Nice...that's a Biggun indeed Brad!

Great catch....looks good too...

stonehenge4242 was very kind to me this and I got a box of 29 marbles in the mail today. Mostly Mega Marbles and I suspect I have half a dozen cool Jabo's in this mix. 6 Big boulders. More than a few of these I do not have for sure!

Isn't that nice? Whadda guy! Thanks.

The other Biggins'

Liberty, and a black based boulder with white and brown swirls. (I can't find another like it but it might be a Raven too, just an odd swirl color other than yellow, it looks more brown)

Raven, Bumblebee, Hippo and Flamingo

Goes with the fingernails nicely Melissa.

Nice marble for sure Melissa.

Next time you are hunting try red/yellow and black with sparkles on your nails.

I would try it myself to find a "Golden Rebel" but the family might just think that it is time for me to quit this venture😁.

( maybe on my toe nails--I always wear socks:wub: )

Marble--On!!

That narrows it down 

 

La Crosse, Wisconsin is a great place to visit. Melissa is closer I think than I am, but I have visited there for one thing and one thing only –Antiques.
These cities along the Mississippi river are a gold mine for cool old stuff from all over the world.

Hit the local antique show last weekend.

found 8 small bags, plus 7 very collectible old straight razors.

Bags were older ziplock type, total price of $36. There were stickers under the paper labels, total price of ~$240.IMG_2287.thumb.jpeg.7428e1d338c1cb360a190bb6fffc9dca.jpegIMG_2288.thumb.jpeg.8fbbe7a17bbb7c74cc5c69bfbe3824ca.jpegIMG_2286.thumb.jpeg.ff59fae9a09510bbc4ac30aac7110427.jpegIMG_2304.thumb.jpeg.03e94e5df71735f8841517e649e43ff5.jpeg

@schmoozer sweet haul there's a couple interesting ones in that bowl .

Good price too!

Thanks! Got the razors for $5 each. 2 are 8/8” and there’s a 9/8” IXL razor. All big $$$ to professional restorers.

Don't know much about razors except I'm glad for my electric one and my occasional close shave with the disposable blue ones. Imagine shaving with those.

Nice marbles. Great deal. I haven't been to any kind of show for years. I always spend a lot more than I planned to or am so tight I regret later not buying something.

Lol--do you mean shaving--I just hate it.

Lets all just get hairy--I am in for it:character-smileys-238:.

I shave maybe once a week, when it gets real scratchy.
