    My vote is Vitro.
  3. A friend of a friend has a complete set of U.S. patent books from 1912 to somewhere in the 70's. He's moving and is reluctantly parting with them for about $15 apiece. If there's any particular book which you want for patents on marble machines or anything else, let me know soon so I can get you in contact before the movers arrive.
  4. Essentially solid color marbles are very hard to pin down.

    Bennington

    It's glass. Could be Asian. Benningtons are ceramic.

    At that size, i'll guess foreign. An MFC slag can reach that size, but I'm not getting an MFC feel here.

    A cutline is more or less the same as a seam. On some marbles people are more likely to say cutline (marbles such as MFCs). And sometimes I say one or the other without thinking why. I don't what to make of that cutline. Is it the only one visible?
  8. Nothing about it particularly said Vacor to me ... but since I didn't recognize it as anything else, I went to my favorite Vacor page. So, this is my guess. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=119
  9. (One reason I would not guess CAC is because of their quality control.)
  10. Oh my. At 5/8", probably not a double ingot. Probably some world class cold rolls. I would not think CAC. But what?
  11. Hey ... marbles are hard! Congratulations on your new Akro.
  12. John Denver's Greatest Hits album was part of the soundtrack of late teens and early 20's. Listening to this today.

    Interesting cut line in the last view of the left marble.

    Master?

    Might be Anacortes Vitro. I need to get a new shot of the contents of this bag. Last time I took the picture I used a scanner.
  15. That is one of the reasons I love this thread. Where else would I ever have heard that?! LOL
  16. That's quite a diverse group, and goodlookin. Thanks for sharing!
  17. I need to watch that again soon. I've been thinking of it, too.
