    I guess a CAC?

    Right, and the 9...
  2. A CAC or MFC of some sort? It doesn't look modern.
  3. .74 UV Some kind of oxblood flame eggyolk Ade with lime glass. Has a seam or crease. Has a factory annealing fracture which I can hardly feel going very slowly with my fingernail, I think. Can't see it in hand. Oxblood and eggyolk color runs deep as does the lime/green. Green glass isn't UV. The white glass is UV. She's home!
  4. Between what years could have this been produced, William?
  5. This is a modern marble because of the green stuff? Whatever it is...?
  6. It looks awfully like a striped opaque cac? Plus there's green glitter stuff on it. Rubbing marbles? Maybe it's a Peltier? It's .56
  7. I just got a notification that something was stuffed in my mailbox! 🤗
  8. I just found out that this is something called a lime Viking uranium mushroom. 60s
  9. Well, it's a Christmas color, green. A UV glass mushroom I didn't know I had.
  10. It's a pretty marble. It reminds me of one of mine.
  11. I don't know much about AV, but is it UV?
  12. This is # 5. I had to get the 5th one because there was an influx of marbles from several sources.
  13. Thanks 🔥. I guess I'll shoot some pictures for the group when I get it and make a decision then.
  14. I know it'll be to hard to return even though they except returns.
  15. Looks like there's Vaseline glass in there? You see straw colored glass?
  16. If it is an annealing factory fracture it's still going to be too rare to return. I'll know real quickly when I run my fingernail over it. But, could it be a cut-off mark like they said? I'll keep it either way. I don't know what cutoff marks look like. I think I'll message them for more insight. "Early" Akro Agate corkscrew marbles from the transitional period (early to mid-1920s) may have a creased pontil (cut line) at one or both poles where the glass stream was sheared. Later, fully machine-made Akro corkscrews typically have seamless poles. Locating the Pontil Marks Pontil marks, also referred to as cut lines or seams in the context of early machine-made marbles, are found at the poles of the marble. Poles: These are the points on opposite ends of the marble where the marble's internal pattern (the "corkscrew" swirl) appears to converge or terminate. Fascinating...
  17. Sounds good. They swear it's perfect. They said it's only irregularities are two bubbles and a cutoff mark. Even if it's a annealing factory fracture, it's still a very worthy marble. I don't know about early Akro cutoff marks. These aren't falling out of trees. I think it's going to be fantastic. Clarksburg WV, circa 1925-1935. 3/4" or (.75)" inch. Mint (9.9). No chips, dings, scratches, cracks, etc. The only visible surface marks aspect to note are the melted edges of 2 tiny bubbles & a cut-off mark (the small line in yellow area seen in 2nd photo)- NOT flaws!! EXCELLENT OVERALL MINT 9.9 CONDITION

    Akro Cork?

    Looks like it and I see eyelashes.
