Went to a new consignment store today. There was a table with open baskets of marbles, started cherry picking. Clerk came over and said they were for sale as a lot. After seeing the 15/16” black clown and odd green corkscrew with colorant, it was a done deal. The marble King bag (Heaton?) was a bonus.IMG_0702.thumb.jpeg.67b817d3c8eefbda55c36d667843c484.jpegIMG_0703.thumb.jpeg.dfd30de250c555949a16f880a7931e3b.jpegIMG_0704.thumb.jpeg.dc518d4c2f7a9114bd82396973a70b30.jpegIMG_0705.thumb.jpeg.affb972458735fdfb303211f47f8e75a.jpegIMG_0706.thumb.jpeg.037abb2dcd7cbd61b75803ac9ab46de7.jpegIMG_0707.thumb.jpeg.50bea427bf0c897390c1f1671cbda890.jpegIMG_0708.thumb.jpeg.64a7381d800787ab8277cbc6293de0fa.jpegIMG_0709.thumb.jpeg.8c3dae006fd96b79f51950bfe4c9d966.jpegIMG_0710.thumb.jpeg.17379bb68c7e3ee787ce78075de52a7c.jpegIMG_0711.thumb.jpeg.05b2660860d27f8f9f72498af13f2e4b.jpegIMG_0714.thumb.jpeg.48895cd6dfc080edb2aaf30fc97a481d.jpeg

Had the day off and me and my daughter went antiquing.  Found some very cool stuff plus this nice gem. I’m thinking it’s Christiansen, nine and tail. Tell me if I’m wrong. That’s a nice cut seam,  I’m assuming from being hand gathered ?

I’m beyond stoked. Got permission to look in a creek that is adjacent to an old dump that we used to frequent when I was a kid back in the 70s. The dump has probably been there since the 50’s maybe earlier. I couldn’t find any in the creek so I went into the dump area with a rake and pulled back some of the dirt and found this. I wasn’t there 10 minutes. I’m thinking Alley swirl or maybe a CAC bloody. I can’t believe it. This is my very first dug marble. I can die happy now …… Well, maybe in a few years😁

I keep my players in Crown Royal sacks. They do the job, but they're not nearly as cool as those crocheted bags!

I hope you are drinking the crown royal🤣🤣🇺🇸
