Looks like we know where the "Body Snatchers" went after leaving Steph's neck of the woods!

Just wanted to post a big lefty.  I've bought Handmades from Kathy (oldnurse) before & I used to have two spotted EOD onionskins over 2" a rarity for sure as I've only seen a few this big since I sold mine in 09.

A .80"  av. Joseph Coat, my favorite type of Handmade, the two unfinished pontils help date it  approximately to the late Victorian era i.e. 1880 - 1910 or there about's, the older ones usually exhibit a faceted pontil and a melted pigtail or unfinished on the other end. This one not in my hands yet but it's on the way, these larger Coats have become VHTF, especially with av. & in any kind of mint shape.

I also have peewee’s on the mind today.

I shot these last night, so it must be going around.

 Hard light goes through them so easily that I do not even know what to call them—cute I guess.

A little beat up but who cares?

They had to live a long life with the bigger siblings knocking them around.

Marble—On!!

Definitely machine made, from seeing the one end, we just had a discussion about sizes of Masters so "guessing" maybe Master ?? But could be foreign as well since both ends appear to end in a point.

Most of those in mint condition are fairly rare to very rare today to be found in the wild. 

I'm lucky enough to have been collecting German handmades and solitaire boards in the UK for over 30 years!

They were a lot easier to come by in flea markets and junk shops all those years ago, armed only with the Everett Grist and Paul Baumann books!

                Another "Joseph Coat" you can see one of the windows into the interior in the  second picture. I'll take some new pix later, these were taken by the person I got the mib from, my friend Terry.

A couple pix showing both the unfinished pontils. The two unfinished Pontils and bright colors both help point to a later Victorian era production date, somewhere between 1870 & 1910.
