Fire1981 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 It’s my understanding that the Glass Master maker at Akro figured out how to make Oxblood. I think his name was CJ Fields. It’s my understanding that employees from other factories got jobs at Akro and tried to steal the “formula “. True ? Kinda True ? Or just a bunch of Bull Carp. Scramble Carp and you get Crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have heard that the guy at Akro stole the formula from MFC, or defected and brought the formula with him. That may be scrambled carp too. Not sure what the truth is. Thanks Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 The CAC is special and will be of interest in this thread. I think the corkscrew could be somewhat HTF. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always used it in my work, and never had too much in the way of problems. My X10 iphone does much better. So, not green, more of a muddy brown. no light passes thru it when backlit.

I went to marblealan’s ID page, no mention of CAC producing oxblood, but no reference guide is 100% correct. I pulled this pic of an MFC green brick, not really that green, plus the hand gathered tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen green bricks w/ just a tint of green, transparent green base or opaque green, Here's a sale of a partially tramsparent Killer from a recent Ebay sale, Note the "cut line". I believe yours to still be MF Brad, maybe someone will chime in for a bit more info on this subject ?? Another highly transparent one sold by Zaboo a couple years ago, demonstrating the highly variable bases in green bricks, evidently just a little tint is enough to call it a green brick. Another older transparent base brick sale from Ebay Though a "cutline" is present I believe they're still considered to be made by MF, weather white, green, black, or just a regular ox brick (excluding Akro) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 I am not sure the first one is oxblood ? Not sure with the far away pics. Maybe a CAC striped opaque? Maybe a MFC brick ? Plus not sure on condition ? CAC did have some with oxblood. Just a few months ago, I sold a CAC transparent blue with oxblood stripes or ribbons and with a very small amount of white. I had it for 15-20 years. Plus years later the exact(even with the very little white)matching cullet was dug at Cambridge. But not many CAC with oxblood.

wvrons Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 I don't see any green in any of these pics. Just lots of fan shaped window reflections. Trouble even seeing the cut line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
