I thought Atmospheres were Machine Made
bumblebee replied to Fire1981's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Mine all have dents and as-mades on them, unlike all my other Vacor marbles, so clearly something was different in the production of Atmospheres. I just assume hand-gathered and machine rounded. -
Thanks. I was about to agree with you but I posted them on the Alley FaceBook group and Chuck S. said they're CAC. Hopefully more members will chime in with their vote. 😀

5/8". They feel CAC to me but I have seen Alley chocolate brown with green before (woodland camo, or something). Also all of my CAC swirls of this type have a darker, more vivid red.

Here's two:
-
Oxblood shooters are sweet. There's a lot more deep pockets in this hobby these days so I imagine it will go way beyond show prices.
-
Is it very light like a clay marble or is it heavy and rugged? If light I assume it's just a China marble that has worn down possibly from water damage which the painted parts would have resisted.
-
I do see stuff about Akro Agate donating marbles to tourneys for sure. Like 1933 in Illinois: Edit: another from 1929
-
Another good one this time from 1925.
-
Here's another that may be syndicated/rewritten from another article, but also features more tournament info.
-
I didn't have time to describe these in detail, but they contain some good descriptions of shooting techniques and putting English on a shot.

CHRISTENSEN EXOTICS, ANOTHER GREAT VID FROM STEPHEN
bumblebee replied to Chad G.'s topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Are the exotics characteristically out of round like so many CACs? -
The American Flint was the "Official Magazine of the American Flint Glass Workers Union of North America". In the 800+ page compilation I found on Google Books, this was the only article about marble making. 1927-05--American Flint - William J. Miller's Semi-Automatic Marble Machine.pdf

Try it now. I doubled it from 75 to 150 for members and 300 for supporting members. -
Here's a lot of these that sold March 2025 for $55 on a FB group. For the nicer ones I would pay $20 each for sure.
