Does Anyone Feel Like Talking About Cac Bloodies?

I have never made any cut and dry statements as to what can or can not be assumed. Just given my opinions and asked questions to gather more info. I change my opinions from time to time as I learn and garner more information. I have said I do not believe large amounts of discarded defective marbles and associated cullet would have been exchanged between companies. So seeing that large amounts of certain type patch marble and the associated cullet was found together at the Sisterville site it is my OPINION they were made there. Untill I find packaging, paperwork or pictures I have NO PROOF.
-
I was hoping you would tell us what got you to change your mind. I was not trying to say there is anything at all wrong with changing your mind. To answer your question, I believe finding large quantities of a certain type of marble and the cullet that matches it at a manufacturing site one of the better ways to decide if you want to think that the marbles were made by a certain company. I have not yet had or seen them in a package so I have no real proof, just an opinion.

Ronnie there are several folks on this board that do not really care for me. But they all seem to be honest forthright folks that just do not like my opinions or the way I express them. I would be happy to answer any of their questions and heck even buy them lunch so we could argue and talk marbles. For you I have this,

This thread got me investigating. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/7024-what-the-h-e-double-toothpicks/page-2?hl=+alley%20+patch you seemed to be positive Alley made patches then. What changed your mind? Maybe someday I will cahange my mind. Thats how it works. Opinions are given evidence found assumptions made and other opinions made. It can be done with out the Pot shots.

I should have been clearer, I do not believe marbles and marble cullet was sent to another company for them to make marbles with. Possibly single color marbles but not multicolored marbles or cullet. It is too hard to get an expected result with multicolored glass. I just do not believe they needed to resort to this time consuming process not sure of results. And probably never will. Of course a batch recipe example that includes something like yellow and green swirls from X company would certainly change my mind. Ron, please do not take my questions as an attack on your opinion, I respect your opinion, it doesn't mean we need to agree. And you have now posted a lot of interesting opinions, thats great, why take offense at my post. I am just looking for info and using a methos that seems to work well.
-
No need to take shots at me Ron. I have found that my posts seem to get much more discussion going even if I have to take the potshots that come as a result. And although I do take the potshots it is a shame they have to be made. I do not agree with a lot of folks opinions but I do not slight them or find fault with them because of their opinions. I do react at time to the pot shots but hopefully some day I will even become a good enough person to except that some folks just can not help themselves. The salting is no big deal. I have talked to 2 different diggers that would often take marbles from one company and drop them around the sites of other company digs. I guess they derived some kind of joy from doing it. Seemed a bit silly to me.

Artists and funny men are usually geniuses. Sorry Mike, you are an artist and very funny so we can't put you in the Moron category. The 3 do not go together. So you may be a genius with learning disabilities(LOL)
-
Or just possibly the original poster was trying to get some good information posted. I do not expect any or all to agree with me. And I do like hearing all sides. And I do not need to judge people by their opinions on marbles of all things. Thank you for posting Ron even with the pot shots. Now back to topic. So if large amounts of swirls were exchanged by West Virginia companies how is it possible to say for example a marble found at one site is not absolutely a marble from a different company? I do know that marbles were sometimes bought from other companies to fill jobber orders. I just do not believe cullet glass and marbles from marble production was exchanched to make other marbles.

Got To See This Machine...

gotta love American ingenuity!!!! -
One problem I have with dug marbles is it is too often assumed that because a certain type marble is found in the digs it is assumed that they also were in general circulation. Just not true. Many runs and types were dumped and never sold.

Took those two guys a while to get back up!! LOL

Does Anyone Feel Like Talking About Cac Bloodies?
lstmmrbls replied to MLee1919's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
many(most?) of the CAC bloodies will glow under UV light. Great example Winnie. -
Most of those look new with possibly a couple vintage.
-
It is the thought of a few folks that large amounts of marbles and cullet from one company have been found at another companies site. If this is so what would keep anyone from assuming that there were marbles from many companies dumped at other companies sites. Making Identification of many marbles null and void just because they were found at a certain site. (personally I do not believe this happened but I do know a few characters that have salted sites with marbles from other companies. Lets hear some thoughts.

Flint Glass -- Akro Hype Or Something Special?
lstmmrbls replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
A possible marketing ploy with no actual basis of real chemical composition?? Being that "Flint Glass" was a name with a very broad definition. Time to weigh some marbles. -
Do we have any other pics of different Hot Shot bags?
-
There has been a lot of discussion on whether those bags contained only Akro marbles.
-
patch marbles would involve using a very wide stream and possibly no cup, so much more unlikely. It is one of the reasons a Master swirl is so unlikely.
-
with a thin stream and no spin to the cup a swirl would be the result.
