We'll fix the holes,AFTER Bill gets the boat ride!--LOL Boat doesnt look like this any more,,,in process,,,

Only if your willing to do the blind folded,leak test on the feather craft. Ill push you out in the lake,you holler if your feet get wet!

Got tired of beating the dents out of a 1959 feather craft boat,so I went marble hunting. Found a couple things,including a pint jar of sinkers,of all things!-LOL The marble is 2 inches.

Well,that kind of back fired! Hmmmmmm,Maryland,seems like a close territory to invade!

I keep the "just in case" list full. Generator Gasoline Lanterns,both white gas and propane Gas stove that doesnt require electric Keep a nice pile of canned/dried food in the pantry. Case or 2 drinking water. I kind of have alternatives for alternatives at my house.Food being one of my favorite hobbies,lets see,Small grill,2 big grills,fire pit out back,gas stove,,,,,,,come to think of it,there is a solar hot dog cooker in the attic,but the dang thing dont work good at night!---LOL

Vintage peltier,all the way.Killer pattern. Always liked the jewel trays too.These are plane jane(no markings on the bottom)Missing the bottom steel cap on the one. Oh yeah,Im in the market for a bottom cap for a jewel tray!----LOL

I almost forgot about these!-They came from another shop,on my way home from WV.

Id say it is from the same "house",Jeroen.Looks identical as far as color,and stretch. Im with you too on the shrunken core,,,it is,just not an extreme. There could be a bidding war,with as many people that have sent me messages. Maybe I could distract you with this little thing I found today. Im thinking I feel lucky,with the marble finds in the last few days.Might get some lottery tickets! over 3/4.

Comming home from the marble run at Sammy's,I accidently found this 2&7/16+ onionskin. End of day,unpaneled,faceted pontil. For the handmade people,would you consider it a shrunken core?

I was,the absolute last,at Marlborough.-----Couldnt go fishing until the next day! If anyone makes it manditory for the vendors to stay,I would guess,there will be even less,to set up at the show. I understand the disappointment some have had,arriving late at the show. Early bird gets the worm come to mind.

I had the good fortune of being slightly sheltered by the mountain,I live on. Many on the east coast were/are not as lucky.

I leave a little early because of the travel time I face,after the show is over. 6 hours of show,backed up with a 6 to 10 hour drive aint much fun,,,sometimes.

Thanks for posting all the pictures. You have been way busy!

Are they from about 15 years ago,when there was a run with transparent base and "classic" colors?

I missed you guys by a day,dag nub it!!!

Lots of marbles,cullet,dishes,,,oh yeah,organic pickled red beets and pickles too!

suspicious on the blue,lower left corner,,, Looking for the oxblood on the orange based ones,,,,

Griff might go swinmming,but more that likely,some type of fishing will be involved,,,,

Nice naked ribbon!---When they are thin like that,I call them razor ribbons. I cant remember seeing any with a typical pontil.All ive seen,had the faceted pontil(s). Is it between 3/4 and 1 inch dai.? I wonder if "Bob and Bert",appreciate the name drop?

Started packing,,,,,,,,,well,the boat is on the hitch,anyway!--LOL MIGHT NEED A ROOM FRIDAY NIGHT,TO DISPLAY SOME PICKLES AND RED BEETS

That is sad news,,,,,,I liked it when he would "bend my ears" for a while.

Hey Bill,wanna go for a boat ride?

What smells?

Well,Ron and myself are almost there,,,,

Yeah,that dead horse thing is spot on!!!!---I hear that from the guys on race day,,,,,,,,They get real quiet,when I say,there could be no more PERCH for race day. Dont want to forget about how well,I photo crop pictures out of magazines too !!!-----LOL YOUR TIME IS COMMING BILL,,,,,,,,Ill holler honey hole when the camera is on the bottom,,,,
