m!b$ Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Now I'm wondering if my marble (see post #36) might not be Akro. It is on a clear base and the red is transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Take a look at my blue, yellow, and white helmet again. Steph thinks it might be akro. What do you guys think? Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 That Blue and Yellow sure does look Akro-ish color wise.. Thats kind of why i asked earlier how common are the Helmets to be opaque ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 It's the only opaque one I have. I didn't know they could be opaque until I read it on this board. Edna I've had it a long time and asked around at marble shows about it. Nobody has had a definitive answer. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I may have to vote akro too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks for posting that bag Dani, that is just one neat piece all together, with it being old Petroliana Advertising and Marbles together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm one of those collectors who had helmets in with the akro marbles for years. Then I moved them to vitro. I don't know about that marble. It doesn't look like my other helmets, but it doesn't look like any akro I have either. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 These likely could be Vitro imho. lol ...I hope I'm really digging that one at on the far left with the Yellow tail, that is killer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelnmarbleous Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Al, i knew if anyone had one of those bags it would be you lol ! Vitro Aquamarines With Oxblood Ok, so i know some people still don't think that Vitro had real Oxblood in them, but i have to disagree with this, i have a Vitro Aquamarine with real Ox, and yes it's real Oxblood, has anyone else seen this before ? and if so do they have pics to share ? Would it be ok to say that it is Rare ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelnmarbleous Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hmm, Translucent Oxblood ? Would it be the brown on some Vitro's ? ive never heard of translucent Oxblood.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Some of it looks brown. Some of it looks just like akro. Some of their brown is opaque. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ok, i was just wondering, because ive seen a few debates on the Trans Oxblood, but i must say i have a few Vitro's that ive wanted to say "This looks like it should be Ox" but only on my Vitro's... Seen only two with real Ox, and only one with real Ox on a Aquamarine, but i am sure there are more out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigafoose Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Vitro Ox just has a different shade than Akro Ox kind of hard to describe but I know it when I see it. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Any body who believes David McCullough didn't know how to make oxblood before the 2008 marbles, close your eyes and don't read. He made some gorgeous champions with oxblood..... just like akro ox. Want to see? Check out the thread McCaleb started on They Deserve Their Place.

sissydear Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Another thought, Lawrence Alley made oxblood too. I guess we should post some Alley's with ox on that thread about They deserve their place too. Now, don't look if it will upset you to know. LOL Oh, I forgot.

Steph Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I thought that "everybody" knew about Champ and Alley ox. Vitro ox isn't even surprising anymore. Pelt ox quit being surprising some time back. But did any of them have ox which wasn't an accidental byproduct of the coloring agents involved? For example, I've been noticing a lot of ox floating around near aqua shades. This seems likely accidental. To me. At present. IMHO. etc. etc. I'm figuring copper was used to make the aqua shade (just a guess - looking for confirmation or correction someday). With regard to "Vitro ox", there is some which doesn't hover around near aqua or green, right? But that kind doesn't look so much like Akro ox?

feelnmarbleous Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ok, i guess i been in the damn dark, because i did not know Champs had Ox, im a frigging swirl collector and never knew Is there any "Vitro ox" which doesn't seem to hover around near some aqua? Interesting question Steph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yes, there's oxblood on white based marbles with blue ribbons. Check out the buttermilk that Ron Shepherd gave me. I posted it again on the thread McCaleb started. there's another one there with blue and ox, in fact there are two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 HAHA This is funny, i was sitting here thinking i know i got a Vitro around here with Ox and it's not on Aqua, well it was on a Green-ish Aqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
