Come to Canton in a couple weeks and we can talk about them as long as you would like.

Not quite the red I associate with CAC so Akro or Peltier would be my guess?

Nice grab for sure!!!!

Nicely Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its Actually "Where's Poppa" and absolutely worth all efforts made to watch it. I tried Amazon but they want over $60.00 for it. YIKES!!! Guess I need to go torrent Definitely would not be considered PC by todays standards

Never liked that name for those concretions but they are cool and have always fascinated me.

From the eye and hands of a true Arteest!!!!

Sarah I totally agree, Harold and Maude, One of the greatest movies of all time. Saw it at the drive in the first time. Wheres Papa is another all time favorite. If you haven't seen it I wish I were you watching it for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace, Galen Having a fairly disturbed mind I have to admit my Favorite movie ever is "PULP FICTION"

WOW! Thanks for getting me to look harder at that marble. The left half is actually a transparent red base (looks like stripes) and the off white is is a very thin layer of white glass on top of the red(left side) the right side is Opaque white.

Sorry BJ, I could have gone about this in a much more civilized manner. We have been discussing these and studying them for years. Absolutely no way they are CAC IMO . Besides the glass being all wrong there is often odd cut off marks that one never finds on CACs, Also the thick 9 and odd patterning often found at the cut off is different than what one usually sees with CAC, There are also transparent based ones and many with white base glass IMO. The glass colors are sort of Muted and tend to blend together BJs really shows this, something you really don,t see with CACs. They are very easy to identify in hand. I turned one around that has the little crease pontil(cut off) Steff, was it Roger that has the big collection of these? He also posted great pics at one time. Found it http://members.kingston.net/browse/transpics/

lets not get too carried away.

Just hit 65

I always wished that George Burns and Ruth Gordon would have made a movie together.

Hey, did my post disappear(LOL)

I shall try to have a nicer more positive attitude on the board. After all, it is a great hobby.

Seems that lately I am the one that should be getting the flag thrown at. (Now even my English has gone to heck). Gonna go try and make happy.

The more I look the more I see the same type you posted.

The poster on the left is signed by the little Red Head girl on the cover.

I think BJ has heard all the stories. For example he says he knows most have been found in Canada. I may be wrong but his reply kind of backs up what I think. Hope I am wrong. After all the BS I see and hear when it comes to this hobby it is getting real hard for me to believe the ignorance story from someone as knowledgeable about the hobby as BJ. No big deal, he pulled the auctions and knows whether he used the CAC name to make a $. Maybe BJ just had a lapse, I know I have them, And he probably would sell them for good money with a proper listing. And a lower starting price. Galen Wilcox: Ebay marble policeman (LOL) Board of Inquiry may be a better place for this thread. Sorry

Can not find the pics I am looking for. So with this old brain I would say Winnie may be on to something except her marbles do not show the thin layer of white covering many on the opposite sides of the patches that is seen on many of the first ones posted

Like Akro and Peltier I think CAC hand gathered until they got their gob feeders up and running. Not sure of the date. Reading that the owners were not really into marbles maybe they didn't immediately want to foot the expense of setting up the gob feeders?? Or maybe a lot of the fantastic types actually were hand gathered and they didn't want to mess with a good thing??

If I seem to be a bit rough it is because you blew my perception of you. . You should have pulled them, And if you do not know who made why not say so. Why list them as Christensen?? Marble collecting is confusing enough with out folks that know better contributing to the confusion. I hope times are not so tough for you that it caused this lack of judgement. Just a cranky, judgemental, outspoken marble collector . Galen Wilcox

Bob was way off attributing those types to CAC. Colors are all wrong and construction is also completely different IMO. No Positive maker has been found but most turn up in Canada so they are often called Canadian. I would have thought you knew at least that much. Sorry if you did not know any of that. I think it was maybe Roger that has a great study on them somewhere. The red and blue also is not CAC

I have never heard a thing about CAC using the MFC style rounding machines. Pretty sure the Auger style were in place at Peltier and Akro before CAC started pumping out marbles. They were used for hand gathered marbles at Akro and Peltier

Look like one of the varieties of newer MKs to me.
