Ron knew more about marbles than anyone I know of. He took a lot of that knowledge with him. God Bless Steven Bahr for these videos, they are worth more than I can imagine.

Stephen Bahr it would be great if you added the makers name to the marbles in this video when the video flips to a close up. I had my heatons as Ravenswood lol when Chuck is doing the red ravens side by side I got confused lol. I think it would be an easy edit and add greatly to the video as a whole. Just my .02. Which isn't worth much lol. Thanks so much for these videos though they are a wealth of knowledge. I post them to Facebook regularly on the different groups.

To my knowledge, the early way to achieve yellow was to put gold into the molten clear glass.later on yellow was obtained through other means of mixing chemicals and different substances.thus making yellow glass was not cost effective until later unless a batch of yellow scrap was found.just based on a couple of glass books I have read.including the art of glass

But, that has been way harder than I ever thought it'd be! Still to this day, I go in & change them out from time to time, especially after watching these videos!

One thing about the red rose vs raven : the base glass on the rose is a solid opaque glass. Ravens have more texture in the base, and have more swirl coverage in general
