  1. So that's a no to my question?

    This Akro

    Here are some pics under water. I am a bachelor and it took me forever to find something to use lol. I also think that part of the problem is that I have terrible photography skills.

    This Akro

    Here are a few more pics. The cork on the yellow definitely isn't just brushed on the surface, but goes in to the marble as well. I think it may be clear glass and the blue was just too close to the same density and blended with the base. I could be completely off base with that as well :-)

    This Akro

    I definitely think it's akro, as both poles of the cork have that distinct akro look. I almost want to say it looks like a popeye without the wispy white.

    Guinea?

    Here are a few more pics. I don't see a seam, but it almost looks like it is missing chunks of the top layer of glass. Would the seam be deep?

    This Akro

    I can't tell if it is a blue base glass or if it is mixed in with a clear base. I used a flashlight for a couple of picks rather than a flash, hoping it would show in pics.

    Guinea?

    It's pretty beat up, measures 11/16"
  8. Did the 4 Color ever make production? I have a bunch of 3 color, but this is the only one I have that's 4.
  9. I would guess that this would fall under a "fruit salad" type, but it seems like a lot of ribbons for a pelt.
  10. Is this a mica? Measures 31/32" and i can definitely see flakes of something in it.
  11. Would polishing or buffing it give it that oily look?
  12. I'm pretty sure it's contemporary, but handmades are tough for me. Measures just over 1-5/8"

    Today's Find

    I would think ribs or spinal column of a big whale. Also a dinosaur femur

    Today's Find

    I figured it has to be some sort of newer item (I have read up on scrimshaw before) as most pieces are repros. Still a very cool addition to my solitaire boards. Had a few green fancy benningtons with it, too, which I don't have too many of

    Today's Find

    Scrimshaw solitaire board that came with 24 benningtons.
  16. This one is tough. I thought at first it was a mist or banded opaque, but when I shill a light in it, there looks to be a ribbon core. It is very tough to capture in the pics.
  17. 2 hours left and still pretty good deals :-)

    New?

    Normally I would automatically think this is new, but it doesn't look like a vacor, and the blue looks whispy. Measures 5/8". Is it jabo?
  19. The fact that it says Paris manufacturing would date it after 1982. I believe parrots were only made through the 60's
  20. Pablo Escobar: El patron del mal on netflix. I don't speak a word of Spanish but it is an awesome show
  21. But I am going to ask anyway. 11/16" and has a swirl at one pole and what kinda looks like a pontil on the other.
