Sorry to hear that. Prayers to his family.

That seems like a fair price - actually is a bag that I don't have.

And, probably one of the first handmade cat's-eyes - by Ro Purser in 1974-75 (picture by zaboo).

A real cat's-eye bag (see label/header) - Pressman.

I would say that it is not European based on my limited knowledge - seems like the Europeans have a little gap on the seams.

Does look like another snotty

Here's Galen's picture from 2007 of CA's with "tongues", which I think are the diaper folds.

Thanks - another scorcher (98 or so - 9th or 10th day in a row over 90) out here in Oregon where it is normally in the high 70's, low 80's. No humidity so just hot (like Arizona heat).

I agree - it looks like the foreign types that come in Imperial Toy packaging.

I'll be there Wednesday afternoon.

Here's a close-up picture that Dan did back in 2005 - thought I'd post it with his description: Pontils: Regular, Ground/Faceted, Melted, and Bullet Mold. Then there are Manufacturer or Cut Marks: Pinpoint, Folded, Pinch, Crease(spider web), and a Seam(which normally runs from pole to pole). Hope this helps.

Just want to make sure on measuring - how are you doing it - caliper or...? The reason I ask is because the Peltier Rainbo mentioned above, usually has skewed ribbons when it reaches the 15/16 and inch size.

I'll be there Wednesday afternoon. All you folks east of the Rockies, come on out and enjoy the "no humidity" climate of the Pacific Northwest, besides getting together with all the great people out here.

Agreed

The only thing you did not mention is whether it has a clear base. Popeyes have the clear base glass, wispy white and two (or more) colors.

I think the right one is Champion. The attached pictures are ones that I had ID'd by Ron & Ric at a Texas Show a few years ago. The one with greem & orange seems to match style-wise and glass-wise. The others are various blue & orange ones 9maybe with more opaque white) but they do seem to fit. The one pic from a bag was from a Champion Whirlwind bag that I have.

I've been collecting for 15 years or so now and still have a problem ID'ing many patches.

My avatar is the one I like

I think Bob must have gotten pictures messed up or the publisher did because marble 213 looks to have translucent milky base. I almost think 213 might be similar to 212 which is an ace.

Neat history!

And the No. 2 are harder to find also

On some other boxes from south of the border, I thought the SA was for South America. Even though it says made in Mexico, it could have been for South American sales. The IC - ? It already says Canicas on the box so "C" probably is not for that but...?

Galen - so now you have two of the CA-Gropper Pastels boxes?
