  1. All opinions welcome here. Unless they are mine (LOL)
  2. Can't wait for the new Bond Movie!!!!!!!
  3. All MFCs are hand gathered marbles and 99.9 percent of them have a 9 or similar pattern usually with a tail and a simple cutline. I see none of those characteristics in this marble. But I certainly am only guessing at what I feel it is. I am not positive at all. I wonder what this marble would look like if bith cutoffs would have been hidden in the fold
  4. Thanks Ron, but I really wanted to know how Bob felt since he had such strong feelings about contemporary makers.
  5. Yes Winnie,that looks like one. I believe on a rare occasion 2 seam marbles get foded it such a way that one seam gets hidden under the other. They do not look like the simple cutline one should find on a single seam marble.( which should be handgathered marbles??) Like the one you show they appear more like the glass is pulled over the top of the other seam.
  6. Not real fancy but it is easy to clean and does the trick
  7. Bob, Just wondering how you feel about any of the new privately run machine mades that resemble old marbles?
  8. Still making them and I think they are from this century
  9. I would have them with my German types, The one on the right is very close to CAC
  10. Yes they are Chinese and they are still making them. Pete sells them at LOM
  11. Love big ol Bugs. Gotta go buy crickets for my Mantis today.
  12. could be a folded up 2 seam CAC?
  13. Looks like a folded up 2 seam slag to me. (not a standard single seam IMO)
  14. Hand cut and ground agate marbles are actually being made in several countries. There are a few folks making them in the good ol USA. It is a very common lapidary project when learning to use the equipment. They are also still dying Agates. The colors and pattern on that one suggest older to me.
  15. And yesterday I was a dinglehoffer, according to what a 90 year old father had to say to me.
  16. Looks like a swirl to me. I would guess Alley Agate.
  17. I can thinck of something else that would be real hard to do in a revolving door.
