sling shot ammo?

I believe so....don't have in hand yet.

such a thing as a white angel? Same tannish base with white and yellow ribbons.

I thought so.......any CAC's with that base color?

nice pic cheese! shows the difference in the red well...kinda blurry!

I'm not Galen but here are some

but thought it was cool and cheap enough........maybe someone here would want it! Could even change out the marbles! http://www.ebay.com/itm/PICTURE-FRAME-ALUMINUM-REDDISH-MARBLES-/171574043334?pt=Photo_Frames_Display&hash=item27f29c22c6

Thanks, what size range have you seen for that type....I think they or bird cages are my favorite? If you only had time to grab one and run what would it be and why? How long have you been collecting and did you get most of these at one time? An amazing collection........case is great also!

on this one? Odd looking ................ http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAC-CHRISTENSEN-21-32-034-OPEN-PANEL-GUINEA-MARBLE-SINGLE-SEAM-BLUE-BASE-/121550573809?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=EMBbtwccrxhs3UFZ8iW%252FEC%252BdjzQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Winnie.....I'm learning to speak or ask what I feel knowing at best, only a few may respond.....its good enough for me and not my problem....I have harmed no one enough to be ignored. As far as the nice slag you show, I'm up in the air on most all of the slags and their origin...except pelts. I want to see what others say and why.

Geez whizz.........how big are those lightning strikes and could you post a few more pics of them?

I wanted his hearse!

Are those from the Joker runs or DAS? Very, very nice! lol Good to hear the change of heart.......now give me 5 our father's and 6 hail mary's!

Personal Foul Ruffing The Poster...me! lol "just saying" was something Galen used long ago and was bounced around in fun. I thought I would see if it would take life again.....it did and by Galen..rotflmao

Page 87 of Wadsworth's testimony talks about a MFC machine Mr. Stahl borrowed and states he did not know that it was to be used in connection with that Christensen Agate Company. Maybe they returned it and never used it .....still, why would you be hand gathering marbles in the 1930's? Maybe newbies cut their teeth on this and learned more about glass before running a machine.

How big was this dig ........I remember seeing somewhere pics of a couple of small trenches in a back yard...but could be wrong. If Ann's dates of 30 or 31 for the first really commercial usage of selenium red glass, with the stuff CAC was making, do you think they would be hand gathering red slags? Did they have one machine or stick money into making/buying more 2 wheelers......just saying

PFRTP!

I hope this post does not distract from 1alleynut's post. Hope you get replies and would like to see pics of that MFC lot. Ann's post caught me by surprise and I just assumed they made marbles at Payne. Mig's info states that in April, 1927 CAC was close to starting up and Marblealan's site claims that CAC moved to Cambridge in 1927. Any ephemera for Payne?

I think that the super straight patch at both end leaves peltier out and Akro or Vitro in. I say Vitro because of the patch length being half of the marble is like some I've have found there.

You catch them from shore? Looks like a fun time and what a view!

Well I have a few more if you wants some fun....most are oils.

Thanks Ann! Do you believe hand gathered slags were being made in Cambridge because by 1927 they left Payne? Were red slags shards ever found at Payne and if so, it would predate H. Hellmers credit. By 1930-1931 they had 2 to 3 years, along with all the other types, to make all these red slags with 9 & tails before closing. Still talking to myself...lol That straight cut line confuses me, in that.......how would anyone do it differently than MFC did with a glob of glass at the end of a punty?

Looks like a Vitro to me.

godown, I really like that one and it does look like cut lines at both ends!
