The two I have pictured don't have fractures either but the majority do, just like the majority of Superman corks. I had to go through dozens before I found some in minty shape w/o fractures and that hadn't been polished, I did keep one that was polished because it was so big.

Onyx above ; "Ace" refers to the translucent milky base glass in the OP IMO MCSA ID reference Corkscrews are identifiable as being two or more spirals of color that rotate around the marble from one pole to the other, but do not intersect. Different color combinations and designs were marketed by Akro Agate under a variety of names: Prize Name (two opaque colors), Special (three or more opaque colors), Ace (one opaque color and translucent milky white), Spiral (transparent clear base with colored spiral), Onyx (transparent color base with opaque white spiral). In addition, other names have been applied by children and collectors over the years: Snake (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass is on the surface and just below it), Ribbon (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass goes almost to the center of the marble), “Ades” (types of Aces with fluorescent base glass), and Popeye (a specific type of Special commonly found in Popeye marble boxes).

One of my most valued & treasured possessions, we lived in the house my Grandfather built, only about 1.5 miles from the single room school my Mother attended as a child. Long since converted into a home, I wish she was still with us so she could show me where they played mibs and the location of the outhouses. Not that I could get passed all the No Trespassing signs but ya never know. Well, will wonders never cease, I googled the old school and a picture came up w/ the history, I can't believe it !! My Mothers' generation as well as mine & me all went to school w/ members of the Vannatta Family, what a trip !! Of course that school had been empty for years, I can remember it being that way when I was a child before it was converted into a home sometime after I graduated high school.

Here is a vid of Mathew polishing some old Germans on his homemade polisher. I'll post this link and his home link which will include his Email as a possible resource in getting what you need.

The trans. green base might be the same just two different runs, or like ya said the flash made em look different ??

What appears to be green is where the black overlapped the yellow, here's a pic w/ one of mine doing the same thing, the larger one also has just a bit of it.
