Hello everyone~

Has anyone seen Anna Murray's pictures on the main photo page that she has asked the question "What the heck is that?" She mentioned a stamp of some kind, or number on both, but I'm baffled also. They look like clay, but not like any benngton's I have seen. Take a look see and let us know, Glenn.......... And Marlene, I looked at your Akro Agagte cork screws, just love them. I have one that is 1 & 3/8th's that is kind of a cloudy, yet almost clear in some spots and it has a perfect blue"J" on one side, then it swirls around to the back. Wish I had a camera, it's a cool marble that has my initial on it. Guess I must have lost it long ago!! LOL!!!! So here's to all us marble maniac's and all that goes with it. My Best,

Jules

Hi Gang, Had a few minutes and thought I would send a few pictures of unique items. Pewter bottle topper with a hand-made marble inside, mid 1800's child's mug with kids playing marbles, an advertising marble bag, and a couple nice sulphides.
Hope you like them.

Hello to All!!
I've been off line for 5 months. I really missed the marble club. Check out my latest blog on my Page and find out all the latest in the saga of Jules. I've gotten a few new marbles, but, alas, my camera took a turn for the worse and I am trying to get a new one. Oh and buy the way, the millefiori marbles was (get this) a large glass bead!!!!! Yes I truly am a novice and a gullible one at that. But this is who I am and I had a good laugh over it with a friend who now has it hanging on his rear view mirrow. LOL!!!! I look forward to chatting and perusing all things marbles with you all in the near future! Jules

Hello to All,

Can I just say, Glenn-Great Collection-you have some beautiful marbles!!!! Thanks Marlene for starting the Marble Collecting Club!!! It is really nice to know that there are people out there that have lots more knowledge than I do. I have been curious about marbles for awhile, there are a lot of great sites online, and I've talked with a few of the old timers. That is the best way to find out about anything I believe. If I could afford to I'd be going to some of the marble conventions and yearly show's I have been reading about. But, in reality, I am pretty busy with my property and a teenager, (Ha! Try to get anything done!) I will try to get some more pictures from my collection up. The glass rods in your pics are great!!! Where do you find stuff like that???? I have so much more to learn about marbles, so keep it coming!!
Thanks,
Jules

Hi Marlene, I wish it was a marble. It is a round AKRO piece that originally was a cigarette lighter. Still neat.
No glass canes in my collection.

Thanks
Glenn

Hi Marlene, Hope your Holidays went well. Here are some more photos. This time, some contemporary marbles, some Antique marble related items, some marble games, and just some marble stuff. If you would like to see anything special, please let me know. Remember, hand mades are my thing.

Thanks
Glenn

I spoke with author Bruce Littlefield today (Garage Sale America). He mentioned to me that on page 90 of his book he introduces Marble expert
Alan Basinet http://marblealan.com/. Alan has a cool site.......thought I would share this information with you . By the way, I have reviewed Garage Sale America in the BOOK NOOK GROUP. http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/group/booknook/forum/topics/garage-sale-america-book
