CAC Nox

x5

Looks like a glob of glass escaped the shears, was crimped by some piece of metal and fell to the floor. Never made the shear or the rollers.

Give them 48 hours to make it right - otherwise NAME THEM. There is no room for this.

The glass is not ringing my Chrissy or Akro bell.

If you're referring to the masks - they're made by Mark Matthews.

Nice. They show the color injection pattern very well.

Two E46 M3s.

The track car is an M3, but I am right seat in most things one can imagine (and a few one can't).

I teach racing and high performance driving on weekends.

Estimating prices on a marble based upon photos (most of which are either not focused - or badly lit.... or both) is a rather foolish errand. The vast majority of marbles offered for sale on any internet fora are by either people how are clueless how to grade, lie/exaggerate condition or cannot accurately ID what they are selling. Why is it that 99% of those misidentified marble are incorrectly identified as something worth FAR more than the pedestrian common marble they are offering? How did we get to the point where practically everything is called "mint -" ????? Ditto for "mint" marble with obvious damage, often accompanied by weasel-words like "as-made" (were you there at the factory when it was made?), "tool touch mark" on a machine made (really?) and undisclosed glass fractures which the seller would later say "well - the outer glass was mint!". At a show you can grade it yourself, examine it and it is what it is. Value is much easier to arrive in the context of correct grading and ID. IMO

That is CAC glass flow.

Nice!!!

Its CAC glass

I never wrote anything that referred to a "specific pattern" or a "spiral". I also did not refer to a "patent". Nor did I refer to all of the other external machinery, "spinning independently", "Barker", whether he worked for Akro or not etc etc that you are seemingly referring to.

First one is a modern frit marble. The rest appear to be game marbles. The last one is out-of-focus and I won't guess at it.

Perhaps you are thinking that the colors you see are reactions, when some or most of them are a combination of inner reflections and refractions through multi-colored transparent glass colors. The blue/purple you are seeing is reflection of the UV light.

It appears to me to be a machine made.

Those pictured aren't mine - they're Roger Hardy's. I have two - and they are as individually unique as Roger's.
