Yup.. I have these types of spirals in both blue base glass and clear.

Actually you have it backward. The Westite Glass factory in Weston, WV had a fire that stopped their production. (Weston is about a 35/40 drive from Clarksburg.. uphill both ways! 🤣). The Akro Agate Company aquired all the molds Westite had in 1936. Thus focusing on glassware and childrens playsets as their production on marbles took a backseat and pretty much declined to nothing in the later 1930s as is evident by both the appearance and quality of marbles they did produce seasonally in the 1940s. Akros focus was on glassware in their last decade before they closed. .. and closed profitable. Akro Agate Company dissolved in Akron, Ohio, debt free, owing no taxes as a business. They were successful and closed their doors for good in good standing on Tuesday, April 24, 1951 with a final on~site auction and sale. The Akro Agate Company was profitable.

Light em up for the Memorial Day holiday 🇺🇸🚀💥

3/4 for Ric

Happy Easter

The two one inch on the right are the same as what you posted. They tricolor onyx oxblood and were shooters in #300 boxes earlier than the 40s. Some are green yellow white and ox, some are have blue instead of green. The two on the left are also one inch but don't show the clear base glass so considered opaque white and because they have both blue and green with a tan glass color instead of yellow plus oxblood they are also tricolor onyx oxblood but specials... as in tricolor special. The two in front are 5/8 tricolor special collector named "sky blue onyx oxblood". The clear base on both are opalescant. They can show white glass or the muddy color... white is a tough one to find in my experience as most all I've seen show the muddy glass color like the two Ric posted. I asked what size those he posted are because I have never seen any larger than 5/8 and one he posted looks quite a bit larger. As far as I know, those types are all dug. Good night 😴

That's not the same as the collector named skyblue onyx oxblood. Those 1" are akro and were often found in #300 art deco boxes as shooters. Sometimes opaque white bases and sometimes clear based like based like yours with white, blue yellow or sometimes green instead of blue. They are a tricolor onyx oxblood Agate. Not easy to find. Akro didn't make any marbles that nice after the late 30s really. They didn't make any spirals.. all Agate 'patch types' .. low quality, easy to make, no high maintenance cam driven arm to make spiral agates.. Just plain agates with a few colors everyone calls patches.

Looks like a flintie from here

Sky blue onyx oxblood... 'specials' What size are those? Never seen any other than 5/8

This is pretty old and interesting to read what you're all saying about the row of Akro labeled as cateyes being some handmades.
