Steph Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 American Cornelian Marbles, 25 count, No. 1. These pictures came from an auction some time back. These are called "bricks", right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 OOOoooOOO...red...I'll havta keep a look-out for those :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think it's a special kind of red. I think it's oxblood ... or something like oxblood. I've asked a question about it in the main chat forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagmarble Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Its oxblood and the complete box is very rare, there are very very few existing examples floating around. Its probably on par with a Christensen Cobra box but not quite as rare as the pastel. The contents are not particularly uncommon at No. 1 which would be around 5/8". -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks. The picture in Post #6 would have done it for me. As much as I read, things can blur a bit and I forget where I read them. So when I want to doublecheck, I can't find them. That's why I started these thread lists to begin with! Now I need to go back and reread all of the links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 You're welcome. I have read many of the posts on the different boards since I cannot share pics, couple hours a day. I figure, besides learning something, maybe I will see something that looks like what I have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Ding Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 In the end my friend decided to hang on to that one (above) for now. And who could blame that position? I would too. I was interested in the mib above because it seemed a bit more blue-green than the two examples I have (they were wild caught examples in a quart jar for $20...both had rust, but were in great condition overall). I wonder out loud if the marble above could also be CAC? I have been unable to confirm the entire pallet of opaques that CAC might have produced. Here is one of the two I have, and that I feel very confident are MFC Imperial Jade....the settings on both of the photographs were the same.
