Steph Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I toy with a top 5 list from time to time. Bumblebees are definitely in there. Simple classic. And then I always think "Akro Superman" ... but then I think "Akro Lifesaver" ... and if I have two Akros in my top 5, that's one less spot for another maker. But I still have wiggle room since I haven't thought of #4 or #5 yet. What would be your top 5 ... or 10 ... or whatever number you want ....

disco005 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would have to say Akro Spirals and Moss Agates top my list for sure I always keep a sharp eye out for the elusive Pearlized Patch though, or the Wedding Cake, one of these days I'll find one or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 1. TRUE Akro Experimentals (of which there are very few varieties and limited number - despite some seller claims to the contrary). 2. Complex contemporaries that require significant preparation, talent and time to create. 3. Better Ravenswoods 4. Rare Akros 5. Most large mint handmades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal3 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 These three would top my list: - 'Leighton' type handmade faceted pontil slags - Unusual onionskins (odd colors or cores) - Under rare Akros, hybrid Popeyes for sure Hey Alan, have you done an Akro experimental thread before?

Steph Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ah, good choice. See, that's what happens ... whenever I start my list, someone comes along and reminds me of a great group I left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
