This unusual faceted pontil onion is my avatar on another board, but pics just don’t do it justice. It came from a Running Rabbit auction nearly 25 years ago and I have yet to find another one like it. (akroarka I love the subsurface bubbles on this one!)

I will say it looks like the real deal, and if so it’s likely an old timer, batch glass made. The late Ron Shepherd was an incredible source of marble knowledge and we are all poorer for his passing, but thankfully he left us with much of it preserved: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?p=311189&hilit=Akro+black+glass#p311189

A sweet little 7/8”(+/-) mint black clam is still on my bucket list

A forced sale had to be awful. I didn’t sell anything by choice for many years, but once I got started it became easier and easier. Now I have pictures (though I wish I’d taken far more!) and memories…

They both appear to be regular pontil (rough cut off) transitionals to my old eyes. Probably Ohio made, might be Navarre on the first.

Just a suggestion - there are less permanent and disfiguring alternatives, and I’d be careful with those fancy Benningtons (but I’m partial to those, I suppose.) https://stickyaide.com/museum-putty-vs-museum-wax/ -
Chad that blue & white set is just gorgeous.

That would be my first choice.

Maybe just a ‘simmering’ spruce? OK, I’ll show myself out🫠

Never have I ever…but I can still dream!
