Thanks for providing the facts on this earlier this year....at the time I was unsure so glad I posted about it then. Don't think I would have dropped that amount of cash unless they were legitimate and VHTF....would had to have been a way more affordable price than that, too. Still have people trying to pass some off as the real deal on Ebay 🤔

Ha! The one attached, the guy wants at least 100 bucks more! Crazy 😬

I didn't score any marbles today, but had to have this unique 1940's toy. Original box, papers plus the toy itself is in excellent shape. Great story too. Vintage at it's best! 😁

I think it was discussed earlier in this thread regarding gearshift knobs....I grabbed a couple of pics of the 2 that I saw months back in Winona, Minnesota at an antique mall there. The consensus I believe was that Akro possibly never produced gearshift knobs. I didn't have the attendant open this cabinet as they were pretty busy with other customers but so here they are. Thought I would share. It's not a suprise that these are still sitting here after all these months, pretty pricey! Sorry for the glare in the pic of the gearshift knob still attached to its hardware, it was a little difficult because these displays are crammed full of stuff.

You got that right, that's some nice stuff 👍

This would have been an all weather marble challenge for sure! Too bad I didn't have any with me. Up in Winona, Minnesota treasure hunting...sitting here stuck in Culver's parking lot 😐

That was a fun day for sure...We all clocked around noon that day (was before they fired 2nd shift back up), had a cookout with games such as horseshoes, ring toss, etc. I do recall for the group photo that the Director of Operations's wife was doing the camera work, but once we got situated on the ball diamond, she realized she had forgotten the camera!! They lived right in town so she ran home to get it but took almost a half hour for what should have been a few minutes! Found out she made a "stop" on the way back! Think we lost a couple people for the picture while waiting but fun times!

Nice, Nice, Nice!! I'm so excited for you, Mojo! Find it treasure hunting or buy them online? Coincidence you picked up the exact same kinds of ashtrays I found? 😊

Whoops, they are...guess I thought Akro had a similar mib?

Happy Akro Friday!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Still think anything short of a miracle but it's uplifting to see the State is getting involved 👍

You should check out Stephen Barrs videos on mibs, great information!

Lol, I just picked up a half gallon of what's called "Tripolitan", a mint chocolate chip combo. It's awesome. But yeah, nice mibs, keep them coming 👍

Great examples, if anyone had any tucked away somewhere, it would be you! Thank you again for the information and the response....always appreciated from you and others 😊

Liking it, Ric!

Absolutely love the first one...the way the air bubbles circulate around the veins, cool!

This could prove interesting in Minnesota 😊

Yep! I remember him saying that an individual can study many days a week, hours each day, for years and still be lucky to identify 60%-70% of what they see. That's just an idea of how much is really out there! Love this stuff 😊
