Here is a listing for a CAC with oxblood https://oldraremarbles.com/product/ultra-rare-cac-striped-opaque-with-oxblood/
-
I went to marblealan’s ID page, no mention of CAC producing oxblood, but no reference guide is 100% correct. I pulled this pic of an MFC green brick, not really that green, plus the hand gathered tail.

no, I won't be taking better pics...:( My little Canon Powershot is worthless for macro, not even a setting for it. I have always used it in my work, and never had too much in the way of problems. My X10 iphone does much better. So, not green, more of a muddy brown. no light passes thru it when backlit.

Will take better pics today

It looked CAC but I’ve never seen an example before, figured I was confused as usual.

This is a tough challenge, may need to break it down into category/makers…🤔 -

Here is one I found maybe 15 years ago, always been a puzzler to me. 1-3/8” with melted/sheared pontils. Extremely simple, almost the bare minimum of color to be called a German swirl. So, my unanswerable questions are why, and how did it survive?

Here is a group I bought, along with the case. I think the case is a cigar display, made for Frederick & Nelson.

Found some… and some black corks as well. I had a lot of these boxes at local antique shows for $25/box, no takers

I seem to remember someone’s girlfriend stole an expensive marble (MK watermelon?) and tried to sell it 3 booths down. The buyer recognized it and she got busted…

That was where we stayed as well. Work has pretty well fried my brain. I have done energy audits on over 400 million SF of commercial properties nationwide since then. My collecting is the only thing that can clear my thoughts and relieve my stress.

OMG, I didn’t recognize you🥴 that was a crazy time for me, thank you❤️❤️

The show was great fun, my first outing since I got divorced. I sold you a box of Vitro No. 0 game marbles there. Don’t the pics anymore, my old PC bit the dust. I’m not sure where Joe got the cullet from, he was working in Atlanta, had just starting out making marbles. We teamed up online, I flew in to Atlanta and we drove up in a van he had rented. Stopped at the Blenko factory and I bought a billet of sea green glass for him to work with. He made a big clearie for me from it, a prize piece. Flights got screwed up and I hitched a ride with someone from the show up to Columbus to fly home. I have tried several times to get there for a show but the work thing never allowed it to happen. Someday…

They present very well but I couldn’t stand it. I need to hold and caress my marbles🤣🤣🤣 my wall cases have plexiglas slides for earthquake protection (PNW), and usually get into them every day.
