Speak of the.... Maybe you have an opinion on the "Rainbo cannonball" question Bill ?? Not like we haven't been over this before........

i don't think the 1 on the bay is pelt. structure wise ..... translucent .... wavy ribbons ...... just doesn't fit with ottowa. pelts cannonballs are .. usually ... opaque based.  be nice to see a seam ... but ..... and a w.v. maker would be a good pick just from looking at the pics.   

pelts ... pelts ... n more peltzzzzzz ...................

This is very sad. David was a gentle soul. He had a real flair for life, in general, and writing about marbles, in particular. Whenever I received something from him in the mail it was always a treat. He took a lot of care and time with packaging and presentation, always unique, and always included a hand-written letter. He was one of a kind, and he will be missed.

well said ric ... an interesting and full life .... r.i.p. david ... bill
