I wish !! This ones a lot closer but still  ?? About as close to a "Carnival" as I 've come, close in color & one of my best Alleys but still I wouldn't consider it a carnival.

My gf just bought me this awesome pitcher, which is most likely Phoenix Glass from Monaca, PA from the 1880s. It’s absolutely gorgeous and has a ground pontil on the bottom.

NON-SCORE

My name was given to a couple people who had family collections they were looking to sell. In both cases I asked them to send me pics of what they had, spread out in a cookie sheet or similar. Again, in both cases, the marbles were game, contemporary, and common cat’s eyes. There were a couple 5/8” Vitro 2-color cats.. nothing worth a visit taking 2-hours for each.

I was very polite giving them the news, suggesting they pass them on to the grandkids. I didn’t even get a thank-you for looking.

life goes on…

That's a bummer....made me think of my non-score a few months ago in Lacrescent. Little road side thrift store that when you walk in, your greeted by huge vessels of marbles, thousands of them. And good ones too at a glance. Next to the counter AND on the sale floor. The guy wouldn't budge regarding selling a single one. No matter what the offer was. Turned out he was a stoner who liked too sit there and stare at them. On top of that he had desk drawers right below them filled with bags and jars of mibs also. Potentially could have been my best score ever just from what I saw floating around in the glass. Yep, life goes on 😐
