Sorry for making you repeat yourself and I understand........pretty cool video and not what I expected! I don't have a surface gage but wonder how much surface deviation in some of the euro's or jolly's?

Thanks John....

But......I would imagine the PeeWee machine(s) sat just as much, if not more, than a 3/4" plus machine(s). Can't recall any of my PeeWee's with OP. Without knowing jack sh*t, I always thought OP was do to poor glass cause it seems to be more prevalent in foreign marbles with the exception of the jolly roger's you had pointed out.

I have had many 1" plus european sparklers and I can't remember seeing any without a certain level orange peel. Also, I have had many of the smaller 5/8" plus without a trace of OP. If it was a temperature thing of rollers vs glass, why would it be so consistent? Were the 1" er's made in short runs.....short enough that the rollers never made it to a temp to alleviate OP? If it's a roller condition issue....did most companies rework them after sitting idle? Why is the it the larger marblest have OP more often?

Maybe I'll just punt..............................................from Cairo Novelty.

I'm not snickering.....my new name around the house is Poppie!

Way too technical for me. Sorry, it starts taking the fun out of it when I have to think too hard(LOL)

So, says they guy that pulls out a high magnification scope studying micro-scratches on the surface of a toy marble in the effort to collect forensic evidence to validate the genesis of said marble?

Now that's funny, right there!

I have also seen fused glass come out of a kiln that got an orange peel texture.

Make sure you're not looking at devitrification.

Either funny or I'm at the starting gate of elderly urinary incontinence! mon

I luv the snow...it's magical how quiet and beautiful it becomes! I was in Yellowstone with a hiking company and my sibs at the end of August. What a great place...enjoy! mon

This is the way it came to me. The red drop cloth is from the seller. It didn't take whatever happened to it very well. Thanks for the kind word and bee, send me an offer if you like & I can post more pics. mon

You are the captain of your ship for sure. I like the names for the reason you explained so well! mon

Just add the makers name and the image is defined. mon

Wow....that's what I have to look forward to in the near future.....gonna have to trim/chainsaw my eyebrows! Plus, and I'll need it....pot will be legal!!

nice metal....I felt I had to say that! lol mon

Thanks.......are some these rainbo's, tweeners or nlr?

Dun no? They came from a non collector and all are pelts. They said they were part of an estate willed to them. I received the box and it was smashed with a tare running across the bottom of the top.

Steph, I think you asked to see these sometime back..

Hot!

you should see me in my pink halter top and matching coolots! mon

they wouldn't leave if u just quit fibbin

RIGHT!!

This one is 4.75" and I use it as a bocce ball.

THE EXOTICS ARE REAL! mon

disclaimer: I can call them "exotics" because we know the "experts or serious CAC collectors" never referred to them as "exotics" right?

No ones in the middle, beginning or end of anything from my stance. No one made me buy or sell or not buy some more of these so, not bummed. It's sad to me that honesty and clarity has a very back seat in this hobby...christ...If I missed it, sorry......but if I knew that you meet the cousin of the back-moe opor-ator that dug these up......I would have given my stamp of approval long ago! Geez people, don't hold out on this kind of very valuable info! mon

lol! mon

That you did, mig! Sometimes, I think you are so nice that you may error on the correct side and spare the feelings of others. That's why I like you.....you possess a trait I desire more of! I would trust all that you tell me unless I knew better and gave you the proof.....galen, not so much! mon
