Title says it all.
Looking for and will purchase.
If you know you know.
In fact, if I may be Frank, that’s how I met @dizzo

Yarbles were before dizzoballs. I started making them when the other guy stopped.

Yep, I had a golden rok. The yarbles we’re glass counterweights shaped like mushrooms. Very ahead of the time. I believe the wife made the glass.

I now remember this! I think Need401k had a gold Rok on his BST for a while on YYN… or was that you @Grendel?

Not me. I got mine back in the Nation days. They came in a metal box with a large window on the cover. Good times.
