  1. LOL--a lot of work went into this device--Wood? A true crafts man/women--but wood? He/she will figure it out--I am sure. I appreciate the Passion here. 80 weight oil may help but not for long. I just love seeing this stuff and I wish him/her great luck. And I thought that I was crazy??? Nice share here! Marble--On!
  2. Stay tuned--these ID's will change over the years 35 years ago I sold some very nice CAC to a buyer that was very happy to recieve them. They were Alley Agates and stiil worth what he/she payed for sure. I am sure that he/she is not mad--I do not feel bad either--this was just the way back then. We all learn, everyday. Marble--On!!
  3. @Nantucketdink is the expert here and I am far from it. Lets call him up for an evaluation. Regardless--these are just killer images. Marble--On!!
  4. I am not a marble guru by any means, but I will always give my best opinion. Look for more opinions here--I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!
  5. It is not a CAC but it is a great looker. You have some great, well cropped images here--Thanks for that. I would consider this one as a Jabo--Classic. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  6. I could not open it but I get the drift here. I am just an old fashioned--not into the social media stuff--type guy. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
  7. Ummm-- 3/4" in a spray can would be over kill for sure. The smaller the better in shaking it up. I would lean towards a Vacor of some type. @Melissa may have a clue here--but this is a hard one to ID. Nice try on the images--some of these frosted ones can be a bitch to image in a good way. It may just be a commercial made marble, made for polishing something other than glass. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. Orange is a hard color to determine in an online image. This is where images and cutlines come into play. Notice the white and -get away from the orange here. CAC, no doubt, used some cullet--but most of the glass that they made in their short existance was made in house. We all tend to look at the colors--this is just the way of us/we collectors . This is just a nice deep white--very nice to look at. It does Pop for sure--but why does it Pop?--The white imho. The cutlines and the overall appearance of the marble make me say CAC "All Day Long". I would call it a swirl--a very nice swirl. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless--this one is no Alley. Marble--On!!
  9. These "Bricks" , with the just killer Homemade or "Batch white" are some of the tops imho. These are Marbles that were made "In House" with glass that was made "On sight"--no cullet included here imho. Just good old fashioned Glass making. I love these--to the limit. Great marble!!

    Vitro?

    Alta, Canada had more of an advantage in the collection of English marbles than we did here in the USA. I believe that this one came from England. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Hmm, Vitro is the best that I can come up with. Marble--On!!
  15. Crazzy stuff Fire--just crazy. Love it! I do the same with a pen when I am talking on the phone--well, not quite the same----quite a bit less imho. I was never trained. I just hate talking on the phone and I have to do something while putting up with it. I scrabble--a fine art---Scrabbiling--- We all are marble collectors here and I doubt that few that post here do not appreciate fine art. I am a lover of Van Gogh--I still have two ears though--so far--😁. Marble--On!!
  16. I think that @shiroaiko may have an opinion on the OP. If @aussie has any opinions here they are welcomed as well. @YasudaCollector can step in any time--if he is not too deep into the books--LOL. Marble--On!!
  17. I really have all that I could ever ask for Chad. If there was one marble that I would love to hold in hand-- it would be one of those CAC with the weird green/blue. These colors just knock my socks off and every time that I see one, I start to drool, I have never seen one in person, or held one--LOL. This is just a stolen image from Google. Marble--On!!
  18. I am not a collector of contempory made marbles but this question deserves some attention. Marble--On!!
  19. Killer marbles Mojo--great post here. Thanks for sharing these. Is the last one a peewee? Great Images!!!! Marble--On!!
  20. Oops! Marble--On!!
  21. Nice clear glass here--the colors are just top notch. I have seen quite a few cats--too many imho--but this one just knocks my socks off. It is just a killer marble! I do not claim to know who made it--Whoever made it--it was one of the best that they ever made. Nice images here--Thanks for sharing it. Marble-On!!
  22. I would sort this one as a common WVS. No Akro here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  23. Here is a one inch Akro slag--pretty rare these white ones. Marble--On!!
  24. I actually found a "CAC Cobra" quite a few years back in a lot of Cats for sale on e-bay. I wish that I had an image. Oh well😄. It was out of my league and I sold it for a mear $550 at a show. I know, it was worth more--for sure. But $15 to $550 is a pretty good deal in any world. I still look--there are very Rare to find in the wild. They are still out there--just keep the search up! Marble--On!
