Pretty cool, don't recall seeing too many of this type, in this size

lol, I guess they are all food-related names aren't they. Thanks for clearing it up about butterscotch swirls vs. caramel swirls.

Yeah, 1 more vote for caramel. The ones I was wracking my brains about are more of a banded opaque or something

not seeing a mist here?

Does this mean CAC didn't make a yellow like this, or they didn't make a yellow that glowed like this?

Venison summer sausage is some of the best I've ever had.

I agree not a gooseberry, or cornhusk. Not so sure about caramel swirl either. Thought those were the opaque custard base with the reddish/brown stripes.

What about the Foreign slags, did any of them have the Uranium glow?

Does "Vaseline" refer to the color of the glass or does it need to glow as well? Largest I could find is 15/16"+ From what I've seen (very limited sample group) CAC slags actually have more of an orange hue under UV

Might not jive with popular opinion but why not "awesome cane-cut German marble"? Any Mica? What I find most interesting about these types is the color palette, lack of core, and construction. Interesting (to me anyways) when compared to those hand gathered/single pontil marbles previously called transitionals/Leightons etc.

Nice group

Pic 4 in the OP gives me the non- USA vibe?

If you focus on vintage German marbles, there are some pretty legit traits I see on this one and wouldn't hesitate. To answer the original question, I think it falls into the general onionskin category more than anything else. Calling a cane-cut marble a 'one-off' is a bit of a misnomer but I get the gist of Alan's comment (and value his opinion).

Similar colors to most of the leaves around here

Maybe related?

Ric, have you considered Master or Akro on the top left? Nice group btw

Just had a funny thought about a standard door that opened and shut at random, compared to a revolving door which seems a bit more predictable if it's timed right. And no, you wouldn't want to be that guy to try holding open a revolving door

Wow, certainly wouldn't expect that from the original cullet pic. Turned out nice though. Great job

Base glass looks a bit milky. Sometimes backlighting it will help identify if there is a pole to pole construction which, along with pontils you'd normally expect on a handmade. Sure is a bright green

Had a great time watching it last night! first thought we were going to be clouded-out but the clouds broke just in time for the latter half of the eclipse, which lasted a lot longer than expected. Spectacular sights.

Is it a pontil in 1st pic that makes you think handmade? Doesn't really look like a pontil?

There is a Restoration Q&A section on this board that might have his most recent contact info. Last I heard he was still in the game

If you can't sleep in anticipation of another work week, and nothing good on TV, why not check out the Supermoon this Sunday?!? But wait, there's more... it's also going to be a total lunar eclipse. Yes, that's right folks, this offer won't last. In fact, you won't see another total lunar eclipse until 2018... Starts around 10pm EST this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Contributions can be made in the form of a 'howl at the moon', and there will probably be some odd caterwauling as well. Have fun

Slice of Zucchini bread. Good way to get your greens
