  1. They look close but I see a few things that say torch to me. Couldn't make a positive call without them in hand. I have seen too many very close torch made CACs lately to make a call without the loupe
  2. Do not know how much they weigh but this is interesting article about glass objects
  3. Very nice!! Here is mine 3/4" from a dig in Madaba, Jordan. I have been told that many of these are suspected of being a type of weight for small balance type scales???
  4. And I believe a lot that look like swirls with no seam are actually handgathered. I go nuts very quickly trying to figure out how the different types of CACs were made. Heck even the 2 seamers make no sense. Not my pic
  5. I am pretty sure they will remember who they got the card from (LOL)
  6. I think that is an assumption because they have been found in Gropper boxes. If I remember correctly they have been mislabeled in a couple of auctions.
  7. I have seen various gems and metals in marbles. I believe only when the white porcelain-clay type objects are used are they called sulphides.
  8. I completely agree with your last statement and you may be able to include Peltier in that line. I have even seen original boxes of American Agates including seamed and non seamed types. See any seams on these? CAC boxes of sililar slags(like the first box posted) can be seen in Grist 4th Ed. 138,139,141 and AMM 71,72
  9. There was no seam on this one And this is a type often found in the #4 boxes. again no seam
  10. I sure believe so. And if I remember correctly you have some boxes of those type slags.
  11. Everything looks just like they should be if CACs to me. Gob fed like their swirls although the Am. Ag. may be handgathered. Hard to tell as they usually have no real 9 or seam anyway. Not all CACs slags are the 2 seam vatiety or handgathered IMO. I have seen many boxes of CAC slags with similar marbles. Even peewees.
  12. You may want to put Gremlin in the search box
  13. I can't believe the 100 percent positive feedback.
  14. If I remember right this was a single pontil marble. They occassionaly break off like the punty mark on other glassware and a piece of the object comes with it. It also happens on occasion with shear cut handmades. Not that uncommon.(the pontil mark) the marble is extremely rare.
  15. http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-Vintage-Marbles-PELTIER-SUPERMAN-GREAT-COLOR-/260691880871?pt=Marbles&hash=item3cb2726ba7#ht_682wt_1139
  16. Not mine. Looks like another has shown up!! Thanks Don.
  17. I brought it back up because I had it on display at the Vegas show and once again no one had seen another. I find it hard to accept there are not more out there.
  18. Hey Steve, those were actually made 2001-2002. Check this out. http://marbleconnection.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=5507
  19. Has anyone ever owned, seen, heard of, or know of another Vitro Box like this one.
