I'd lean towards Pelt based on those pics. And the size

getting a bit of a pelt vibe from that single pic. More angles and pics could quickly convince me otherwise

Though crossed my mind as well

Based on the pics I'd put that with my possible Pelts. In hand might be a completely different story ie: CAC or Euro

The article is a good read. Both processes described (hot punch, hollow cane) is more than you'd expect from the average "maker/hut" aiming for quantity. Thanks for the link, very interesting

no doubt a nice clambroth!

Interesting to see those types. Most of the ones I've seen pics of were more "traditional" German handmades.

Not sure if those are threads or the "seat" of a check valve. That's why I was curious about the rest of the fitting.

I saw it listed originally, figured my Wife wouldn't be too thrilled with our "new" hotplate.

What did the rest of the pipe fitting looks like, was it some sort of check valve?

Nice Germans. Good symmetry and bold colors on the first one

My first thought was cateye too, but the construction and bubbly base glass? Could be Pelt?

Nice, is it as big as it looks?

Some type of polished mineral...you can see where the voids in the geodes opened up (don't quote me on those terms)

Thanks, there are a couple Mica that slipped in there so 33 ranging from from 3/4" - 1-1/4" on that board

It was another sunny day for some slags

Been a while since I've seen an exciting "find" on eBay. This auction reminded me of the old days taking a chance on some blurry pics. Hopefully they pan out for the winning bidder (who must have seen what I saw) and will post some pics of their loot!

Strange pattern and color combo for sure

I'd go with MFC for the OP, and German for the one Fire posted

no, looks like a swirl of some type

The thin white strands in that pattern are referred to as Latticino (Latticinio, Latt). The twisted strands give the appearance of a lattice. A solid core wouldn't have the spaces between the strands. Looks tiny, what's it measure in at?

Couldn't resist the sun shining on some recently unpacked slags.

Haven't bought anything off eBay lately but I used to make similar requests for safe packing. Some sellers would do a good job, others didn't seem to give a hoot (and I'd end up mailed a box of loose marbles rolling around, with some fine busted up glass at the bottom). After all, say you're buying 100 marbles for $10 and expect the seller to spend the time and material to wrap each one individually? It can be a bit of a crap shoot. I'd always leave good feedback for the sellers that took the time.

From the pic on the nuts: 1=probably Alley 2= Alley 3=Peltier 4=Alley

Nice, I like the red and white solid core
