    Did you just knock us back to square one??? I have a group of 7 moonie based blue corks that I bought in a large lot. The only “same-run” group in the lot, they are all left-twist.

    Excellent info, thank you!! how did this timing fit into the freese adaptation? Few corks have “eyelashes”, correct? also, while we are down here… what was the production timeframe for slags, and was it affected by the start of corkscrews? I imagine them being made on different machines(kilns).

    I get all 3 on my iPhone 10.

    Agreed, what have you found in your boxes? I only have AKRO game marbles boxes…🤣

    So, if the twist alternated, would you expect a 50/50 split in the 100 count boxes for each color combo? has anyone looked at this in original boxes?

    Managed to find a 19/32” purple “chevron” with reversed poles. Someone told me Peltier years ago, forgot who it was.

    Are they all the same twist🤔

    Oddball 9/16” orange/grey cork. Probably dug? I don’t see this as a desirable commercial mib, back in the day.

    Hood canal weather, been raining all day. Good for air quality👍

    Do you have a pic? I had a large slag “chevron” that exhibited that exact condition, it now is in Dani and Ernie’s collection. Swapped it for a Winchester knife…🤔 not sure if I have a pic of it or not, been a few years.

    Now that makes a lot of sense!!!

    Do you have anything on the “double” feed system the might produce both left and right twist mibs?

    Greatly appreciated buddy!!!

    Thanks for the thought! Probably 95% of my collections was found in the wild. I enjoy the antique shops and thrift stores, and occasional estate sale. Our local sales typically post a sign in log at 6AM in the front door, in order to get inside at 9AM. Have to stay in line, and no signing for friends to cut in line. I’m just not that driven…

    I saw part of this regarding Blenko.

    Still pondering it myself, thanks buddy.

    Would love to find some old footage of the process they used. I’m sure there are a bunch of old 8mm spools laying around in someone’s attic?

    They came in several colors. http://blenkocollectors.com/specialtylinepages/blenkocollcolorwilliamsburg.htm

    It also seems to be independent of size. Here is a pic of some 1”, both left and right.

    Ron, do you have a video of the shear plate in operation?
  22. schmoozer
    👍👍👍
  23. schmoozer
    I need to ponder that one🤔🤔🤔
  24. schmoozer
    Yes, Blenko made for Williamsburg Glass. They had the contract until 1966, I think. http://www.blenkoproject.org/1966 end of the catalog. My examples…
