I wish that Ron (wvrons) wasn't so busy with finishing up his move and had computer access at home!!! His expertise is sorely needed here. Chris, (according to Ron) "Alley,Heaton,Champion,Ravenswood,and maybe a few odd Cairo Novelty." made 'Horsehair Oxblood'. Although the thinner type that we see the most of, is usually attributed to Champion. I asked this question on LOM some months ago and Ron shared a good bit of interesting info. Here's the link. http://www.landofmarbles.com/phpbb/showthread.php?t=13140&highlight=horsehair _________________ Lizzy Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone Forum Index -> Marbles & Glass Chat All times are GMT - 4 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Marvelous Mibs----------------Marbles & Glass ChatMarble Myths & MisconceptionsPros & ConsArchivesThe LoungeThe Test Forum Welcome!----------------Community Guidelines & AnnouncementsContact the Moderators or Administrator The Collectors Corner----------------Collectors Anonymous  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
