  1. And my favorite true transitionals(handgathered machine rounded)
  2. Many went to scrap. Ray I am of the understanding Vacor made and makes all their machines. What have you heard about the machines that went to Mexico
  3. Not saying what these are but there are some contemporaries that are nearly identical.
  4. bunch of neat marbles. And yes, I believe Muddies show as transparent like when backlighted.
  5. if it is a Pelt I believe it would be a NLR
  6. I still believe the Alley marbles where a total accident where a contaminant of some sort made some crystals with the appearence of Lutz. And who says what is lutz goldstone or aventurine and what is the difference between the 3. Actually let me edit, the stuff on the Alley marbles really does not look like what is now being called Lutz at all IMO
  7. Very obvious glass does not flow IMO. Heck if that was anywhere near true lead is much more viscous than glass so all the lead would have flowed out and the glass dropped to the ground way before it had a chance to get thicker at the bottom(LOL) An if it where true why isn't my Roman glass vase just a puddle since it was buried in one place for about 1500 years.
  8. Yes, I missed that thread, Absolutely Peltiers no question about it.
  9. Hey Chordus, how about some pics of the folds or seams on those 2 marbles.
  10. You know you should wear an apron when working in a fine dress like that
  11. I am thinking they may be from a fairly new marble maker.
  12. there are corkscrews colored like Popeyes on opalescent bases
  13. Here is a variety of shear marks that can be felt. I kept the pic large so they are easier to see. Ann, many would call the top far right marble a folded pontil. These are machine rounded, but handgathered.
  14. actually they are called shear marks and are all the marks we call pontil marks on transitionals. Hand gathered American slags have shear marks but they were made hot enough that they are smooth. Here is one site with some good pics. I will take some and post tommorrow pontil/shear marks
  15. Same fakes that have been going around. Notice the no seams and the darker areas in the center areas of the color spots.
  16. And the sick SOB espouses Christian values ect on his facebook page. Guess the devil made him do it. Wish I had the guts to post a question on facebook asking him if he heard about the Thou Shall Not Steal part of the bible.
  17. Makes no sense to me as a pencil holder???? I am thinking a piece has been lost off the end
  18. Looks like a nice mix of American and Foreign made
