A common error on Akroware Brother I don't have any pix of the backwards error type but I do have a few different types that were stamped the correct way. Here's a little different one. And another from the bottom of a cigarette cup. Still another from the bottom of a flower pot.

Most probably don't even know what this is, a VVHTF Pelt Frosted Pine Needle. LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186136081671?hash=item2b56933507%3Ag%3Ag4QAAOSwjfplOZVM&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid= MC LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/24936-peltier-pine-needles-gallery/

Found an oxblood cigarette cup for your ashtray, used to be around a thousand Akroware items on this site @ a time until the C19 hit. If you message them via ebay they probably still have just about anything you'd want Tommy LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166405005774?hash=item26be82e1ce:g:5BoAAOSwpnFlPqNd

"Welcome to Marble Connection Herb" Anxious to see what you have, feel free to post away !!

x2, leaning Jabo here too.

A matching cigarette cup goes inside the ashtray, definitely akro, they come as box sets. LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225706687636?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOopShEKxQPpBJHPUFCpRKvHcYt-wiHGkSNvh_X7yu3-Ny7hB7c7usbw

Two different games of "Skip Ball" for this "Sundays Best" my favorite game of all, reminds me of being a kid playing this @ the County fair, with the smell of cotton candy, popcorn & beer sausages wafting through the air

Insane

Although I think ? yours is Akro you can Check the bottom of the foot, Imperial made a "Cornucopia" i.e. "horn of plenty" that looked exactly like the Akro version except for a slight difference the foot. Both are beautiful. This ones Imperial,. I'm lookin for the makers mark, hang on a second. A few different Imperial glass stamps.

":Welcome to Marble Connection Alyssa" Leaning foreign made, however it may be a whacked out Peltier. Definitely not an Akro. Akro corkscrews resemble their name "Corkscrew" here's a picture of a few to help ya out a little. From & with permission of the (MCSA) Marble Collectors of America, website LINK :: https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ The most common and easily recognizable Akro Agate marble is the Corkscrew. This is a variegated-stream marble whose design is unique to Akro Agate. Two or more streams of colored glass were allowed to enter through the marble-making machine’s shearing mechanism at the same time. Because the different colors were layered as they came out of the furnace and because the colors were of different densities, they created separate strata in the glass stream as it entered the shearing mechanism. Just before the shearing mechanism in the Akro machinery there was a small cup with a hole in the bottom. The glass stream entered the cup from the top and passed through the hole in the bottom into the shearing mechanism. If the cup was spinning, then a corkscrew was created. If the cup was not spinning, then a patch was created. The number of different colored spirals in the corkscrew, or the number of different color patches was determined by the number of nozzles that had glass flowing through them when the glass stream was created. 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). Two-colored white-based Prize Names are the most common corkscrew type. This is followed by two-colored color-based Prize Names, Onyx, Spirals, three-color Specials, Aces, four-color Specials, and five- color Specials. Although I have heard of six color corkscrews, I have never actually seen an example where the sixth color was not actually a blend of two of the other colors. If a true six-color Special exists, then it is extremely rare. Any corkscrew over 1” is extremely rare. You should be very aware that the color and design combinations of corkscrews is almost limitless. You could easily amass a collection of several hundred corkscrews, of which no two would be the exact same color combination or pattern.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Paula" Well I don't see a makers mark, unfortunately. I would however call that a marble. Paperweights have a flat spot so they'll stay in one spot. Beautiful marble though. Again "Welcome"

x2, seeing Bennington also

x3, Not a Bifurcate, base looks opaque white to me

First freeze was here last night, supposed to be below freezing for the next 4or 5 days.

I'll pray right now Avva & will continue to do so 🙏 Blessings on you and your Family. I know it can be overwhelming when you're in the middle of it & it seams there's nothing you can do. Keep your head up, everything will work out ok

Oop, you're right I keep thinkin Ohio

You'll have to excuse the Akro, I didn't want to waste a good pic for this "West Virginia Wednesday"

Found these pix in one of my folders, not positive but I think it may be foreign, something is steering me away from Vitro ?? Certainly a weird mib !! & yes, all the pix are of the same marble though one side doesn't resemble a cat, if it really is a cat ?? 🐱

G.O.A.T. Pelthead ....

#1 (L) is a Peltier Rainbo, #2 center is Jabo, the one on the right does appear to be an Akro IMO
