Fire1981 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I saw this thread on All About Marbles and thought we should start our own thread. The Bumble Bee loaded with Av is from Galen Wilcox. The Handmade with mica is from my Grandma on the German side of the Family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 The busted up Blue Pelt slag was given to me by a lady on my paper route. She knew I liked marbles and she found this in her garden. A gift is a gift. Her newspaper was always in her mailbox and never got rain or snow on it.

Chad G. Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 A few, I treasure these mibs above all the rest, given as gifts by people who consider me a friend and thought enough of me to send a little surprise. These will never leave my collection at any price !! The beat up blue slag was given to me when I was 10 years old by my Mother, my first marble, kept on a high-rise acrylic stand in a special place on the top shelf of my best curio. I have many, many Jabo's all given to me by a very good friend, all hand picked as the best they had, first ones I ever had all came as gifts, some fantastic people, among the best and closest friends I have, "Marble Friends are the Best Friends" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have so many. In 2104, these marbles showed up in a box on my porch with a fake name as the return address. I suspect Mike Barton was involved in the surprise. He was quick to make sure I saw the "blue base pearlescent patch" in this picture, and in later years he would refer a couple of times to how good I know he is at keeping secrets. I could only guess he was talking about this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 In 2019, I got this brilliant advent calendar from so many of our marble friends here, some named, some secret, with a compartment of marbles to open each day leading up to Christmas. Pictures posted here: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/25222-advent-calendar-suddenly-i-am-in-the-holiday-spirit And many more treasures along the way. I have much to bump this thread with. Some of my first gifts came from Carole Shockley and Diane Wise (forum name Dejapa), who both have passed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I remember Carole ! Talked to her on the phone about a Blue galaxy she had. She was not one to mess with. Steph I totally have to agree on The Mig Box. That's was so him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
