    Nice find. Flowers in the garden type digging or was it an old outhouse dig (or something)

    Ann, I see what you mean along with pic #3 and Ric's comments. Good discussion all

    Could be what I'm seeing as the amber/gray/ivory part in your marble is actually clear ? Here area a couple oxblood patches with similar amber/gray/ivory and a bit of clear (of course not as swirly). Nice marble and you might be correct the alien spaceship landed somewhere in between and I agree it's usually seen with blue or green

    I'd go with Akro based on pic 4. Bold ox with the opaque white in that view. The amber/gray/ivory I think is part of the oxblood just getting started or ending

    Around 7/8 to 1"
  6. I'llhavethat1
    A few cane-cut slags
  7. I'llhavethat1
    Some older (more German) slags

    I'd go with Pelt top right in post #12, and maybe post #9. Rest look like Marble King maybe (or something other than Pelt or Akro)? Just my guess, and of course I haven't seen them all
  9. I'llhavethat1
    Are they not Marble King?

    If you mean 3rd edition, plate 338 is a slightly different angle. not much, but same marble (just happened to have the book beside me and got to flipping through the pages).

    Handgathered variety, others welcome
  12. I'llhavethat1
    I have a headless elephant around somewhere
  13. I'llhavethat1
    odd assortment but hey! here's a couple more
  14. I'llhavethat1
    So is it safe to say nobody around here has examples of these in original packaging? And the two color opaque handgathered examples as shown are the only type this company made (or would it make sense they made slags, and others etc...)
  15. I'llhavethat1
    Awesome
  16. I'llhavethat1
    good looking dogs!
  17. I'llhavethat1
    Agreed, nice one Winnie Geordies, any pics of yours without the torch?
  18. I'llhavethat1
    Still working on it (sorry for the glare)
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Nice. Interestingly the same number of the only pool ball I have on my shelf of miscellaneous stuff.
  20. I'llhavethat1
    Cool group, nice pics
  21. I'llhavethat1
    Quite possible. Quality control sometimes calls for things other than aesthetics. ie: the marble needs to be round, so it rolls. And if it's chipped or damaged in production they probably wouldn't spend the time to finish it/ship it/etc. Don't get me wrong I think the colors and patterns are beautiful. Also the group of three look awesome together
  22. I'llhavethat1
    Nice. Is there any Mica?
  23. I'llhavethat1
    To me these examples look like they didn't pass muster at the time (for roundness or quality) and probably got junked. They really are pretty though
  24. I'llhavethat1
    I think it all depends on how well the 'attempt' went. Surely there was some type of quality control so if the first-off cane looked half decent and was reasonably round they would take the time to grind the pontil and finish it off. If it was terribly out of round or had debris/scorch mark etc it would get junked.

    Going back to the first picture, in the first post, on the platform is there any reason you couldn't have a trough (connecting the holes) or multiple troughs (leading up to each hole) instead of just a hole?
