Hey Fire, I found three of them like yours and one with blue involved in the same construction method. There is some burnt red in the ones that I have and that is the way that I commonly see these. The big ones are a hair under one inch. These all came from an Akro digger. I have had these for at least 20-25 years. Marble—On!!

This could be a dug Akro. Some tried to pass them off as big Sparklers. I will do some digging myself to find one in the depths of the basement. (I knew I saw one someplace before) Marble--On!!

I would call this one a patch and sort it as a Vitro. The way that the black fades into the white steers me that way. Of course they are always better to ID in hand. I just call them like I see them. Marble--On!!

Someone else did market Carnelians--I think. I just can't grasp it tonight.

Funny thing Fire, My first reaction was "that one looks buffed". Ya just never know do ya, it is a nice big one. Marble--On!!

I will correct me here. The MFC Bricks were called CORNelians by the company. I stand corrected, Thanks Art and Marble--On!!

"Blue Macaw" Fire, these came in different color combos. Marble--On!!

Akro made a Carnelian that glows like the dickens, they were marketed by the Akro company with this name. (as shown above by Chad) There is also one by Akro called Carnelian Oxblood, a collectors name I believe, these have no glow. I believe that MFC marketed bricks as Carnelians, I am not so sure about this one though. It has been awhile since I have seen a box of those. Someone correct me if I am wrong here. Marble—On!!

"Twister" Fire--nice one. Marble--On!!

I am thinking Vacor on this one, made with some worn out shears. I wish I had a name--not. Marble--On!!

I think that it a Veli Ron. All makers are blessed once in awhile with this green sparkly stuff. I still do not know why--something in the green glass recipe no doubt. The other side would tell the tale for sure. Marble--On!!

This type of jobber box usually shows up quite faded. Most of them that I have seen hold Pelt white based rainbo type marbles. They came in a few different colors. (Green and maybe grey-hard to tell really because of the fading) I was glad just to see a bit of pink with this one. Marble—On!!

Three sides of the top are pink and one side is faded pink--good question for sure Ric, and I appreciate it. This one sat admired for awhile, just as you see it. The pins are gone but there are a few too many holes in the side of the Riker box. I expect that the previous collector looked at them often and had some adjusting/learning to do putting the pins back in, enough was enough and the pins were thrown aside. I feel his/her pain in doing so. Marble--On!!

Those two with the blue are top notch patch types. Old and very cool--I hate to call them MK for some reason but I agree---very nice. The reddish one may be an Akro. Marble--On!!

Killer for a Rainbo---just killer. Marble--On!!

This jobber box of mostly Pelts ( at least two Corkscrews and one WVS are involved ) is shown as purchased, in the original Riker Display box that the previous collector had them stored in. This one came from an estate. Notice the fade lines on the box top—they line up quite well with the edge of the Riker box. Who am I to question/change this one? The previous collector treated them with care and respect; this may just be what the original jobber supplied in this box, who will ever know. It will stay the way that it is---just because. Respect the past collectors and of course-- Marble—On!!

I appreciate all that has been said. (good to see you back Chris) This type of sparkle/defect, whatever you may call it, will routinely show up in a green colored part of many makers and their marbles. We in the marble collecting world will more than likely refer to it as AV for many years into the future. Right or wrong, it is just the nature of this beast we are all involved with. Why does the green color carry this pollution/desirable defect, more than any other color is my question? Thanks all and--- Marble On!!

Six bucks for all three---great score Fire. I would almost feel guilty---almost😁. Marbles On!!

The one on the far left looks like a MK to me. The one on the far right may be a Pelt (bee family) does it have any AV? Marble--On!!

You have to love that Vitro eggyolk color---I sure do. Marble--On!!

Good reading bumblebee, I think that you know which one is my fave---no buttermilk for the OP🚫. I love this stuff--- Marble--On!!

Is there anything cuter than a baby Rhino---really?? Rhino On!!

Backlight this one Fire, It may open it up for you a bit. Marble--On!!

Finding an orange Slag is very hard for me to do. They are out there but when I compare them to a red one or an amber one I will almost always question myself. They may have been a crossover between the two colors. I believe that Akro made an orange slag and CAC as well, maybe even Pelt did. I have seen very few of any maker that I did not question. They are probably very hard to get a true image of. A true orange slag from any maker, worldwide, is a rarity imho. Marble—On!!
