  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. I have never heard a thing about CAC using the MFC style rounding machines. Pretty sure the Auger style were in place at Peltier and Akro before CAC started pumping out marbles. They were used for hand gathered marbles at Akro and Peltier

    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.

  4. 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

  5. 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?

  6. 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?
