I'm almost sure it's a Pelt Dragon, still the swirls are a little off, I can't be 100% ?? man that thing has been to war, somebody's favorite soldier. That helmet w/blue and green is a keeper Bruce, I've never seen one like it

Unmistakably a hand faceted marble, those ripples are beautiful, I find these way more attractive than the contemporary glass polished sheen, alot of fast work and skill, These guys where compromising their lungs and didn't even know it, just supporting the family or making a few pennies an hour. Must have been very labor intensive piece work, if you didn't produce enough and a good quality you where probably outa there, lookin for another job.

Roll it over one more time into the light !! Well I see a blowhole, a common pelt trait unfortunately, is there any seam at all on it ??? might be a Dragon need a better look, those ribbons look kinda funky, maybe a miller, they're usually a bit bigger ?? Nice ribbon lutz in the back !! Go ahead and keep yours Boris, "Thank you for offering anyway, I appreciate it very much " I'll run into some here now that you all have me looking !!

What Is that Roby ?? I don't have a clue ??

Striped horses !!!

They're all good, keep em I would ???? Everything is gettin harder and harder to find, I've only seen one black face for sale in the last couple months, I don't have one yet.

C'mon not the popcorn gig Bill ?? Whooaah !! that bleep from you chiming in about made me lose my cookies Ron. Gotta turn that volume down a touch, WOW !!!

Thanks for the info Ron, to tell the truth I really didn't recognize either that's why Akro was just a maybe. I have a long way to go on Jabo's, just got my first few dozen a couple weeks ago. I should've stayed on top of it years ago now a lot of catching up. AHH well at least I'm gonna have fun doin it.

A CAC slag has the white color running in and out and around the marble, a true striped transparent will have the color on or very near the surface only "rarely" will the color barely penetrate the outside of the marble on a striped transparent. Here is an example of a true striped transparent, contrary to what they try to push elsewhere as a striped transparent most are slags, just a ploy to get some more money out of you. Again a pic of a true striped transparent. Note the white is only on the outside. The red 2 seamed CAC slag I have pictured above has white running all around the inside the same with the road and tunnel. Striped trans. are worth considerably more money and more rare than a CAC slag. How many CAC's like this do you see elsewhere. I just looked and there were about 25 or so listed as striped transparent and only one was true the rest were double seamed CAC slags or striped opaque's, some weren't even CAC. That's not many out of 31,000 listings. There is no color inside this marble, maybe a very miniscule amount close to the surface in one spot, thus the name striped "transparent" I hope this helps you Bruce I was duped more than once hopefully this will prevent the same from happening to you or anyone else.

Nice bunch of helmets, counting the black along w/ these a nice bunch, more than I have, good show Boris

assorted goodies, 10 countin the Akro ox plate they're sittin on. Under over, I'm just using available pix, a lazy day.

Killer tails on them slags Good lookin horizontal twist goin.

I just got these on accident, they came in lots or jars. I don't collect CAC's but you seem to acquire a little of everything over time. So I kept some of them just for G.Q.

Nice cat Roby !!!!

They certainly made some obscure looking cats, I seen the bags Ron has and almost every on has that strange seam. Thanks for the pix Chuck, not something I see every day !!!

A few more CAC's, a snotty !! The colors on a CAC will generally pop out more than other mibs of the same age when their put together in a group. Obviously not this one a brownish green snotty. A CAC swirl A CAC striped opaque.

I "think" this is CAC also, so called road and tunnel design slag, if anyone knows better please chime in, I'm not that great at I.D. ing the road and tunnel type slags. But the single and double seam like the prior are unmistakably CAC. I'll hang it up @ hand gathers I'm no expert slag person. Hope this helps a little Bruce ?? Oh the American agate mib, I remember it being a more opaque corkscrew looking mib. not positive but I think I have a few mixed in with my red and white Japanese transitional's. I'll take a look !!

In "my" opinion Bruce neither mib you have is CAC, maybe Akro ?? Here is a double seam red CAC slag, these pix showing both sides of one mib.

They're all good Bruce Thanks for the pix

I see your point, alot of pocket wear, can't see nothin, oh well it was worth a try, thanks !!

Exactly where I found it them, I bought two of them that day. for a total of $3.00

I must be getting board !! either that or I'm

Did I forget to tell you, I also collect toy's, there was a shortage when I was a kid. At least that's what they told us. So I'm makin up for lost time.

This is an enormous and very old what I believe to be ladies jewelry and trinket box,( bigger than the backgammon box ) still has the brass skeleton key and "working" lock mechanism. This is some large foam, box is capable of holding 1" to 1,1/4" mibs easily. Definitely made for home display or storage, not something I'd want to lug around.
