    Here are two images of an Akro Milky @7/8". 
    I love to see the guts of any marble; it is just another form of id in our world
    I just received this marble in a trade from a valued friend.
    Note the intense opaqueness of the white---- and it is very white.
    Akro “Milkies” imho were some of the worst oxbloods ever made and some of the worst made by Akro. 
    The quality control seems like it was bypassed in favor of production. 
    A very minty, with no factory defects, Akro “Milky” is a thing to cherish imho.
    Alley made one quite similar—the quality is just much better and the swirling is off the charts.
    The colors are spot on with both imho.
    Marble—On!!

    Thank for posting these images. I see what you mean about how solid it is. Doesn't look like any light could pass through that. I guess my marble will remain a mystery for now. Thanks again.

  10. Interesting oxblood

    I really appreciate all the input on this one. My first thoughts on this was Akro milky as that was the closest example I could find while browsing through photos online. But the similarities weren't close enough for me to decide with certainty. I. know the patterns on the milkies is highly variable but this oxblood pattern just didn't match any of the milky examples I could find. I dont own any Akro milkies to compare side by side. If someone out there that has one would backlight it would be cool to see a comparison. Anymore input is always welcome and appreciated!

  14. Ebay auction promotion

    in General Marble & Glass Chat

    Posted

    I'm unclear of the rules on this subject and didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Are we allowed to link/promote our ebay auctions here? I'm not really a seller but I have a surplus of Akron roller clay marbles that I'd love to put in the hands of other collectors that wanted them. Honestly I'd prefer to trade but I'm new to the marble world so I haven't earned any trust  YET. So as of now I might try and auction off a few lots of them and see how it goes...

    Remember the pic of PPP's I posted on "Peltier Tuesday" earlier, look @ the dark lines on the patches, it's on a lot of PPP's. I think you even have some dark outline on the one you posted there ??

    I think the color combinations are nearly endless, almost like Pelt Rainbos, another pic of PPP's from West Coast Dave on AAM

    Thanks Chad I appreciate the input and the examples. I can see what you are talking about. I had seen some pictures of a ppp with the same color combination without that darker border which created doubt in what was looking at. I'm so new to collecting that I'm easily confused. But I am learning and enjoying the process.
