BuckEye Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well friends I found a new marble and it has me baffled. The center mib has the classic CAC blue base with what appears to be "oxblood" While I know CAC didnt make true oxblood (and we dont need to fight about that; or do we?)It really appears this time to be that way. It is flanked by other CAC's with red and electric orange respectively. It appears to be pseudo hand gathered and is pretty neat. I think I read somewhere a while back that CAC didnt even make Persian oxblood, but who knows. Sorry for the rambling. Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated!

lstmmrbls Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice mib! Not a real hard to find color combo for CAC IMO. They made some red-brown that looks a lot like oxblood glass. It was MFC that made the handgathered blue opaque Persian Turquoise marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Under further inspection the base glass color more closely resembles that of my MFC Persian turq's......think its MFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roany poany Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Under further inspection the base glass color more closely resembles that of my MFC Persian turq's......think its MFC? I'm not seeing any handgathered marbles . All the marbles you have shown here look like machine made marbles. ...and I think the production of MFC Persian Oxbloods was Bob Block's pipe dream. given there might have been a few "close" ones made. I defy anyone so show a box of em...or 3 or 4 for that matter. (BT has one that might sway me a little) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Definately a CAC swirl IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTAndrea Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 The late Les Jones once told me he didn't think there was any such marble as a Persian (spelled incorrectly in the books as Persion) oxblood or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the books . . . I've seen at least one original box that carried the misspelling "Persion," and some of the books have repeated it . . .

I LOVE MARBLES Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 MFC Persian Turquoise mibs with a CAC in the middle. All hand gathered machine rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I LOVE MARBLES Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Les was right, no such mib as MFC Persian Oxblood. Really like the hand gathered machine rounded marbles! Here's another i think? Six instead of a nine what do you think? The seller had listed as a CAC s/o will agree, but think it's a hand gathered striped opaque.

david Chamberlain Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 What I loved about Les was the atmosphere in his room; it was like Les was holding court and justifiably so. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
