So....0213080 was registered on 31 January 1930 and was applied for in 1929 - so it looks real clear that the Santa Claus brand glass marble trademark is from 1929.
-
The online Japanese database only goes back in full to the 1950's....
-
0220878 is from December 1930 - probably puts 0208836 in 1929.
-
A 193,000 series Japanese trademark dates to 1926/7...so 208,000's shouldn't be that many years later.

From the pics I see a 'punty' mark on the belly. Torch or GH would do in this size range. The applied feathered colors are only on the surface like what would be made on a torch or off-hand (GH). This is just my opinions based on almost 25 years of off-hand glass blowing and torch working. I can see how the color palette screams Akro but the coincidence ends there in my mind. If the color blended through the piece like a gather of a multi colored glass would; then I might be inclined to think differently.

Looks like a torch made dog to me - need not be Akro as all of those colors have been and still are obtainable.

Better image - with handle it measures about 14.5" long.
William J. Miller was a prolific inventor of ceramic and glass making equipment.

This is the tool referred to in the court documents. Found in the MFC factory basement on 27 April 2008. There was a wooden handle on the end originally - the two pieces rusted apart. I have the handle as well. Will try to get a better photo of the entire item tomorrow.
-
MFC made no transparent red slags - red slags are made from selenium ruby glass - this was not common till the mid 1920's.

Sorry for my reply earlier - was posting with my phone and apparently something went wrong - IMHO - these are not Akron and look new to my eyes.

ground local shale stone.....there have been a few archaeological investigations by the Dept. of Interior in the neighborhood but no marbles have been found to my knowledge.

The inclusion has an Akron feel to it - what I like to refer to as Akron Blue - this same shade is found on toy marbles and ceramics produced in town.
In July of 1896 - J.H. Leighton was running the J.H. Leighton & Company in Akron - glass toy marbles was the main product. The works of the American Marble and Toy Manufacturing Company were just up the canal a few hundred yards.
Would love to see this marble in hand.....too bad there is not a great pontil photo.
The marble exhibits 'expediency' to my eyes - the inclusion with its faint ghost stamping on the edges furthers this view and makes it seem more 'mass produced' than a one-off contemporary work.

These look exactly like marbles I have made before out of scrap glass. It is easy to get the bubbles.....
His auction photos show a unique glow...I have captured a glow like this many times while photographing glass in my studio....
Not all of his picks show the glow....
Here's the auction:
Here is another pic that shows it nicely:
-
The two stoneware examples do look like Akron products.

Link to the auction?

That was a glass color that I excavated in Barberton.

Chew on this :-) Summer 1898.

Purchase marbles from 1995 Please send me pictures of [email protected]. The marbles have prožulvane on one side. One time selling at fairs. They made them in 3 Bulgarian city, one of which is glass factory Sliven – Vasil Kolarov. The marbles are similar to those in the photo.

Marbles should be colorful and reserved. For balls to 18mm diameter pay 1 lev per share, from 20 to 30 mm - 2 lev per share, from 40 to 45 mm - 4 lev per share. One time producing them in Sliven factory glass. Send ye photos [email protected] email or call on the phone.

They have replicated the process quite well. It isn’t rocket science though. You can tell they are trying to mimic oxblood with their new product.

Cane pieces look like 104 glass...

It makes sense that the 39 row is Chinese Checkers for size - probably contained all colors except solid white?
