This is a very cool find.
It has to be part of a Machine--Kiln that was broken up and disgarded.
Many parts of a "Machine" had a limited lifespan but eventually the entire kiln had to be remade--just because of use.
These pieces of the Kiln always carried some glass on them.
The folks back then just dumped what they considered as junk into the rivers--or landfills.
Go back and find some more--dig deep.
Good luck!
I Just love this stuff!
Marble--On!!
I would have to say that this one is an Akro Corkscrew.
"Experimental" is the old term for one found in a dig site.
I think that you have one here.
It could have been made during a switch in color combos--these were commonly tossed aside between runs.
I have a huge imagination but this one has some of the "wipsy white" that I would associate with the "Popeyes'.
I wonder what went on with this one?
It is not a Popeye----
Nice keep and share.
Marble--On!!
This one is a Pelt Rainbo.
If you can get an angle on the white it might just be Opal.
Shine a white light through the white and if you see a reddish glow--it is Opalescent white.
A bonus for me at least.
Nice find!!
Marble--On!!
Nice share for sure.
This one shows what we collectors call "Pocket Wear".
The wear could be there for a variety of reasons--but pocket wear is the term that we use most commonly.
Any collector would love to hold and see this one.
If the finish were intact and shiny--the sky could be the limit as far as $$ go.
I love that your friend saved it and allowed you to share it with us here.
Marble--On!!
Nice stuff Chad.
I have picked up so many pieces of Imperial over the years that I lost track.
Me to my wife--"Hey Dear" Is this Akro? LOL--answer---"Nope--put it back and do not break it".😁.
Oh well, I did pretty well most of the time.
