crashbelt Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I thought it would be fun to continue with micas from last week. So I gathered up the different colours I could think of from my boards and elsewhere, using Paul Baumann's great book as a reference. So here set on a Victorian pine Spin Jenny board are random sizes of micas - some photograph better than others unfortunately. There's blue, clear, aqua, blue/green, brown, yellow, turquoise, purple, amethyst, green, yellow, amber and of course my only red one. First time I ever put the different colours together and a lot of fun. It would be cool if fellow mica collectors post colours I'm missing - I saw a light pink one once on an auction site!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar board and always wondered what it was, so thanks for putting a name to it. I hope we get to see some more colors of micas but I think it'll be a challenge since you seem to have the bases pretty well covered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spin Jenny had a small wooden spinning top which was spun on the concave base of the board between the numbers, I think to knock marbles into the holes to score points. Pretty random game I guess - the top and marbles on mine were long gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 "Happy Thüringen Thursday" @ just under 7/16ths, well below the 1/2" mark, the smallest mica I have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbelt Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Here's a nice old mahogany Jaques board which I filled with faceted early swirls. So not an original set, but some nice early swirls which needed a home to display. Including three 'naked' ribbon cores - not prime examples with their roll lines and one with an air bubble in there but I like them!! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
