I am NOT questioning Alan's ID of this marble, I just want to know if anyone has seen another CAC with this many varied colors? It's a beautiful marble, I think, and I don't recall seeing any like it or any pictures of any like it. Did CAC make individual, one-of-a-kind marbles?

The way CAC employees manipulated the glass before the rollers made many of their marbles near one of a kind.(probably not really but as close as you can get with machine mades) here is a pic of CAC halves( I wish I could give credit but I forgot whose it was) That marble is now in the pic. I did this just to show some of what CAC did. I have never seen whole marbles like many in the pic and I imagine at almost every show I will see another I haven't seen yet. Notice how many in the pic fit the so called (Exotic)(I hate that term)mold. Peace,Galen

I met a guy named Rick from New London Ohio who had a bunch of real nice cac's, striped opaques and transparents. I was impressed with the variety he had. I'll try to get a decent picture of the one's I bought from him and post it.

The one Alan is selling now is still more colorful than any I've seen.

That was a great collection Bill - glad I was able to see it in the flesh with you.

Here's another Alan CA auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Marbles-5-8-CHRISTENSEN-ORANGE-YELLOW-GREEN-S-O_W0QQitemZ180154681806QQihZ008QQcategoryZ2573QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I used to own this bad boy and still kick my ars for selling it.......
This was found in a Mason jar with a bunch of older common machine mades in the 80's.

Right on Brian:-)

I remember that striped opaque, I almost got to own it....lol

Here's a couple of nice simple striped opaques with electric orange/red.
The lower example I sold a few years back. I still have the top example.

These are ancient photos...lol They could be as old as 10 years, they were taken with my first digital camera and it died almost ten years ago... Smile

I'll take some new pics as these really do not do the marbles justice:-)
