J_Ding Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Some time ago I learned from Roger Browse (we miss him) that he felt that MFC didn't make yellow slags--I am presently favoring this view. Cohill doesn't mention yellow either in his unpublished book on MFC. Roger also indicated that he thought that CAC did make a non-electric yellow slag that was hand-gathered, and indicated those were very very rare (and don't recall if CAC made machine yellow slags. Along with this, is the general challenge of figuring out when amber ends and yellow begins, and what brown might be. Back-lighting seems to help...but then add another level of confusion. Akro also gets the yellow tag too for fully machine. Thanks! John (ps...I'm not worried about Pelt yellow machines...I have those...and too, I get the argument of slight variation from mib to mib...boy do I get that argument!). Thanks!

slagmarble Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 There are non-electric, non-vaseline yellow slags that are more of a canary yellow in color. Not common, and the one that comes to mind is handgathered. The slag sections in the books are often wildly inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Here's my handgathered yellow in this group. Always thought of it as CAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Cohill has all the MFC records and other paperwork, plus original box samples, so I go with him. His book was published privately, and it's heck to get a hold of. I finally got one after some years of actively trying, so they do come up every now and then. Haven't seen one in a while, though.

Al Oregon Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think there were less than 100 printed. Somewhere here I have # 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 You mentioned the line between yellow and amber . . . Marblealan sometimes used the word "pilsner" when getting into that area . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
