Not bad for $10. A very minty Indian Blanket Cork, a batch of Corals, a set of red/white Corks, and lots of patches and swirls, for which the pic shows a few. These days any find in the wild is great. ... Roger Back to top Ponkochan Site Admin Joined: 03 Aug 2007 Posts: 2627 Location: Southeast Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:27 am    Post subject: Great find! It's very "marble" dry around here right now. I'd love to even find some nice "cats" at a yard sale for that money! _________________ Lizzy Back to top tankgrrl29 Moderator Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 2824 Location: In the Study, with Miss Scarlet and the rope Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 9:15 am    Post subject: i really like that yellow & red patch! nice shopping Back to top orbboy Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 217 Location: Ontario, Canada Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 5:20 pm    Post subject: Wow an Indian Blanket here in the wild is a total score.

I see the black now, but thought the indian needed to be in the middle of the blanket.

At first I also thought it was a deep red transparent base. ...

I think that's just the more desired examples that have the yellow on each side. They are harder to find in sizes other than the dug size of 13/16" or so. This one is a bit thin on one side, but that can be excused as it is only a little over 5/8".
