  1. I am at the US Patent site the Google patents page had its own access issues. all I was getting was European ones I had to try to figure out how to get it to search for the US numbers. There are prefixes and suffixes that seem to be missing.
  2. How totally cool!! Wow. I can only imagine.......
  3. LOL!!! But the patch is opaque, unlike the OP. That was my view.
  4. It has been told to me that a horse hair can can be looked at as the beginning or end of a color. A color is just being added or a color is just running out! So with that being the case, to me it actually is cooler cuz it freezes a moment in time!
  5. I think this is is why everyone wants their marble to be a CAC but when you see an actual CAC, you know the chances of that happening is pretty rare! Wow. I seem to saying wow alot tonight.
  6. It's an interesting content. I've heard this upping of the number of tips required to be called a Flame quite a number of times now and I've actually said it myself. It's a curious thing. The three tips I hope would be cheaper and the 10 tips will probably have a price tag on it that would cause me to pause.
  7. Digging around and finding those spectacular marbles, wow, what a great reward for all that effort to get there.
  8. I love the white 5 gallon bucket that says Ron on it. That's cool!
  9. That is an amazing story, wow. I can just imagine it! Maybe a bit overwhelming and yet exhilarating!! So many fantastic stories!
  10. When I look at these I compare them against the original PPP box, which just shows a solid color with an opaque patch. Perhaps these translucent patches were later but it doesn't strike me as part of the original group.
  11. 1. Nutty with roll marks. 2. Alley 3. Peltier Rainbo
  12. A shovel-full of marbles into a 5 gallon bucket... I can't even speak...it takes my breath away!!! Looks like hard work for sure but work well doing!
  13. x2. Very interesting to see an early one. Mostly the bands are wider on the ones I own and have seen. seen.
  14. I have given prize symbols to all this information. It is truly astonishing that with all of those requirements, all of those difficulties, all of those practicalities that they were able to produce such incredible things at such an amazing rate. We are truly grateful to have this information available to us, to know how it was done. So many How'd They Do It things in past history have lost.
  15. Alley, Master, Marble King not Rainbow Red
  16. I know I'm late to the party but what I do know is that this article has made me love oxblood even more than before!!!
  17. I'm having trouble accessing these because there is a little application that has to run to display them. It is not functioning on my computer!!!!!
  18. Find excellent descriptions of oxblood, how it occurs in the marble making process as well as photographs of oxblood in marbles, Vitrolite oxblood cullet, oxblood from different companies! Also personal, amazing stories and photographs of the Heaton factory site to dig, told by the people who were there and did the dig!!
