Part of a nice score I made last week. All akros in this bunch, 2 double ingots, 2 red onyx corks, 5 prizenames, 2 big ades, 3 patches, a crow & one snake. All mint except the blue snake & the crow. I was very pleased, it had been a while since I had go any nice mibs, this part of over 100 varying manufactures I got in this lot.

I got this 4" monster in remembrance of my best Friend & Baby Brother Tony, he passed at 43. Had tattoos of scorpions on both forearms, one black one red representing his astrological sign. Now one of the guardians of my mibs. "Love ya Bro"

Sweeeeet !!

"Happy Akro Friday"

Still a nice shot Jason, I've deleted thousands of substandard blurry pics, but I kept some too. I think we're more critical on ourselves than anyone else is ??

Nice set Liam

Yeah man, clean machines

Believe me Ric, if I had to duplicate those Sulphide pics I took I don't think I could do it again. I canned well over 100 retakes before I got the camera to focus on the figure instead of the surface of the glass, if I remember right it had a lot to do with a combination of the correct wattage on the bulb & neutral background. I have to say, Sulphides are probably not only the most difficult marble I've ever had to photograph but the most difficult thing I've ever had to photograph period.

I googled "Summit slag glass Oscar the lion" says & shows it's a paperweight not a lid like the Westmorland or Imperial pieces. According to the V circle stamp showing on the bottom it is "Summit" LINK : https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=AOaemvK3GLlMzzlVrgRtvwNfEIPgbXQxow:1629990734871&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=summit+slag+glass+oscar+the+lion&sa= LINK : https://www.ddoty.com/makermarks.html

Yessir, Deeeliciouse !! Mmm Mm !!

Wish I could get more like that one Willian, good show, a little recoup from is better than none. Make for a great day at the float fishing (hint, hint)

Don't feel like the "Lone Ranger" made the same mistake myself, let me join in ... ... now we can share the pain ... Nice pair of twin tri stage you got for the recoup at that yard sale the other day Bill Outstanding examples !! Oop !! better post a mib !!

A few I picked up the other day, better individual pics are forthcoming (maybe??) I think the green might be an Imperial, sorry for the slip !!

"Happy Thüringen Thursday"

I believe the lion may be a Summit Glass Co. Product called "Oscar the lion" intended as a paperweight instead of a lid?? Not aware if Imperial & summit are linked or not ?? I googled "Imperial glass lion" & a slightly different looking lion was pictured & being used as a lid ?? I have to admit they are very similar except for the foot. & intended use.

Thanks for the link Joep !!

Another great "West Virginia Wednesday"

Oxblood in the mix, I've incorporated my Akroware into my collection for some time, no rhyme or reason ??

A landscaping "Super Genius"
