If there was anyone that had one, it would be you. Thank you for sharing!

 If I recall correctly, he had a monkey face, too. True?

How early would you say the momentum started for contemporary marbles? 1995? Sooner?

Help me with the makers in your picture. Fritz Lauenstein? Gerry Coleman? Hot House Glass? John Hamon Miller? Geoffrey Beetem? Harry Besett? Others?

Yes - he had a Monkey Man.  He also did a few with faces on both sides.

Its hard to say where the momentum started in time.  Possibly the intersection of Matthews, Beetem, Salazar, Davis, Jody Fine, Rolf Wald and a number of torch artists like JHM, Chuck Pound etc.  Of course that is simply my single exposure.  (Apologies for those I admire and did not list from memory).

You called the artists very, very well.

@Alan Somewhere in this house I have a Gerry Colman VHS tape on making marbles. Sadly, I have no VHS player. Oh, the irony!
