Leigh Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 I think this one may be CAC or MFC, but whatever it is, even in this condition, I am happy with it because it really is beautiful. If anyone can identify it, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhomer2172 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 It can’t be a MFC, they didn’t have red slags. So either CAC or Akro, not many CAC traits so I’ll say hand gathered Akro slag, Nice! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 You are correct that MFC did not make red slags. Agree that it would most likely be a hand-gathered Akro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 A couple of weeks ago I thought I was finally starting to figure things out, but I feel like I know less now than when I started this life of marbles! Could this one be a Peltier Cerise or can that option be ruled out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Peltier Cerise we’re hand-gathered slags made around 1925, predating the feathered machine slags. They tend to have a poorly defined “9” and are red slags with a single seam. Identification is very difficult and unless they are found in an original box, can be quite challenging to ID. This marble has a well-defined “9” and I will defer to others but I don’t think you have a Cerise , although it is a great marble! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I`m lucky enough to have an original box of Cerises, and I have to say this is not one - although Cerises are hand-gathered , they don`t have 9s. I'd post a pic but I lost them all. There`s an old post somewhere on this board of my box, but I`d have to look hard to find it, probably. I`ll look. But this is a nice as heck hand-gathered slag, anyway. I`d be happy to have it too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
