Looks like a messed up pelt mcs to me. The cac with av, is what I thought were German circus. I posted a few last month. Either way I'm rich!!! Lol

Info on a seller named Greg Lewis. He was in Canton selling. If anyone has his contact info, please Pm me Thanks, Craig

33/64 lol

Did they make these in 5/8? i have ones with trans oange and yellow too

That's a rare size for cac, I would have kept it....but if you are a purist then I guess not.

Those look really "old" lol

You can use that checkerboard ceiling tile grate on the bottom, then they could be lighted from below or above

That's a great idea thanks for sharing......now get to work on finishing it lol!

I've actually emailed you quite a few times to get back together, but got no reply.......lol

Yeah! Are you in ohio? I didn't realize that was you Doug

I have seen one before, the guy who had it said it was dug. Same size. Striking combo

As the glass folded upon itself at first in the machine(like pouring out thick maple syrup on a pancake), one side would be stretched from the fold and the other would remain blotches, as the glass cooled less stretching would occur and as it got going maybe its more of a thread and continuous feed or pour causing uniformity so to speak. The folding upon itself would also account for any cobra action inside. I know i am beating a dead horse but this forum was getting stale we can discuss it over several beers in Canton lol

So if these are not cane pieces, are they pieces of a glob that didn't make it to the shears? Please explain. I have seen several of these pieces like Ann posted that are 4-5inches long. How does John make his shamrock marbles? Must be a similar process in at least a few aspects. Poke

I think they are Mark

Let the discussion begin

These are a couple new guinea pieces I just acquired. You can see how the frit is not melted completely into the matrix. It is palpable. In another shot of the clear piece in front, you can see how the frit was applied and folded upon itself making a cobra inside. Also, you ever see a guinea with just baby blue and orange?!!!! I was told that the guineas were hand cranked into a machine......maybe they rolled frit onto a gathering table first, covered with what ever colored glass and then fed into this machine??? C

Great thread! If someone wants to send me a colored sulphide i can inspect it in my slit lamp and give you results.....but it will cost you another colored sulphide lol. Craig

I just got a guinea that is stretched almost flame like on one side and spotted on the other side of the seam. I find these construction aspects interesting. I have about 80 halves of guineas, ill look them over close and see if they have any interesting characteristics. Hey is the amber base rarer than cobalt? You really don't see those. What about red based and black based? Is the black base just deep red near opaqueness

Bump for sake of awesomeness

Awesome find buddy, I guess I'll see these in canton!

unaided pics

Talk about elusive, this one is 3/4". The condition is not as good as the pics, as I put water on it so you can more easily see the colors. It is similar to a green brick, except the base is not as transparent and it is not pure green, as you can see it it more of an aqua blue. Striking in hand. Enjoy, Craig

The right looks like it says worlds fair
