Accidental new guy

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

New to THIS forum, but I've been around discussion forums for a while.  The Marble Connection was the first collector forum to come up in my Google-Fu search, hence the "accidental" moniker.

Reason for my visit:  Trying to downsize my worldly possessions, I was going through some tins of old foreign coins that I've had for decades (and decades).  I ran across a couple of "intriguing" marbles that I found when I was a kid.  Was looking to get more information on one of them, the other I am sure is quite pedestrian.

The one I am most interested in was found in an old pottery jug when I was a kid that I pulled out of the Mississippi river in Wisconsin during the 1965 flood.  My parents cleaned out this old moonshine jug and found a couple of marbles in it, one of them was painted.

Anyway, I will get a decent photo taken and will be back to post it.

Hello.  Welcome.  That left marble looks like a winner.   And you are correct about the other being "pedestrian" -- a common cat's eye.   :)

Thanks for the welcome.  You seem to have an incredible wealth of knowledgeable members here.  I am still trying to learn and navigate the forum software.  I am most familiar with the Xenforo platform.  This one has a bit of a learning curve for an old guy like me.

Looking forward to learning and participating.

Welcome ZoidMeister  :wave2: fun time's ahead.

Thanks for the welcome Chad,

Regrets that has taken me this long to get back with you.  I usually check in on my internet forums during the week while at work, and the past two weeks it feels that tasks have doubled over the previous several weeks.  When I get home in the evenings, I go off technology until my wife goes to bed, then it's just an hour or less, and truthfully, I forgot to check back in here on the Marble Connection.   Just trying to leanr more, and reconnect.
