Very Hard To Find. If it's out of round that doesn't mean it's VHTF. Probably recovered at a dig. $10 People seem to think a lot of their marbles are VHTF. At $55 they are dreaming and mislead. FWIW

Thank you, I laughed aloud at “they are dreaming and misled!”

It’s very true. I was at a flea market and saw a Blue Bennington with a few marbles in a jar. I asked the guy what he wanted for the jar. He poured the jar out in a tray and told me the Blue Bennington was worth $50. I just said good luck. No slap in the face trying to straighten that price out. Just moved on.

I do not mind spending when it’s worth the price, that’s why I always ask, because as much as I’ve tried to find comparisons, it is so up and down with pricing. I’m trying to find an Indian blanket or I’m sure I’ve seen other “Indians” to honor my poor husband who is Native American and has spent hours trying to teach me how to shoot properly with some of my ABU marbles on the rug. ABU is my own acronym for “all banged up!” Thank you all so much. I’m honored to be around such knowledgeable collectors.

Hold out. Don't jump on this one. It's worth looking for down the road. Tell him I proudly worked side by the BIA in the 4 Corners area here out West for 10 years. I learned a lot. My Mom is pro active with the tribes in North And South Dakota. I also worked in Alaska as a Fire Fighter and trained a lot of the Athabascan tribes in Alaska how to fight fires for 10 years as well.

It is my pleasure to know you and I appreciate all you do for indigenous people. I love the four corners area. I’ve been to Denver many times to National Jewish Health-best pulmonary doctors in the country IMHO. I work a lot with Lakota Law Society and Pine Ridge Reservation- One Spirit, which is for the children. People have the misconception in the east that all Indian tribes have casinos and are doing quite well. You tour Pine Ridge or Rosebud and it is like a third world country. So sad from the richest nation in the world  when you see some of the people who have more money than they’ll ever spend and the dire poverty of the original Americans. Sorry I’ll get off my soapbox, now!
