I find something about the dark green one especially appealing.

I clicked on them too and noticed the bad links. Then I check the date. Old thread bumped for a new question. By the way, the Washington State ID's I know of who have a connection to Pavcraz are: youhave2bid2win conny3706

Person operating out of Maine (last I heard) who sold boxes on ebay with Akro logos and other company's marks, including Christensen Agate. Often used cagey language but was caught on occasion outright lying. The company marks are not that very well done, especially not when you see them side by side with real, but they have still on occasion confused some collectors with years of experience. One example of a time when he was caught dead to rights for being involved in the creation of the packaging and not just someone who himself was duped was after he bought some dug Akros and they ended up in a counterfeit Akro bag. He has a connection with someone in Washington state who sells recently made ceramic marbles as antique handmades.

An antique popeye! That's great! I know you're LOL-ing but it's not out of the realm of possibility! The akro ad writers did compare Akro spirals to latticinios. ( :

Looks like a real and rare one to me. The contents aren't what I might have expected so I'm curious about whether it was backfilled. I'm pretty sure I recognize the box though.

Thanks!

National Line Rainbo I'll add that to my list of abbreviations now.

There are some other abbreviations here: Definitions If you can think of any which aren't there but might oughta be, let me know and I can add.

Christensen Agate Company At least I think that's what it usually is. Some might use it for Champion Agate Company.

I LOVE this glimpse into the language and classifications which were in use when mibology was just coming into its own. Ronnie, thank you very much for these pix. By the way, I've seen some terminology which was used in the 1940's and 1950's by Berry Pink. I think that there would be people today taking exception to it too or at least noting how different it was from names we use now. Anyway, even I don't post it in every thread, I'm reading your notes with interest. Thanks again!

Wow. Pretty.

Possibly because of things like this box? ??

My guess would be Asian.

I'm not sure about the big long name to it. Not sure what the "chocolate" is. The Limeade part I recognize. The Oxblood part I recognize. But I don't remember ever seeing another one described with Chocolate on the front. I wonder if they're rare. Or if possibly they're not as rare as they sound .... I mean ... I wonder if maybe people sell them without thinking about mentioning the extra color. If you just keep an eye out for lemonade oxbloods might you find one with brown which someone didn't think to label "chocolate"? Here's a copy of the pic for convenience in case anyone else wants a peek.

This is the marble you have in mind? http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/marbles-mint-4-akro-chocolate-135124014

Where have you heard of such a beast? I'm not familiar with it. ( :

A peerless patch can have oxblood. Oxblood is not that uncommon in turquoise glass. About price ... sorry I'm not up on Peerless Patch prices with or without oxblood.

Ratzilla!

You're giving a lot of credit to whatever that little lump in the auction is. That's very nice of you. The auction looks like a playground rock to me.

"This is in great condition. These pictures do not show its true beauty."

aiyiyi.

That's neat, Ric. Thanks for showing us your loot.
