    CAC Slag?

    The presence of both amber and maroon is interesting but I'm _guessing_ it was part of a slag run and the two separate colors were unintentional.

    CAC Slag?

    I'm leaning toward slag. Electric should have a neon-looking thing going. Not aware of this dark color being associated with "electric".
  5. That may be the first time I've seen a so-called Phantom Conqueror being said to not be a real Conqueror. I'm not going to adopt that interpretation. IMHO they are all Conquerors.
  6. Phantom Conqueror is a sexy sounding name, but I don't use it. I don't know how many strings are needed how they need to be distributed to earn the name "Phantom". I stick with Conqueror for all of them.
  7. When I see a Pelty marble which has two colors of ribbons but not a flip-flop, _that_ is when I start thinking Kokomo. When people try to turn perfectly pelty bubbly glass into Koko just because it's bubbly, I roll my eyes. But no two ribbon colors with no flip-flop? That's when I want to start saying Koko for what everyone else thinks is Pelt. Feel free to roll your eyes.
  8. That's cool in lots of ways! Right down to the " 'n " in place of "and" in a 72-year-old professional letter!
  9. My first thought is "yes" but I see what's holding you back.
  10. Will be interesting to see what shape they have when they come out of the rock tumbler.
  11. Thank you, Jane!!!!!! Priceless part of this strange saga.

  13. Saw a video compilation on Facebook of pieces like this from David Scott. Trying to find the YMCA segment of it on YouTube. In the meantime, here's a start.
  14. More views of the center one?

    As Chad's MSCA snippet indicated it's _one_ of the names Akro used. (Laughs quietly at the MSCA's ironically erroneous "Aces with fluorescent base glass" reference.) A page from an Akro circular. This is from a circular which featured "The New Akro Carnelian". But it recycled this old "The Akro Line Is Complete" section which showed up in earlier ads. (So it is also amusing and ironic.)
  16. Whoa! I was certain I had posted this late last night. But here the editor says I only had a draft. Sorry!

    Right. The clear base with colored ribbons were Spirals to Akro. Calling it snake lets you include the yellow ones too, so that's cool ... whatever Akro called them. Funny aside, in the 1980's some prominent people were calling all corks spirals. So I'm still not sure when the name "corkscrew" came into marble collectors' lexicon.
