  1. Surface imperfections suggest something other than American made. Definitely need to be an In Hand call for me
  2. Only carry on. Too much value to take a chance with check in.
  3. Good, please leave all CACs for me. I will be bringing that box of Killers to show off. Anything your looking for? I shall have some very special Alley marbles and possibly one of the most outstanding Ravenswood I have ever seen.
  4. A clearer picture of the pontil would be needed. All of Harveys' marbles will have a melted pontil unless rounded so well that there is just a extremely small pontil mark where it was snapped off the other glass.
  5. Cause some crazy Pelt collector said so and a few more agreed. You really gonna try and figure out the name game?? Why is it a Liberty when it is Orange????? heck being a Citris type why isn't it an Orange Blueberry Citris? Galen, Founding member of NHA
  6. Long strings of cullet glass found at CAC have given some folks the Idea that they made canes. Of course they have to totally forget about the seams or the handgathered 9s and cutoff marks. It is a ridiculous(or whatever is even more ridiculous than rediculous idea IMO. They even use classic football shaped marbles(from riding the rounding rollers) as examples of pontiled marbles. CACs are machine made marbles.
  7. 8:00 center ring. I will see if I can find another pic 9:00
  8. Not torched but polished. Those are bubble pops with sharp edges from being polished. In the fourth picture just to the left and a little below is a perfect example of the feathered out look that happens to thin color swirls when polished.
  9. Sorry Hansel if you thought I was getting personal. I was trying to be funny and I guess it didn't translate properly. I should have said I would like to take a couple of them and do that to them. I certainly did not mean to make it sound like I wanted you dto get injured or destroy the items because they were yours. I see know it looks that way and I apologize. Which color opaques?
  10. Nothing alike IMO. Every company used transparent base glass. Those champions have transparent-translucent swirling colored glass. Nothing as solid and opaque as CAC glass. Those marbles have also been found in the tens of thousands and have been attempted to be passed off as Furnace marbles hundreds of times over the years on Ebay. Trying to compare them to CACs is rediculous IMO. They are also later run Champions made with cullet glass.
  11. I would have to know how they behaved if smashed together before coming to any conclusion. So take one in each hand hold arms as far apart as possible and as quickly as you can bring them together in one swift motion in front of you, Now remove shard from eyes and face and take a picture of the damage to the balls. Ooops I forgot to say wear safety glasses
  12. Nice Buddy box, tough find with the actual Ravenswoods in them
  13. Tried as a glass to make marbles, Used as a glass to help clean out the old glass, used as clean out then tried as a glass for production because of it beauty.
  14. We are looking for facts on actual dates the wissmach glass was put in the furnace at Champion(for whatever reason,I have heard 3)
  15. The one article states sheets of actual agate were used. This is incorrect. Obviously sometimes experts are not.
  16. Hit marks explained; Kids (and many adults) love to play with round objects.
