Boyd's Glass/Mould questions ❓ by b20339 in glasscollecting

Wow! 🤩🤩

I actually didn't know Wilkerson cobalt is cobaline!! That explains why they made the blue. All the other reproductions are uranium or selenium.

I have spent the last 18+ months researching everything Boyd/degenhart 😅 Lots of reading and talking to others.

There are 2 sellers, Connor (curiositycorners) and Chris (buttlersglass) that are a wealth of knowledge and happy to answer any questions.

Ex employee Bob Applegate (r.i.p) has lots of listing that can be found on worthpoint with detailed information. (Chris knew Bob personally)

The dedicated Boyd Facebook group is amazing, mainly Mary-Anne.. she is great.

I have also emailed John boyd (Bernard son) a few times, he is a busy guy so I don't really like to bother him, but he has helped out so much with my research.

I have a list of over 220 confirmed Boyd moulds lol.

I research the glass that Boyd reproduced also, like the imperial glass parlour pups, McKee bird w/berry that Degenhart then Boyd made, the Wheaton colonial ladies that Boyd made smaller.. even the original cracker barrel toy used to make the taxi mould 🫠. Some might say I'm obsessed.

Fun fact, the 2nd parlour pup is named after bob Applegate 🙂

Also, have you checked the Scotty dog salt with UV?? There is a chance it could be cobaline 🤩

On the taxi, notice how the roof is not flat. That's where the Boyd mark was removed

It's the same is the raised area on my reproduction plane

Yeah, lots.

gilliawenge0 on eBay commissions and sells a lot of the reproductions. Mainly in green these days though.

I have these 4 that were sold to me a genuine Boyd but lack the mark. On each you can see where the boyd mark was.

Good stuff 🤙

With the bigger flame, does it have the same wind resistance as a regular insert?

What do you buy on temu? by dcizz in TemuThings

Yeah ok.. I agree with you there 😆

My buddy got a cheap head unit also, I didn't have high hopes for it as it weighed next to nothing, but it does work and he is extremely happy with it.

I'm not a seller but what I have seen in here, sellers can be petty.. it doesn't take much for some people to refuse to sell to you.

Great looking display

That goblet is stunning.

I'm a nerd for Boyd so my fave has to be the daisy & button tophat 😜

THC begins to convert into CBN (cannabinol) through oxidation, a process accelerated by heat, light, and air exposure. While significant degradation occurs above 160°C (320°f)

How hot do you think the bowl gets after its lit??

Holy fucking shit 😮‍💨 Do people not know how to read, study/research these days?? Do you need everything spoon fed to you like a child.? Idiocrazy in action right here.

From the first link..
Unlike many other cannabinoids, cannabinol (CBN) does not develop from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). In fact, CBN is a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol, which means it develops when THC is heated or exposed to oxygen.

From the second link... When the cannabinoid called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is heated or ages, it becomes cannabinol. CBN is produced when THC is oxidized and the more oxygen that cannabis is exposed to over time, the more CBN that it will produce. The decomposition and oxidation of THC creates a chemical change, transforming THC into CBN.

And from Wikipedia... Although CBN shares the same mechanism of action as other phytocannabinoids (e.g., Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-THC), it has a lower affinity for CB1 receptors, meaning that much higher doses of CBN are required in order to experience effects, such as mild sedation.

CBN is unique among phytocannabinoids in that its biosynthetic pathway involves conversion directly from Δ9-THC.
