Fire1981 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 BT was an amazing Marble Guru. He shared pics of VVVVHTF marbles. I’m not kidding. He also made marbles. Does anyone know if he’s still with us🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what it was called though so I can't look it up on the Internet Archive. EDIT: Apparently rumors of Bill Tow's death have been greatly exaggerated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 17 Author Report Share Posted October 17 Thank you so much 🐝 for letting me know this. He told me it was simple. He loved CACs and PELTs. I think his seams really reflects the interest in CACs. His color combos leaned more towards Pelts. Here are a few of his marbles. These are some of his Caterpillars 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Thursday at 02:48 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:48 AM I think that means even though BT has passed but he still is alive in his marbles. Or am I wrong 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Thursday at 03:39 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:39 AM I don't know what to believe. Maybe 2008 because of his health issues. I am really confused because it's 2024. 16 years later? It would be awesome to see him posting all of his 4 figure marbles again. His CAC's are flat out Mind Blowing. He was or is one of the best Marble Photographers as well🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted Thursday at 05:21 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:21 AM Seriously ! He could barely walk in 2004 or 2006. That was the last time I saw him. IowaMarble ? Could you share some more of the information you have about BT. This is taking longer than it should be🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Thursday at 07:33 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:33 AM It’s pretty simple. All of the Established Collectors I’ve met are gone. There was just a handful and I was lucky to meet them. 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Marbles Posted Thursday at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:21 PM Bill Tow is alive and well. 🙂 When it comes to making marbles, he came up with a really neat construction technique that became his signature style. Bill spent hours photographing marbles. His macro skills are unmatched. Bill turned those lovely photos into awesome t-shirt graphics. Still wear mine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend stopping by and engaging his mind. 🧠 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my friend--sometimes I would rather blow some snow out of the driveway😁--or even mow the grass👇. ( not pick weeds out of the garden though) Thanks for stepping in here. Marble--On!!
