Look closer to Pinchers than pinch pontils?? Do they have a 9

Sorry to bring this up Bob ! I just came back from the store with 5 cheeses, Good no sugar snack. The local Grocery Outlet Store(known in these parts as Ghetto Grocery) often has some great cheeses. 1. Cello, "Reserva" Italian style Fontal 2.Baron County Cheese - "Gouda" 3Tillamook "Garlic White Cheddar" Anything made by Tillamook is a step above. 4. Tilllamook "Smoked Black Pepper White Cheddar" 5. Sugar Brook "Spicy Gouda" I already have the stool softeners if needed (LOL)

go to the address bar when you are in ebay, click in the address bar so you see some blue. If the whole address is highlighted hold the ctrl key down and then the C. This will copy the address. if only partially highlighted click , ctrl and the A key then ctrl C . then just go to your post at MC click once in your post then click ctrl and the V key . Thats it, good luck

Alley Agate may be a better guess

those first two were part of Clydes "Canadian Types" group. Please let me know if you want to part with them.

Thanks for the lesson Winnie!

A quick exposure to certain gaseous acids will rust metal with out staining the surrounding material.

Apples and Oranges IMO on the first part.(unless they are promoting the sale of something they already know what it is. Or ignore the general consensus of any answers. But your last sentence is pretty much part of what I was saying. Whatever you want to call it, It is wrong IMO Totally off topic <> I have learned over the last dozen or so years that in business dealings(purchasing a service or even a product, that it is perfectly Okay to lie to try and get a deal in some cultures and it is not at all wrong in their way of thinking._________ I like lying being wrong much better

IMO listing (mis-listing) something in a way that will garner bids from the less sharp when one knows exactly what said item is, is just as bad as stealing the purse off the old ladies arm. (not catholic) And having been at this for so long it really sucks knowing so many do not feel the way I do??

What kind of kite!! You ask question I give my semi-educated opinion and ??? If it is old it is a new one for me.. And I have owned some of the better Alley Agates of the type mentioned and going by the picture they do not look similar?

a swirl

IMO a new marble and the 3/4 size just adds to it being new?

Those sometimes have aventurine in them

Holy freaking Hot Spell!!. It topped out at 81 the day I left for IOWA. This is just outside Sacramento on my way home today YIKES!! and double YIKES!!

And for quite a while it was cheaper than gas. What the heck??????

I knew if anyone could do it, it would be you. I owe you a marble

Pontil pics?

They are also recorded.

One little thing that has always amazed me is no matter where I am I can always go to the nearest store and will be able to buy a gallon of milk. I can be at a 7 / 11 in Fairbanks Alaska or the middle of the desert in Mesquite Nevada and I can pick up a gallon of milk. Where are all the damn cows and how is there that much milk available no matter what????? amazed at milk (LOL)

BOB, like you I am totally amazed and extremely happy with our postal system and how it works. Sure I wish they spoke English at my local branch, and wish they would quit leaving boxes in total view of the street on my porch. Wish the wait was less than 2 hours to get to the counter but dog gone it as long as those letters and packages keep getting to me and delivered for me for as little as it costs I will be a fan.. I have even received stuff that traveled over 200 miles the day after it was mailed first class??????

wanna bet a marble on it?? I know, back one day and already starting s***(LOL)

In case you miss my post in the other thread I believe all the GAR boxes with those dates are fake as there does not appear to be ant legit record of A GAR gathering on that date. And definitely not in Washington D.C. Maybe some super squirrel deep research can prove me wrong??

Try and find anything on a G.A.R convention with those dates printed on the first box. You have much better search skills than I. I found nothing???????????OOOOps I found a lot. That box is fake.

Hate to say it but it does not look much like any of the different vintage solid aventurine types (3 types) that I have possessed. IT looks closest to the Master. They all had fine grain aventurine not the type that looks like this marble, which to my eyes appears like the new added aventurines???? Just from a picture it is tough??

I had one of the best times I have ever had at a show. CACs were not exactly the marble of choice and the 2 great ones I bought had to walk into my room. The great time was getting to spend time with so many great folks that I had only connected with previously on the internet. I laughed out loud 3 time hearing "Hey you actually are a nice guy??"" Too funny!! Hung out with a couple characters from Virginia, Got to hear the best marble story I have and probably ever will, learned more history and saw some great marbles. Sami bought a fantastic Pelt that is the type I have coveted for a long time. And it was world class. I got an old 100 count box of Mexican pastels to compliment my CAC pastel box which was pretty awesome. Thanks to Chuck Chad Jamie and all the rest of you that made my visit so enjoyable!!!! I will get some pics up soon.
