Some of the info they cite is wrong too - particularly the date and location of the first American marble company.
-
Good stuff, Sherry. You know, we have a new subforum for these types of documents now, thanks to Jason and Steph!
-
Yup, it's a Vacor.
-
It's a white base. And I am not sure where you got the info you showed but I am pretty certain Ravenswood did not make any 1" marbles.

-
More likely Akro, I think.
-
Not sure about a slag, it might be a transparent swirl of some sort. Your first pic has the best focus and comparing it to the others, it seems you may want to get just a little farther away from the marble to get a good pic.
-
Good eye, Art. There are a few two colors in there.
-
I didn't think marbles dated - they're inanimate objects. 😁 But a good place to start looking for manufacturing dates is in the "Timeline" threads in Steph's Study Hall. 🙂
-
Just a tip - to get the most accurate measurement you need to move the marble away from the ruler part of the caliper. This reading is probably about 2 mm shy of reality.

There is so much good stuff in the archives. A lot of it deserves a bump once in a while, so thanks, they are really sweet agates!
-
Good to know about the size trait, Roberto - thanks!
-
I hope you'll share similar pics once it greens up - I imagine it'll be pretty nice!
-
Yes, and badly damaged. It almost looks like it might have been glued back together after fracturing in half.
-
Maybe CAC but I think likely another German.
-
Roberto's got it.
-
I agree with Roberto.
-
The typical old ones have a patch and two equatorial ribbons so the poles are different colors. The new ones just have two equatorial ribbons so the poles are the same color.
-
It looks like it's been turned into a bonsai by vines.
-
I like that idea, Rick.
-
This is a super cool photo, Tommy - totally otherworldly. The mibs ain't bad either!
-
Well, if that's the case, I sure hope they poop marbles too!
-
Very nice, Rick. That looks like a super fun place to hang out and putz around. The bottle fence is cool!
