Steph Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I started to say flame. But now I've decided that first view is four fingers and a thumb. A thumb with a pointy nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeperman Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Very cool Winnie! I have had this shooter for quite some time, always thought it was Alley but the blue threw me off a little. Finally got confirmation of Alley and without the blue it would be a Sweet Baby Gray, I will just call it killer. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 That last one is amazing. I rather like that inset measurement on your pictures; good idea. I'm going to give that a try down the road, if you don't mind. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Wow, you have quite a collection of extraordinary alleys Paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks to the both of you! Go for it John, I started doing it for some of my shooters not only so that folks can know the size when I forget to add it but so I don't have to find the calipers and the marble to answer a question. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I've measured so many marbles now, that I can actually typically guess, within some shocking level of precision, the size of a marble just by holding it. I'm sure many marble collectors can do the same trick; and not bragging either...it's just an interesting window into that eery 'knowing' that a ton of experience can bring to anything. I couldn't do the same trick with just any object, but with marbles, after lots and lots of experience, apparently now, I just know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yep, if I have it in front of me it is much the same. It is when it is back in the case or where ever and I post a pic, someone always asks, that's when I can be sure I remember that particular marble correctly.

My memory of their size is only a generalized size class typically. When it counts, I always read the dial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Home from the Vegas show and made a few fun finds. I was mainly after Alley so I figure I will post them here. Might take me a few days to do all the pics but here is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
