If you can go early, get a room and set up if you want to sell or trade your "stuff". If you can't do a room and you are close to Portland, drive in and do the room hopping in the time you have - afternoon, evening, etc. While we do go out to eat, it's usually pretty short and plenty of time to visit, buy, sell, trade, learn, etc. The collectors are usually on one or two floors in the hotel and they will have their doors propped open so you can go in and visit, etc. If you do want to sell at the show, reserve a table and they'll let you know when to show up to set up. If you don't sell, come to the show when it opens and have fun. People start arriving on Wednesday. Look forward to meeting you.

Figuring out how to start selling to pare down my bag and box collection, etc. eBay, with their IRS reporting now, makes it tough as I probably did not document well enough for an IRS audit. Bob B. has his auctions and I have some coming out with him.

Not sure if those are even Peltier?

Neat one!

Top pictures - right one might be a bullseye.

Legit bag.

So sad to read. Ron was one of the first collectors that I met outside of the West Coast. Just a great help and inspiration to learn about the marble collecting hobby. He and I communicated about marbles over the years and I saw him at the few shows that I attended in the midwest and east coast. My prayers to his family. RIP.

That last one is a foreign marble - commonly referred to as "Imperial".

Nice work.

Here is a picture by Bill Tow of the marble with Les's ashes in it given to him by Sue Jones. No information on who made it.

Then there was a post by Jeroen back in 2010 about a Roman marble (200 - 300 AD) found in The Netherlands. Here are some pics of it.

Bert Cohen had some Roman marbles but the only picture that I can find of his was one picture of one donated to the Marble Museum, back when Chris Cooper ran it. Here is the pic. - not really helpful.

$159 for a bag of contemporary torchwork marbles??? Here is my bag, front and back - 2003. I'd let it go for $99. Maybe Ferguson is still in business?

So, what is it?

Here is pic of 2nd Run - not sure who posted.

My pics

Got my room reserved.

Maybe make a house call.....?

5/8 inch

Paula C. had posted these on FB and wondering if they are Alley or Champion (like New Old Fashion)?

I'd lean Alley.

Cool

Agree

I don't see Wicked Owl for that one unless there are some newer ones that are different from the old. Here are some of my Wicked Owl bags from mid-to-late 90's forward.

I have seen pics of yellow and orange (much lighter red type) Flinties also.
