Scoop Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 in front of a rip roarin fireplace, I have to say they do have similar qualities... In front of my single snap-on gas fireplace (The senior citizen's preference!!! LOL)That I just "snapped on" before I read this... It's very interest how that's very true!!

mswitzer3 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 There is a few in here. No CAC's, All Jabo FoxFire. Smitty Flames where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyMarbleBuddy Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Question: Post #13, Zaboo ...what are those amazing things? You said they were non-CAC, got that part, but what else do you know about them? They are outrageously beautiful. (IMHO ;-} ) Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Miser, if that's humble, I'll have to GROVEL!!! LOL I don't think I have a really nice flame.... Those Germans are HOT!!!! Ruth, Dani's are Gutta Percha... They were previously called papermache, for lack of a better name. But, I think we're much closer with Gutta Percha... They are very rare and kinda, sorta feel like plastic, or sealing wax. Very lightweight and there's a few different types. I've never seen ones with that kind of pattern. The ones I've seen (I was lucky enough to run across 5, together, many, many years ago...) look more like this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(IMHO ;-} ) Ruth Hi Ruth... they are made from Gutta Percha. very old. lots of people call them paper mache marbles. We had a 4 page article on them in our news letter a year or so back.

Scoop Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Since this isnt about flames anymore paper,jabos and bozos I thought this would be ok AWESOME Lutz, Scott!!! If it's an old one, I don't think I've seen that combo before... Which seems odd... 'Seems like it should have been made more.... I think it's pretty cool that we can slide from "REAL" flames to marbles that look very similar... If we had to stay "STRICTLY BY THE BOOK" Ann & Ruth (and a bunch of others...) wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn about these... Let's try to loosen up and ENJOY this hobby.... That's what we're really here for, right?? Stay Chill....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Here are some more flames. The green & blue flame is georgeous, but what's the color of the one just behind it? Is it really purple, or just a deep blue? Either way, I'd take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
