"Happy Akro Friday" A few Akro Salesman boxes, I believe at least 2 are backfilled if not all ??

Yeah !! Is that the one you first posted fishin pics of with the Crappie?? Probably freezes solid during the hard of Winter ?? The big Crappie really turn on the bite in a local lake here. I know usually they turn off in the Winter and become lethargic elsewhere around here but not at Silver lake for some reason. The perch really turn on too. Not big fish but a good time & good eats, way better than sitting at home and mildewing. A few links for Silver lake, only a 15 min. drive from here.

A vitro Parrot is a white base w/ @ least four other colors. Not that great on vitro I.D. but those are the qualifiers for a parrot, around the larger 7/8ths size. Size is a real factor in I.D.ing these I guess. Easter eggs have 5 colors also but are generally around 5/8ths & have that purplish pink colored patch, thus the name "Easter egg" "Not" a vitro aficionado I just know a few (I think??)

Mmm .. Buttery .. .. x2 .. !!

x 2, Agree w/ Liam, Akro slag

"I'm" seeing Akro as well ??

Nice one William !! A real piece of Americana !!

I used to hang out with a bottle digger named Bill who has since passed. He had a lot of old whiskey jugs, elixirs, embossed, and Dr. Pepper. I did learn one thing about Dr. pepper hanging out w/ him, the oldest original soda pop in the U.S.

There is av in the black ribbons just the heavy pocket wear makes it hard to see. Only one marble that looks like that, well out of my reach or at least what I'd pay for one "It is the real deal" the seller is Sami Arim the one who wrote the new book " Peltier Marbles an American Legend" I can't make out any green Dave, probably just the camera angle.

The clock is tickin, Hmm, last day, let's see ?? Marbaholic or Fishaholic ?? The tension builds

Alright man, Fantastic Tommy !! Ya got some real beauties !!

"Happy Thüringen Thursday" A slightly banded Carmel Swirl ( Both measure around 25/32nds) I believe this to be a Custard Swirl, at least that's what I call it.

Phil McGlothin, sadly he passed on May 10 2019 LINK : https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/4395244/Phillip-McGlothin

Nice Vitro's Liam, after many years I'm finally starting to get into them a bit more, they made some beautiful examples for sure !!

Just caught this new vid Stephen Bahr put out on YouTube last night & thought you'd enjoy it & it may answer a couple questions on glass & it's production for you as well as raise some, only a bit of marble production footage but some very historic clips on glass manufacture & uses !!

"Happy West Virginia Wednesday"

No wonder I'm only finding one at a time Josh, you've cornered the market Although being here on the West coast may also play a role in it. Nobody here even knows what they are but a few I gander ?? I do have to admit I did run into a bunch of them some years ago and paid then no nevermind, "just some more cats" I thought, so, live & learn !!

Yesir !! ..... .....

It may have av. Dennis but w/ a damaged surface it'll make it nearly impossible to see even w/ a loupe.

I see some nice NLR's Dennis Peltier NLR Burnt Christmas tree Looks like an NLR wasp or Tiger ?? is there aventurine in the black ribbons ?? Superman The rest look to all be Pelt. Rainbo's including the yellow one. You certainly have a good start !!

So am I !! Confusing to say the least !!

They vary Brad, I have some w/ 6, I think they call those 6 finger, not to be confused w/ 6 finger Vitro (although the "name game" can get that way)

Slipped my mind !! But I will definitely be going to have a look see.
