Does the base actually have that pink tint as the pic shows?

I'm not seeing any silver.

Their only value is as a curio.

From the last pic I'd call Divided core.

Akro all day.

Those appear to be painted-on logos.

Make sure you measure drawer clearance.

It is a tri-level solid core. A nice one. Keeping the bands consistent when the cane has been worked down to 1/2" is a reflection of real skill. Cane cut marbles were made in Germany (and later, in England) from around 1860 - 1920.

As noted - those aren't pontils. Pontils don't look like that.

Its not a Clambroth. Maglite or other.

Neither chocolate or oxblood.

Its a very simple design to make. The technique is called "raking". Looks like they blew off annealing, but thats common when they are in a hurry. Its not really a pontil. Its a small diameter glass rod attachment.

Those are 1990s new-ish MK. They were available in fair quantity, not really HTF at all. -
They appear to be minimally buffed. "Buffed" is polished by hand with pontils remaining.

The motor source states that they haven't sold that motor (or an equivalent) since 2017.

The Popeye patches were factory discards. They are overwhelmingly in that color combination. I have seen an entire wood Army footlocker full of them for sale.

That appears reflective, not reactive.

Just noting that Memorial Day honors US military members who lost their lives in the military service of the nation.
