I traded for these. The back right might be polished. All the rest have original surfaces. The front center reminds me of bubble gum

Galen, ever see one this big? Brian said he had one in the same colors in 7/8” at some point but sold it. Must have been the same time frame....

In the first post you can see frit hanging off of my pieces. The frit is not melted in I should say.

Picked these up in Cambridge as well. I usually Don’t collect these, but I was able to acquire them via trade. The blue based one is translucent and reminds me of bubble gum. The confetti is 1 3/16”. The speckled one I’m told is htf. The lutz in the back is lavender base and has ribbons of lutz inside when back lit. Cool stuff!

Nothing? What if I told you it was 15/16”? 🤫

Picked up a new cyclone at the Cambridge marble show over the weekend. It’s a little beat up but I really like it. The clear base glass has that faint glow with a black light just like my other cyclones. It’s a keeper for sure for me at least. It’s really dark purple I guess not black to be technical. What do you guys think? Craig

From the recent cambridge show. Straight out of the ground from the old factory site ca. 1970 dug

That’s a bummer. He did fantastic work and was a real pleasure to talk with. He will be missed..

So Sorry to hear that Ric, nothing can replace that spot in your heart.

had you come to canton you could have seen two cases full. she brings them every year

they make peewee guineas. my friends wife only collects cac peewees. she has those, swirls and slags.....

Here are a few pics from the show. I always think I take more than I do. Sorry no close ups. A few pics from Brian Graham’s place. We did a little field trip and saw the Miller machine in action. Pretty cool stuff!

The show was this afternoon. The week of trading started last Wednesday

I found that in 1894 the King used to get not only his hair but his beard trimmed at an established called the “lions mane”. This sulphide was given to commemorate his first public appearance from his normal sequestered lifestyle. The lion is holding a barbers pole And the elevated whimsical tail represents this uplifting event in the lives of the common folk. This event changed history. Price:$6000 buy it now (this is my fake eBay listing)

I think he is wearing a coat

Better pics

Not much of a handmade guy but picked a few rarer figure yesterday. A lion, the number 1, two eagles, a child reading a book, and a lion figure standing up holding a twisted pole. What figure is that?? Is a royalty thing or maybe from folklore or a children’s book? Any ideas? Thanks! Craig

Excellent stuff!

John, What great information, thanks again for all of your effort! Do you know what kind of white glass was used?? It lights up under uv light as classic cac glass does. That’s what led me to buy this. It’s actully a great example to study. Beautiful in its own right. Everything adds up as you have stated. Craig

There is a concentric ring around the indentation. Like it was sitting on a finish washer. The whole surface is mottled like an orange peel. That area might be slightly more mottled or bubbly but nothing greatly obvious

John, I was reading back through this and realized I never got those pics for you. You can see the circular indentation in the pics, any ideas? Craig

Great start to your collection. Well done. The blue one is killer with the different color tips

First one doesn’t look like cac to me, more alley. Second is a great alley that people used to think was cac. They are confusing. I wouldnt Be mad at the seller. It happens. Hopefully you got it inexpensively as most cac collectors would know its alley

Well, here are six dug ones I have In the top left.....

The original post is a cac. They were originally bought from a man who lives in cambridge. The one I got looks like a snotty with blue....the construction is correct and I’m happy with mine. I saw all five or six in hand. Two were pretty out of round.
