I just seen the discussion on "Blood alleys" as well. Can't remember where either, some nice "Destroyers" you have there Hansel.

Supposedly 99.9% of all the Indian Blankets & Superman corks were dug, especially the large examples. no direct knowledge but just what I've gathered from people who dug them ?? I know they're both inherent for having fractures in the translucent red color. I think a "so called" Indian blanket has to have opaque black ribbons to be considered an Indian Blanket ?? Here's a couple to look at, only the red is translucent. The base glass appears to be opaque yellow ?? Yours is still an outstanding mib Rick, just wondering do the darker ribbons appear to be black or amber, might just be the light in your pix ?? Another pic of the bigger of the two taken indoors showing the black and red ribbons corking around the yellow base glass.

Well Art it's not a corkscrew but it is an Akro Lemonade & 5/8ths

"Happy Akro Friday" Not positive but I think the collector name for this corkscrew is "Blood & Bones"

x2, agree w/ Ric on all

Vacor is also known to produce marbles with the iridescent shine like yours has

Yes !! they get even bigger, I really like them. Pix of a few of mine, I think the largest is .82" When I got the big one there were many larger ones but they all had heavy damage.

They look like mine, "Always' on "High Alert" ....

Agree w/ Heaton but no ox, just brown

Agree newer MK, both poles are the same.

Dug Heaton

Seen a lot of different applications for the "clawfoot & marble" i.e. stools, tables, letter openers etc ... in all different sizes, just never thought I'd see a cooking appliance application, just when I thought I'd seen it all !!

Wow !!

Seen a lot of marble related "stuff" before but never something like this. For the mibster that has everything this is something else !! LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/115234571204?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050

"Happy Thüringen Thursday"

I see Alley also

"Happy West Virginia Wednesday" I know I've posted this pic before but a favorite of mine.

....

I have nearly the twin to yours William ,only difference is 3 dolphins instead of 2. Got it from a dear Friend that lives at the coast near Seaside Ore. Says Cannon Beach which is another 50 miles down the3 coast or so ?? Almost 4" so a big piece of glass. Sorry for the blur, another freehand attempt, I guess I'll never learn ?? .

x2, Alley

Definitely Akro !!

Sure looks like an Alley to me !! A humongous one !!

Man, I just dug this out the other day, got it from a Brother of mine a couple years back, great post Rick, I was lookin for an excuse to take a pic of this one.

x2, agree, I see Akro milky
