Fire1981 Posted December 5, 2024 Report Share Posted December 5, 2024 The white is really chalky in hand. The light makes it look somewhat glossy. Chalky or an Orphan from a trash fire 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 5, 2024 Report Share Posted December 5, 2024 A "Chalkie" is just marbles run with slaggy scum in the glass. A batch defect that would normally have been corrected. Somehow folks started to think they were a type of their own at some point. I see your point about the reflection. I'd like to see it with less light at the termination point, if possible. I *think* it might be something older (or not). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 5, 2024 Report Share Posted December 5, 2024 This is my vision--- A youngster back in the 20-30's--male or female was playing with marbles in the living room. It was winter--just after Christmas. The house-cat got a-hold of one and it rolled down the cold air exchange and back into the coal fired furnace--Mom kept the cold air return quite clean back then. After an up-grade to a more affordable fuel oil furnace🥶😁. This marble was found. An Akro “Turquoise” slag. Yah, I dream about this stuff and have had it happen too. Just a dreamer-- Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted December 6, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2024 Nice story Art. My Mom kept the air exchange going as well. But…this was just a half hour South of Ottawa Illinois. She scooped these up. 2 Pelts and an out of state Akro. Her cats name was Rainbo🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
