I agree, oxblood and JABO.

I'm thinking you are confusing seams with folds. This is a swirl from Alley.

Right, I said 3/4" range because some off a 3/4" machine will be a little over and a little under.

Champ didn't have a machine to make shooters. They made nothing bigger than the new old fashioneds in the 3/4" range, and none even that big before or after that run. That info comes from Dave McCullough and 2 different factory workers.

My word, looks like a whole family of land and seas, bees, even maybe a poison bee? Lots of Germans, great score!!

I'm with Vacor. Champion didn't make them in shooter size other than the new Old Fashioneds as far as I know, and even those didn't get this big.

Champion here.

Looks like a funky Master.

SMM only had a 5/8" machine all along until just recently, I was just at his shop a few days ago and saw his first successful run of 3/4" marbles. They were made less than a month ago. Before that they were all done on a 5/8" machine and 9/16" is easily in the range of what would come off that machine.

Yes, Vitro cosmic rainbow. I like these types a lot.

I agree with a Vitro Conqueror type.

I agree with SMM.

It's a Japanese Mushroom type IMO.

JABO.

Don't worry, we all scratch our heads sometimes no matter how long we've been collecting. This one is tough. I lean Vitro with the one straight and one curved seam.

Yes you are! Nailed it.

No, I showed Ron the furnace burners I found and that's it. We rode through the mountains on his side-by-side today and talked marbles, took my muddy boots out of the car and put them in the sun to dry along with the boards I got from the factory. It was an easy restful day, I slept until after noon lol. 13 hours to drive up here, then 3 days digging in the muck and I was tired. Tomorrow I think we'll be cutting trees, so who knows when I'll wash them but I like to be busy so it's all good.

It was good meeting you and digging with you. Thanks for hanging back when I was stuck in the mud, I was afraid I was about to get stuck at Cairo with no cell signal for the night lol. Got to get the toyota to the dealer and see what went wrong, the cruise never worked after that and the engine light stayed on the whole way back to Ron's.

Tell me how a marble comes from the furnace cutters with only one seam? Impossible... swirl, patch, clearie, solid, I don't care what it is it has two seams if it's machine made.

Even the single seam CACs, if they are machine made, they have 2 seams. It's impossible to have a one seam machine made marble except for the very first gob of glass that comes out when the tank is opened, and that is garbage because the rollers are cold, nothing is working yet. You might only see one seam, but there are two. The marble before it was cut off, there's the one seam, and the cut where the marble in question was made, that's the other. This has both seams at the same place because the ingot folded on itself.

Every machine made marble has 2 seams.
