Foreign would be my guess, maybe Imperial ??
-
Machine made, looks like a master
-
X2, MFC, I don't think it's polished, all the dimples have smooth edges, just someone took good care of it and it never got played. Surface looks natural to me, you can even see a few wrinkles.
-
They all look as if they have some type of damage, mostly playwear hits it appears, some manufacture defects. The reason for the last pic being in a sink full of water. No doubt with that many you do have some without but a great number do. Some people don't mind damage, collect what you like Lots of same canes, looks like somebody got at least part of them from a boardgame in the past.

#1 looks Vacor for sure, the orange-peel surface I've never seen on a pelt, # 2 looks foreign also
-
X2, seeing a slag also
-
Thus the confusion sets in
-
IDK, so many new ones and new runs and different names for the same run, both mine and akroorca's are probably correct. One things for sure, it's a Vacor.

Japanese IMO, after you see a few thousand you learn to differentiate one from another by the way it was made, glass quality etc...

Really dark cobalt, nice marble
-
Divided ribbon core
-
X2

Ruby Bee Liberty Christmas Tree Spiderman Bumble Bee and Zebra are all Pelt names, some borrow and use them to describe Akro's which only adds to the name confusion. Agree W Melissa, I'd stick to the manufacturer name unless you have one like the Indian Blanket which is specific to Akro, just my opinion though.

still not showing
-
yes, corks, i think they're called snakes
-
Not getting German here, I magged them also and they look like a newer manufacturer type to me, not sure who though
-
yes yours is a moonie type IMO, several companies made moonie (opalescent) type glass, not just Akro & Christensen, I never collected either so just had examples moonie types laying around. Have to be in hand for me and even then I'm no moonie expert. To my knowledge an Akro moonie has to have fish eyes as akroorka says like a flintie as I believe one is.

Pix didn't show Roby, try again, nothing but broken registry here

Caged solid core, what's the size ?? I see one bubble pop and 2 fleas, otherwise a pretty clean marble. Unfinished pontils and on both ends helps me date it to between 1870 or so and 1910. The size is probably around 11/16ths, just guessing though, most of these were made by the Germans for the English gameboard market, the brighter colors also help date it. Dollars to doughnuts it was part of a gameboard set at one time.
