ann Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Yes - they`re pretty thin on the ground. Not in business for very long. Had weird colors, like chartreuse and olive. Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 From what I gathered Barberton glass and Novelty produced machine made slags only for a couple years in the same area as MFC's factory.Ā So was Barberton glass and Novelty the second machine made marble company after MFC. Newspaper article says until Barberton glass and Novelty opened MFC was the only factory of its kind in the country.. Interesting stuffĀ š¤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just went back and checked my Barberton and yes it has a melted pontil - been away for a while so I forget - so I withdraw my Barberton suggestion. But the"cutline" on this one does resemble some I`ve seen that were handgathered and machine-rounded. But it`s obviously not MFC on the color alone. Maybe a very early Somebody Else. Akro? Hard to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Slags are rough Akros by default imho... if no other prominent traits point to other makers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
