Kewl. That bold yellow is not a shade I was familiar with on those.

I also heard that about lime and Barberton.

If RD is around maybe he can tell us more ....

Of course mon knows what a Vitro Conqueror is.

.... but it still looks like a Conqueror to me, not a Jabo.

neat ones

So this sounds like a good time to ask about what kinds of tight corks people have seen.

classics

No idea on what Englishies might be?

From 1960, "tolley", the name for the shooter.

This page says the name of the game played at Tinsley Green is Ring Taw.

Current list: alleys, bloodies, bullseyes, crokers, Englishies, glassies,

halfies, houses, mibbs, miggs, milkies, peewees, pimples,

pures, reallies, steelies, tolley

Those are some nice ones, Bo.

Here are some Barberton marbles Road Dog posted a long time ago.

Is that exotic?

No, don't hit me!

I'm serious! It's wild.

Cool. I don't think many of those escaped back in the days when kids actually needed their marbles to be round.

It's lovely. What is it?

Edit: Ah ... I just read the name of the image.

Hi! That's very cool. Would love to hear anything you know about Ravenswood and its marbles.

Yes.

I didn't mean to say that Akro was the only one who made it intentionally.

I just meant that some people accidentally produced what others made on purpose.

I think that others accidentally made what Akro made on purpose. Copper-based ingredients were used for oxblood and they were used for glass of other colors.

I have blue based cage style cats. (Thanks BJ)

Doh!

How could I not have even come close to thinking of that?!

To me it looks like copper-based red glass -- the kind which may show with greater frequency in aqua glass.

I think copper or cupric oxide or whatever the right term is, was used in making the green glass and it manifested itself as what we call oxblood on Akros.

Sorry, Hansel, I think those links and pix are gone for real.

By George, I think you've got it!
