not caged, but early mk's ... bill

would if i did mon ... but i backed up when i first saw them. too much hype .. too much " push" to sell them .. gotta get 1 now ... yea, too whoever can do it .... split 1 and see ... shut the speculation ... up ... the story is no better now than it was then .... bill

hit that nail rite on the head steve .. i was at hannibal when they walked in the door ... head scratchin... hmmmm's ..... pretty things ... same show ole me didn't recognise that graycoat .... and les snapped it up ... i don't forget stuff like that ... and the 6-8 names associated with their " bringing out" are all recognizable .... pretty glass to be sure .. but as i said ... break 1 up and lets see what they are. settle the arguement , for sure. damaged 1 for experiment .. ????? bill

good luk with that steph ... seems not to many want to show these little pretties and have them " dissected" as to .. are they real or ... not. and there has, to my knowledge, been no glass analysis done to give another insight to these. is there a reason .. why not ?? never can get definative with these other than personal testimony. money well spent ... or .. .... bill

there are several co.'s that have the same to similiar colors. on the orange, akro comes to mind with all the color tones they used. don't think that the miller can justify the frit just by the base. and akro was into the experimental big time also. j.m.o. ... bill

innovations in machinery and techniques have been coming out of reno for several years now. an american company is still functioning and viable. people are learning, and employed, still, and the proof is in the product. and surprises are still being formulated and put to the test. i can't wait. and .. if i had my way, i would be just down the road ... everday ... and all this talk about money and investment potential ... and how jabo has a negative effect ... BULL ... protecting selfserving interests is not a valid arguement for me. buying a vintage or contemp. marbles, regardless of value, for me, is solely an issue of .. do i have enuf money and ... do i want it. i've NEVER bought for investment. altho some have turned into a value that surprises me ... i'll probably continue on as before. the old masters techniques haven't been figured out .. yet. testing and the new ideas coming from jabo should never be slowed down. they should be encouraged and promoted. and are being done so by some very intelligent and responsible people ... i'm waiting for some more to just spin me around ... ... bill

even when guy told the story to me,and he agreed, it didn't hold .. ANY .. water then .. and doesn't now .. wasn't a lik of proof on anything ... j.m.o... bill
