    It is a metallic sheen that was part of the glass. Attempts to remove it chemically or by buffing are unlikely to improve its appearance (I'm guessing that the base glass is their cheapest glass). But you could give it a go and see what you get.

    Vacor

    Its a flopover single ingot.

    Mega/Vacor. Modern.

    At over an inch, it is far too large for children to shoot. Perhaps it had another purpose.

    Nice research and attribution!

    Steelies

    Alan replied to Steph's topic in Steph's Study Hall

    Are those Steelies, or ball bearings?

    Not oxblood.

    It appears that the glow is blue, correct?

    Attend ONE marble show and they won't be mysteries any longer. You can learn in 2 days in person what will take you 1.5-2 years struggling to learn from flat, one-dimensional photos of varying lighting, focus and color balance on the Web.

    They will need to be a person very well versed with contemporaries, as well as some good basis in vintage handmades and some minimal grasp of Jabos/DAS etc. There aren't that many of those people about.

    Not right for CAC, for me.

    I'm not seeing oxblood. I am seeing polished, remaining scratch and subsurface damage.
  16. Alan
    Not MK for me. Even if wonky, the color density is too dense.

    I would be interested in seeing it if you have a reference in print.
  18. Alan
    I have never seen a shooter.

    FIFY

    Note the wide black band edging. I think that is what you are referring to as it narrows. An Akro employee told us that they used to throw bits of metal scrap into the pot just to watch it flare up. Amusement. I think pretty much of it all burns off.

    Another great post expanding our knowledge. Thank you.

    If the seam goes completely around the circumference - yes.
  23. Alan
    Yes, Akro corkscrew. No "name" per se (marble colors really don't need to be named).
  24. Alan
    Not oxblood. Red glass. Oxblood is darker, usually has black detail lines and isn't transparent.

    And that confidence is based upon? I expect that in quoting specific values to the OP sight-unseen, you are ready to offer those amounts that you are confident in.
