LOL @ the last one. How fun.

????????

.... hearing you ....

Nice capture of the glow, Winnie. And Peerless-like striations.

I think so too. If not, I sure would be interested in learning what they could be.

Oh that is so charming. What a unique piece of history.

The Christmas Run belongs in Greg's spring colors thread.

These are Ron B's.

Sorry, Hoody. I don't understand the question.

Nice!

Here's one I'm SURE to remember when I need it. MBAQANGA noun pl. mbaqangas a South African dance music

Where do you see it as available? This is the page I remember from some time back. https://trademarks.justia.com/858/34/aakro-agates-shoot-straight-as-a-kro-flies-85834165.html

Another nice one. And wow at the lightshow.

Is that a lutzy drizzle in the right center? I saw one lutzy thread in mine -- in the middle of a ribbon of oxblood -- and was thinking I better try to get a picture of that.

More good information. Great to have names. Should I try to be open-minded about this? Celebrate the renewal of the trademark? From whom did they purchase the trademark?

I remember the backwards version of the Big Mac jingle. (And I don't mind stale fries ... they go along with the shriveled pickle and rehydrated onions.)

That's my best guess. Also I wonder if they were sold in Imperial boxes.

I'd say it was made in a Tri-Onyx Agate run ... so it should be called a Popeye. That's a good example for the discussion of paradoxes created by collector names.

Coolness! So much gaze-able beauty. And I'll say good chance on the bottom one. Moss Agates did occur with white as a second color. Looking at the official Akro names which could be responsible for the "ringers" with their whispy white, it seems most likely that they were moss agates, and that some just looked really nearly clear inside, leading them to be confused with popeyes.

Ohhhhh! VERY interesting. Still more than a little disturbing that someone apparently unaffiliated with the old marble makers reregistered the Akro trademark. But very interesting to see marbles sold under that name.

That blue! Must remember that blue. Must remember that blue. Must remember that blue. And the periwinkle.
