Black ashtrays is a general term. Akro made many ashtrays in many different sizes and shapes.....
Here is a Black Akro Ashtray, part of another company’s line of popup cigarettes novelties.
I have had this one for some time, the cigs were more like a buck 50 back then---yuck.
You can backlight this glass and it will shine through—as black—only black.
Akro—On!!
It would be refered to a a guinea type at the least.
Lots of these are produce by a variety of folks. This one is a bit odd with all of the wear that it shows.
It is worth putting in your pocket and bringing to a show.
Marble--On!!
This is a nice example of a marble that I have never seen before.
You may look at the oxblood and overlook the white.
It is quite a nice white--deep and rich.
This one was made with a torch involved imho and my first impression was a "Bulgarian".
Do not get me wrong--I just love it--it is just not that old.
This is one that I would not mind holding in hand--very cool!
I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.
Check for a signature here.
Marble--On!!
Great stuff here shiroaiko,
A great share!
I get lazy too--today I am quite lazy but my fingers still work.
I was never a typist--click, click, click, one by one😁.
Several companies made "Corals"--they are pretty cool to hold and look at--I think that Champion made a version as well.
I could be wrong but---I just like-em and never really cared who made them.
Marble--On!!
Interesting stuff here my marble collecting friend.
The chunk that is missing tells a tale that I cannot decipher.
This one may be made from stone??
Does it feel cold to the touch vs a glass marble?
Marble—On!!
I just love a dark cobalt blue on a white base.
I did my bathroom in these colors quite a few years back--I still love it.( it did used to be brown--yuk)
I would consider this one an Alley Agate but as always--more opinions are needed and appreciated.
Marble--On!!
This is all desigend to be fun here.
The trading should be done via PM however.
I know, I am guilty here as well--sometimes we/us just get worked up and forget the rules.
Marble--On!!
Akro imho.
These are usually found as a Patch type marble.
This one is more than likely an "experimental" (a dug marble).
The AV in these can get quite heavy with coverage--yours is a tad weak--but a definate "keeper".
I apprecaite all opinions and hope to see some more opinions with this one.
Great find!!
Marble--On!!
