No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Target balls

I produce a 50-page newsletter for collectors of target balls, and would be happy to answer any questions regarding these targets from the late 1800s.

Many thanks, Ralph and welcome to GMB.

I know this subject has cropped up many times, and I know Frank, amongst others, has an interest in this subject.

Hi Ralph,

Welcome to the GMB. My interest in these is with regards to those produced by John Moncrieff and I include a small amount of information - including the potential wet location of many examples - and examples on my site.

Do you know of any more colours that were produced than the ones showing here?

As one of the more common varieties, has anyone done a more detailed study?

There are a couple of others that take an interest in these too. See another recent thread

and an old one (Which I see has an unresolved item in it, needs a refresh  :))
