  1. Most collectors believe that Akro sparklers should have a minimum of five colors. And those colors are usually pretty bright, as you can see in Alan's picture. Similar / same structure but fewer and more somber colors usually are Master sunbursts . . . Akro sparkler with a lot of white:
  2. Welcome from an old woman who likes screened porches, good coffee, and marbles. You can keep the children (sorry)!
  3. Also the Ultra run . . . (hey Mike)
  4. It's nice to have marble mail waiting at home! Couple of favorite snakes . . .
  5. Interesting to follow from the sidelines, too --
  6. Third marble down might be a blue mica --
  7. I am in the vicinity of that era. [going off to look for my Roy Rogers cap guns . . . ]
  8. Great old bag! 6th set looks like old agates (German). The first single one in the 7th set (orangy-reddish one) could be a carnelian . . .
  9. Yup. That's why a few of the old marble-making sites -- where they did mix their own formulas -- have wound up as Superfund sites today. Buncha stuff in the ground . . .
  10. I've forgotten too. But a small, narrow "European" keeps slithering around somewhere in my brain . . .
  11. Looking for photos like this.
  12. Welcome, ManofKent -- pay no attention to the marbleuniverse sucking you in . . . it doesn't hurt a bit!
  13. I only got one (also from Alan) but it ain't goin' nowhere. I suspect that's true about all the other ones Joe let go of . . .
  14. I've gone over a fairly large number of glass formulas from Akro Agate and don't remember ever seeing it in any, but I'll check. But also my source only goes up to the1930s for marbles.
  15. Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
  16. I thought "hmmmm . . . how can I wake up this thread since I seem to have put it to sleep . . ." And then I saw the baby red-ruffed lemur on the National Zoo's website, and thought "Well, it's random and it's not marbles, but . . . oh heck, that is a lovely -- if somewhat spooky -- green . . .
  17. I'm sorry, jeeperman, you're going to have to send me this one. ASAP. Thank you.
  18. Send me these two, please. I thank you.
