Hi from Louisville, KY!

[SF2KY]

My name is Christopher. My interest in marbles was rekindled after moving here with my boyfriend and finding that groups about my core interests (just about anything related to tech) don't really exist in this area. As part of the readjustment process (it was very much a culture shock for me, not so much for him because he's from KY), I started looking for other things to do. Eventually, I recalled my childhood interest in marbles and that led me to learn more about the history of marbles in the US, which is what sparked my current collection. My favorites from an aesthetic perspective are the ones with UV-reactive glass; being a history buff, I also have a soft spot for the ones made with irreparably broken Heisey glassware (pictured).

Welcome.  Beautiful marbles.  That's a run that I hadn't previously heard of.  Now I've read a little about it.
