By the time that's all started it was getting dark and I wanted to shoot him in daylight so tomorrow I'll shoot them. We have a just remember but it's clear.

No, those are swiped photos sorry!!!

I will definitely keep my eye out. Thanks! I got to start going to rummage sales, clearly!!!

Of course, condition counts!! 😃

Got it. I see makes perfect sense. A precursor to our games with plastic pins! Cool.

No, no, stop! STOP!!! I can't take anymore! I can't take anymore!! LOL! Machine made marbles are enough! Enough! 🌛☄️

Never heard of Mosaic games!

Cool!!

It needs to be with my Alley peewees, that's how cute it is!!

Wow! Who knew? well, you did and now so do I! LOL. Too much fun! There's marbles for everything!!!!

Exactly!

I totally agree. I can't imagine how they would even charge to certify a marble. Do I want to certify a $25 marble and pay $15 for that? I can't imagine someone hand certifying a marble for $3, just in terms of time and processing it's going to cost you money! The big dollar marbles those aren't going to be readily available to purchase anyway. I'd expect those are going to go for big dollar estates sales when that stuff gets liquidated. Or actually I've heard sometimes it is already set up as who's going to purchase a marble collection after an original owner have decided they no longer need it. I have a comic book I want certified but it's going to cost so much compared to what I paid for it, it's hardly worth it.

This is an excellence, comprehensive tutorial on Popeyes vs. Spirals and all that. So much good information here!!!

Butt crack standard description for that loop! JABO.

Using uranium in glassmaking as a way to create green and yellow glass or in other colors, like white, makes the glass look different. With about 10% of sunlight being UV light, this will definetly affect the look of the colors than glass colored without the use of darkness and a modern UV light. it is difficult to photograph it without considerable setup, but we have a vintage green canister set and vintage green measuring cups. The measuring cups are all UV reactive and they have a definite warmer glowing green yellow color than the traditionally-colored green glass, side by side. Uranium has been widely used to color glass since the mid 1800s and was very popular for many decades!! The casually-named Vaseline Glass was very popular and is varying styles of a yellow green (photo borrowed, item not mine). It is also used to color opaque glass is seen in the second photo, also not mine, below. And as mentioned above, when that glass is used as cullet for marbles, the UV quality is passed on. Uranium is still in use today to color glass.

I've followed discussions on Christiansen Guineas before and the hole in it indicates it's not a CAC Guinea, as I recall.

Yes, Peltier Peerless Patch, nice red on green.

Oooooooooooooh!!!! Wow. Wow.

I know!!!

Perfect 1950s movie... sometimes they knew where they came from sometimes it was just outer space!! In theaters now: The Sparkler from Outer Space!

Hi here's a lovely little peewee! Just arrived in the mail today!! Akro. Exactly one half inch. Look at beautiful swirls and black line! I don't know if Ravenswood made peewees... not my photo.

The latest Halloween film now in release: The Sparkler From Somewhere ☄️

No wonder, really! They had a whole group of highly skilled and dedicated folks, glass wizards, all!! ⚡️ And I have heard stories of huge batches of ruined glass! Yeah, the entire thing is just awesome... why I love it! and then anybody still doing any of it today? Wow, even cooler.
