Way too technical for me. Sorry, it starts taking the fun out of it when I have to think too hard(LOL) I just compare it to what some kinds of paint look like when too thick and it dries too fast or too slow? The look is almost identical. Probably way different processes but the same results. Orange peel texture. I have also seen fused glass come out of a kiln that got an orange peel texture.

Looks Akro from here.

I thought taste was most important when dealing with Ducks. And corn and rice feeding pintails are one of my favorites, and I see no reason that a Master would not show up with accidental Oxblood, but I do not believe Master made Oxblood glass for marbles.

That just may be the process??, I think the wrinkles start forming in a fairly narrow time period when the glass starts cooling and the rollers have time to flatten the tops of many of the wrinkles before the marble gets hard. The wrinkle forming must be fairly fast and at a certain time or the wrinkles would be rolled flat or the tops not flattened??

The dirt, rust, texture on the rollers is very rough at the microscopic level. They leave a multitude of scratches on the surface even when rollers appear super clean and smooth. (seen in the first pic I posted.) There do appear to be a few different patterns on the surface that different rollers can make but all the patterns are scratches. IItlooks like the inside of the wrinkles have few(er) scratches leading me to believe they are not made by mechanical force but something else like uneven cooling. Studying these surfaces has let me see how the so called "exotics" have the exact same surface patterns as CAC slags which give me even more assurance that they are genuine. Here is a pic of a new contemporary 5/8" marble. Sure easy to see the difference from hand and machine made at this level of magnification. I need to put a few of your mibs under the scope to see what their surface looks like!

They have never appeared in the same fictional Movie.

I do know that one enlisted man lost his legs to a flying piece of plywood but I do not believe it was even on that crazy day, I was told the crazy strong winds were a regular occurrence

I will agree there are at least two types of Orange Peel. Roller marks (very obvious on the Alox run done at jabo) and shrinking? glass marks which are very obvious on lots of large Vacors, Sorry John, but the more I look at them the less it appears rough rollers had anything to do with the marks. I wish these pictures were clearer but there are not the scratches inside the wrinkles one would expect to see if it was debris on the rollers causing these wrinkles. And these really are more like wrinkles than pressed in marks. I tried to show where you can see the rollers have actually flattened the tops of the wrinkles

The orange peel I am most familiar with is the type often seen on large Vacors. Under close examination it does not appear to be associated with dirty rollers but more like what happens to some paint as it dries. My scope is not working right now but when I get it going again I will post picture to show what I am talking about. In the mean time here are some roller marks on an absolute Wet Mint CAC.

That picture reminded me of the horror stories told by the teaching Pro(retired A.F. Colonel) at a Golf Course where I was superintendent . He was stationed at this wonderful place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Air_Base Thule is the location where the fastest recorded sea level surface wind speed in the world was measured when a peak speed of 333 kilometres per hour (207 mph) was recorded on 8 March 1972 prior to the instrument's destruction

I believe the chemical composition of some glass can lead to "orange peel surface" when cooled at a certain speed. I also believe the quantity of glass can contribute to the way the glass cools which can contribute to whether "orange peel" forms or not. In other words, several contributing factors.

I have been told that Champion and Ravenswood also made them. I believe CAC made some??

Looks like your best luck is south central New Mexico http://maps.unomaha.edu/animatedflightatlas/FlightTrafficAnimation.html

The "electric" yellow CAC slags I have are not flourescent (The white does get bright) but Ann is correct as I found several 2 seam CAC slags that are a light greenish Vaseline glass that glows very nicely

Not Marble King dragonflies

Uncle Bud (Moms brother) was a big band manager back in the day. Krupka and Miller were both acquaintances according to Pops. He also mentioned knocking Uncle Bud out when he said some inappropriate things to my sister when she was a youngster(LOL)

Very nice Alley Agate!!

Even has a Euro look to it.

I do not think CAC or MFC made Vaseline glass marbles. CAC did make true yellow slags that do not glow

South American? Always forget about those S.A. types

Mostly all translucent to at least some degree

I like your Boulders Mike (LOL)

went to a marble buddies farm in Virginia the day after the Vegas show. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners taken care of. Picture off his back deck

Not seeing CAC.
