I have heard lots of different stories every year since these were first sold by a select few and most sold to a select few. You almost needed a invitation to see them for sale. They sure looked nice then and now. I admit that i have a few but not from the original dealers back in the day. I talked with and knew some of the original dealers but nobody that made the actual or original find. I have no proof or seen any proof either way just hearsay and some interesting stories. But i am always willing to listen to another story. I don't think the horse is dead yet. I have plenty of popcorn. There was a cache found?!?! Ohhhhh I’m getting out the snacks. Fill this lil Canadian in. I just came here to search about some possible CACs’ in my box. Omg 😲 I just reread my comment lmao that last bit is too funny to erase Edited October 14, 2021 by Steph New thread for a new generation :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Might be worthwhile to start a new thread with pics of your "possible CAC's" ....This particular thread is at least 6 years old, there is some good info, but a some of these members don't post anymore. Might be interesting to see what you've got... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 These CAC cullet marbles are some of the best cullet that I own. They have helped me to the max because the colors are hard to determine until you have them in hand. I have been able to make many questionable ID’s fact because of these in my hand. The top two are my most recent helpers and I will post a later image or to two show you all. CA Exotics were and always will be out of my realm, cost-wise . I have sold a few because they were not in my realm, or out of my league of collecting. I have read a post in the last 20-25 years of one collector that had bucketfuls of “Exotics”. I think that it was Les Jones (RIP) The Ca’s that I own are all “out of the wild”, thanks in no small part to this “cullet” along with the rest of the smaller pieces that are not shown. I consider all CA marbles to be rare---period. Marble—On!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 These are pics previously posted (none of the marbles are mine) but might be referred to as what's requested in the thread title. No idea who coined the name. Please feel free to post your marbles Jessieproulx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Not my pics or mibs but from what I understand these are very rare along w/ the red devils, layered sand, submarines, etc ... Not sure but I believe I got these from a post on CAC's from AAM ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I've seen some pretty killer marbles ground made from a solid piece of cullet (not torched or remelt's) Not much to go around as even the price of many of the nicer flame type cullet pieces has been fetching a very decent price. I'll see if I can find pix of a few to share. (notta) A very nice piece of cullet, 1.75 x 1.75 x 1.75 almost perfect sized to make a cullet marble from, or great just the way it is, pieces of cullet like this are VVHTF & getting up there in $$. I've sold, traded and gifted all my Christensen away except for 2 mibs. A Pelt Head at heart so you know where the money went & what I traded for, a few Alley's snuck their way in there too Guess I better post a few pix, not mine, a few pix of a nice clean submarine a friend of mine Terry sold a few years back. This is a larger sized one @ 21/32nds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berryb Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I have some CACs, some suspected CACs, and some CAC wannabes, none of which can hold a candle to the stuff above. Here are some of mine anyway. Thanks Bruce I still can't figure out why some load upside down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
