.... Is the Dan you hunted with the former Raphis from here? If so hows he doing?

He is not human. He is a robot machine. So it's really not fair to compete or compare ourselves with robots, eh ? :hornetsnest:

Very nice group of finds Jamflicker! Before I open one of your posts now, I’m wondering how many cool marbles you found and have included in the pics. Once again you did not disappoint. Great job... nice photos!

Thanks and love finding the marbles. This is the prime season as the wind and rain clears the top layer in some of the lots exposing marbles

Yep, you are right, looks like the "Owens ring" (bottle machine mark) on the underside.

Never knew about Owens rings! Super interesting, thanks for bringing that to light.

Just an FYI, Michael Owens invented and patented the first practical automatic bottle making machine, that eventually put a lot of glass blowers out of work. 1903 is the date given for when it began to be accepted, and it took about 10-15 years to pretty much take over the bottle making business. The Owens-Illinois Glass Company (with branches around the USA) was formed from the Owens Bottle Company and the Illinois Glass Company in 1929. They were the largest producers of bottles in the United States.

A friend found the exact bottle online that I found thanks to your leads.
