call me Spencer...my dad talks about when they used to find those and they used them for shooters when they played i never saw one before and was starting to believe they were just a myth but now that i have found one i know for sure they exist!

Howdy Spencer! Very Nice website,by the way. I guess I'll have to look closer when I'm around the tracks. Do you know what they were originally used for or how they came into existance? James

Nice pics Zane. Quite an assortment. Makes for some interesting viewing. I like Red Slags.

I love the Blue Bloods Dog!!! Those Leighton Marbles are nice too. Do you know Steve Olenick? He collects Navarre Leightons and has quite a few. I think my dad only has four of them.

Don't know him. I'm kinda an Island here in NC with marble collecting

WOW!

I guess you'd probably like to come up here and dig one of the early Leighton Sites? Let me know sometime if you do. I can show you where the site was but I can't find a dump yet. There has to be a dump I'd think just like all the other factories had am I correct in thinking that?
I know where the factory was here and I think my buddy Steve knows approximately where the Navarre site was. I'd love to poke around either. I'm going to try to get permission to probe and dig on and near the Steubenville Site. It's currently a vacant lot.

Have you checked out the Akron marble site about Leighton. Brian has lots of good info. He pops in here now and then. http://akronmarbles.com/james_harvey_leighton_companies.htm
