    What would it be called?

    Size is around 1". White base with blue. It had a striped Pelt look to me at the cut mark. Context wise - it was part of an original untouched group that was all CA's - a few Akro's, fewer Pelts, and some German handmade glass. See this post: Christensen Agates from the group

    A new friend of mine brought in his grandpa's marbles for me to look at. You hear this so often....usually it is a group of cats with all MK's and some Vitros. This time the group was all CA's with some Akro's, Pelts, and a few German handmade glass.

    I was finally able to make some marbles again recently. I think these turned out pretty nice. They all measure right around 1". All were hand gathered and formed on the Miller marble machine.

    Decided to offer a small group of 5 graduated in size. 13/16", 3/4", 11/16", 21/32", and 5/8". Brian's ebay auction.. I had to relist this item because there was an error with my paypal address for some reason......

    I spent two days this week cleaning the rollers on the Miller machine. This made a big difference on the surface finish! So many ideas...not enough time!

    Yes on the gold making the ruby pink color. The other colors are all from silver.
  15. akronmarbles
    These are all colored with gold & silver.

    On a lighter note....the title of this thread is cracking me up.

    A few from yesterday. I have pretty much removed the shear marks.

    It does say "patent applied for". I imagine it just fell into the crack when someone was working on the machine. I wish I had a parts washer - there is so much grease and oil with the glass bits - solvent is the only way to see what is in my bowl of goop. I also found a small chain link. Probably part of a glass feeder device.

    The marble machine metal castings have a slot and void built into them. I was cleaning out the slot and this popped out...a mens buckle along with a bunch of glass pieces. What Pelts would these be? Anyone recognize the buckle, age, etc?

    Some spheres from today....figuring out how to get nice cut lines.
  22. akronmarbles
    I just uploaded it...Thanks Steph :--)

    Had an hour to experiment today. Not bad for only my second try at it. These are made from my personal recipe silver opal & oxblood. Getting the cut lines to smooth out still needs some work.

    This is the largest MFC Cornelian that I know of - came from MFC employee Harry Heintzelman. I cannot remember exact size but seem to remember that it was around 1.5". At the factory site I only found 7/8".
  25. akronmarbles
    That looks interesting - kind of what I have already been doing
