Here is 1 at 1”, Dani thought it is an early AKRO.

“Ballast”, love the term!!! Also shorter to type than “slingshot ammo”.

Ok, did some thinking on this from an engineering aspect. I have a BSME (1985), and have specialized in forensic analysis for 20+ years. I am a Reaganite….”Trust but verify”. the rollers are synchronized via direct gearing, so how can they produce an “incorrect spin”? If one both rollers spin in the same direction, they would destroy themselves? They are designed to mesh together, if both reversed direction, the marbles would not travel down the incline but try to climb up into the incoming stream, resulting in a large glob of Milton glass. appreciating your response… Brad

It is a roll-down lockable type-tray cabinet by Hamilton, with slanted trays. It can hold roughly 1,800 5/8”+- mibs. I always have initial trouble spending $$$ for display cabinets for my collectibles. Until I realize the cost could be a fraction of the value of a single item. That changes my attitude quickly, plus the fact that the display itself has collectible value. WIN-WIN situation.

Ron, Thank you for the clarification, I have never heard that before. I do not actively collect Jabo or DAS, need to do some research.

So, how do you explain the rams-head slags if there was no spinner cup?

Good point on spinner cups. Here is a big slag with the “rams head” pattern.

Man after my own heart, a searcher!

My “halfway house” for slags.

1”+ Big ugly… just realized it has the “rams head” pattern

Single seams

Understood, but that implies they intentionally shifted between right/left. Why would they want to do that? I don’t think “equity” was a thing back then🤣🤣🤣 the tire wear analogy seems a stretch maybe? 🤔
