romanoak Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm planning to be there Friday. I'm in France this week and I'm glad there are very few marble to be had here as I've not gotten a chance to even "get off the farm". Scheduled return flight through Boston. It has always been one of my favorite shows. Kudos to Bert for all the work he has done for so many years. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hello Bill, I told you that marbles are hard to find in France I have no idea why. Perhaps German people and France people were not the best friends in the period that the handmade marbles were produced in Germany. But at least you saved some money for the marbles show ;-) Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoak Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Jeroen, Didn't expect much but no time to search. So see you at the show right? just catch a quick flight, you can come to the show and be back Mon in time for work:-) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hello Bill, I wish I could, but to far away for me. Why did the Germans send all the marbles to the USA? If they had not done that, we could have all the marble shows here in Europe ;-) Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBlock Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 We had a great show yesterday. I'll post some images in a little while. I haven't gotten a final count from Bert yet, but I'm estimating that there were about 200-225 that walked through the door, maybe a little more. A lot of faces I haven't seen there before. Finally got to meet idigjars! Yea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
