Brian??

The lack of any wear and dirt in the unglazed area is one thing that looks new to me.(esp. in the second) I have little knowledge of what they should look like or what they are so I could be way off base. I would say with pretty much conviction though, that they are not marbles.

They look very new to me?

White Tail deer antlers are one of the fastest growing tissues known to man.

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with Joy and Happiness

Beautiful little birds in their flocks. But why "Cedar" and why "Waxwing"

Sad news indeed. He even spared time for my silly questions and it was always a pleasure to talk with him. RIP Mister Cohen

I think some are of that type.

At least you did not have to go through the nightmare of dealing with this so it does not ever happen again. Yep thats a burgler in the house

Never had it happen so far. I wonder if there is one of those copiers hooked on an ATM, gas pump or something else your using your card at.

I think it may have been a combination of things, mostly expense and knowledge of a good inexpensive recipe for red. As an example are there many(or any?) transparent red handgathered ground pontils from Germany or any red transparent Leighton melted pontil types? On handgathered Slags not a whole lot of difference in cutlines. And you did get me to read the book again (Thanks Michael Cohill for a great publication). and did see reference to red in regards to the Oxblood marbles Of course I would never state with 100% assurance that some transparent red marbles did not exit the MFC building. It is certainly possible. (but not probable) IMO.

Quite a few Foreign slags in that great group IMO. And to back up the no Red Slags from MFC, if anyone is lucky enough to get the MFC book I do not believe you will not find any reference to red slags in the paperwork mentioned.

Killer Alley Andrea.

Hey Ric, totally different mib. This one came by way of the Vegas show. Those were great mibs for sure.

A lot more open space, ranches and farms than urban sprawl. I am graced with some fantastic scenery on my drives to different job sites. If you look close at the second pic you will see a few of the many thousands? of windmills that dot the coastal range hills in this area

Those berries ferment and get the birds drunk.

I do see why some Alley collectors would think that it is an Alley but having or have had many of both It is CAC all the way in my opinion. And a definite brother (maybe redheaded but not a stepbrother) to the 4 above

Yes Winnie I believe they are very unusual colors. And it is a very recent acquisition that took a pretty decent Guinea to get.

Neat Alley IMO

Here you go

Looks Pelt to me.

i think CAC made some fantastic red hand gathered slags
