akroorka Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 The left one throws me off a bit—at that size and with the green tint—Vacor—I do not know what model or name. It just strikes me as a Vacor. The right hand one is in a different class. Nice bright white glass is involved with this one—perhaps batch glass—or made from a recipe vs cullet glass. CAC? Perhaps—Akro—maybe? The slag is not a Vacor imho. Nice marble!! More opinions are needed here and they are always welcomed. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is all amber or a root beer sort of color, if that makes a difference. It"s right next to a greenish mouse pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Gail Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 The one on the right sure looks like a CAC to me. I see the 9 and tail. But I could be wrong. Let's see what everyone else says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what everyone else says. The left has no distinguishable pattern. The right has a hand-gathered pattern which means it could have been made by any company before circa 1928 or, whenever fully automated systems became commonplace in the glass industry. The one exception is M.F. Christensen and Son (MFC). Oddly enough, MFC made oxblood, but not transparent or opaque red so, you can rule MFC out.. Because the nine pattern is the result of gathering glass on a punty by hand (Hand-gathered) and since the technique was used in the Greek and Roman periods, it is not unique to any single marble or glass company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your info. I'm still learning. There is still a lot I don't know just yet. But I do know some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
