That's a great gift, Tommy! When you say "with these in it", you aren't referring to all of the American marbles in the pic too, or are you?

No ....that's my sorting table lol...

Just the clay and the sulfide

An unionskin also, little worn beautifull to find in the wild between others 

Enjoy the pictures

Finally got to do a bit of hunting! Sadly, didn't find anything for mibs but wasn't leaving empty handed. Decided to settle for some pretty cool spheres.

The first one is African Jasper called a "Thousand Eye Stone". Need to replace my battery in my calipers so I am using a quarter for size comparison. This baby weighs 3/4 of a pound.

The second one is Aventurine, well under peewee size.

The third group are some super tiny agates, love em.

Leaving empty handed usually isn't an option for me 😊

Gear shift knob, awesome pattern. Haven’t seen this shape before.8FC088E7-22E7-49C6-81A8-21CD715B0CE2.thumb.jpeg.3dbb91df628c4f444b91ca8c4a00cdda.jpeg9D90927A-8FC7-44F1-B407-93E1D9D30A2B.thumb.jpeg.49b8db5bda77e6f182a7fdd94d8e356b.jpeg0C39A612-1CAB-4A4B-B87A-3E3657904B83.thumb.jpeg.7ad30d071f0b8f09755dc5a6d879e8cc.jpeg

New to me also, I would say door knob but the core suggests otherwise  ?? All the flatter ones I've seen like that are from earlier models, made of Bakelite "nice score :thup:"

I was thinking possible “Brody” knob, but the large thread negates that.

Wish I had a picture, I saw one similar for sale in Winona, Minnesota a while back. Red swirls on a white base. I like yours better with the additional color. 

The one I saw also was still attached to the shifter itself, it was broken off about 8 inches below the "mib". The seller wanted $275 if memory serves me correctly.

On the hunt today and found some nice Akroware 😊....the "black" pot is actually my first, I guess you can say, "non" slag piece other than a few plates. Backlit, it's actually a nice amethyst 👍

So it's safe to say that these are HTF....I haven't seen one before anyway. Funny thing is I almost didn't see it! Just happened to look down at a bunch of planters and recognized the ribbed top. Didn't even know it wasn't black until I got home!

In the right place at the right time today for my first bulk score in a little while. Decided to go for a drive to one of my area haunts and a vendor that might put out marbles every few months had some on the shelf. Days work is done, time for some fun 😊
