio glass:

A large Geoff Beetem air trap: A tiny Harry & Wendy Bessett Eisenglas (mica inclusion in clear):

Ravenswood:

A few more "clears": Mike E. Shadows: Mike E. UV Galaxies: JD Anderson Pee Wee Jellyfish:

Bob: The white tri-level solid core at 12 o'clock in the photo measures 2.25": Here it is with the smallest - a 15/32" divided core: This is the divided core pee wee: The large green and yellow divided core pictured on Page 1 of this thread comes in at 2 3/8" dia.: Alan

Lots of clear:

Brown:

I own two Akro spinner cups dug from the site. They have grooves carved into the cup to "catch" glass and start it spinning.

FYI Greg: The pee wee box that I sold to Les was roughly twice that size.

Les Jones had a Pee Wee box. I sold it to him at the Columbus show.

The handmade market is showing softness right now - which to me means "BUY!". I would buy mint sulphides with good figure placement and detail without hesitation. I bought a really nice handmade last weekend at the New Philly that would have cost me twice the price in an average market - so I see the soft market segment as an oportunity.

Al of the sulphide coins that I have seen were roughly 3 times as thick as the one pictured.

Killer Pelts: A PHENOMINAL set of Pee Wees: Killer Bricks, slags, Pekts etc:

HotHouse Glass (makers of GREAT "Plaidacinos": Geoff Beetem and some of his great work:

Peltiers: Handmades: "The Griff":

Eddie Seese: Mark Thompson ®: John Harris - Clearwater Agates (L): A great Indian board: Peppermints:

The handmades on the Solitaire board were huge - ~2" in diameter! Royal Morse:

I took a lot of photos at the New Philly show and thought that I would share them with others. It was a very good show with quite a quantity and array of quality marbles for sale. Kudos to Steve Smith for putting it all together. Enjoy the pics! Alan Carl Fisher and his work with polymer clay: Two pieces based upon his wife's vintage paperweight (top): Show Hall: Zillions of Jabos: A pause in the show to recognize Smitty's great work in organizing and promoting the show:

They do not apear to be what have popularly become known as "English colors" IMO.

The cullet you show in the pics appears to have come from the factory breaking down a furnace/pot and rebuilding it. That would also easily explain large, heavy pieces.

Akro Agate's largest production size was 1" - although rare experimental varieties exist larger than 1" (a very rare few substantially larger).
