Twist & š

This unusual faceted pontil onion is my avatar on another board, but pics just donāt 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 itās 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 7/8ā(+/-) mint black clam is still on my bucket list

A forced sale had to be awful. I didnāt sell anything by choice for many years, but once I got started it became easier and easier. Now I have pictures (though I wish Iād taken far more!) and memoriesā¦

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 Iād be careful with those fancy Benningtons (but Iām 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 āsimmeringā spruce? OK, Iāll show myself outš«

Never have I everā¦but I can still dream!

My very late 2 cents - regardless of manufacturer itās a unique and gorgeous piece of eye candyšand I agree it is most likely an Alley, not CAC. Hang on to that one.

Thanks for this, John, Bruce is just a very special guy, and Moon Marbles should be on every collectorās bucket list of must visit marble palaces.

I wasnāt either, but she did make a convincing argumentš
-
These look to be from the same run - this one has a sizable blow out from a surfaced bubble, Iām just surprised the others didnāt.
-
Ditto - love those big seedy bubbles on this one.
-
Yep x2, and wow, that was a seedy batch!
-
Put an eye patch on that bad boy.

Greiner? Bulgarian? Reproduction greiner?

Not oxblood to my eyes either. -
āNew shooter cominā out!ā Almost 100 years ago, anyway.

X2 Slow cup syndrome lol.

X2 Vitro Superior, but Iād vote no on the oxblood.
