The Nickel Guy

Yes, this is another stand out in the crowd, a little played with I suppose but still nice enough for me. I always wanted it to be Oxblood but I don't think it is. My only one like this.

These three are single examples I have. They are only 1/2 inch or smaller. I guess 2 of them at least qualify as "pee wees"

Here is one marble, my only one like this, that has a transparent red snake corkscrew over a green opaque base. (Two views) On some of these images you will see the reflection of my TV or the window over it on the surface. Sorry, it looks almost like damage.

These Red and Yellow Corkscrews are clearly different. Four of one type with a transparent red snake over an opaque yellow base (notice the red bleeding into the yellow on the one) and two with a more opaque or perhaps somewhat translucent red snake. I see many other marble companies used this color combination or close to it anyway. I wondered where the nickname Ketchup and Mustard came from and does that nickname apply here to either of these. Heck, I hope these are AKRO? Marbles are sooooooooooo confusing!

I guess it is still an Vitro "All Red" ?

Great assortment of marbles Chad! Thank you!

These are pretty in my eye and well made. Opaque Black corkscrew on Opaque Peachy Caramel Brown Base. Delicious! I really don't know what color that would be.

A very mellow Green and Blue Opaque Corkscrew on a White Base. I don't think those straight lines are cracks but I will take a look and come back to note if they are. EDIT This was driving me nuts so I had to get it put and look. Sure enough, it has cracks. :-(

Three Orange (with just a trace of brown) Solid color Corkscrews on an Opaque White Base. That one on the left might show some light through the white? I forgot to check but the color makes me think it might be translucent.

Earlier (previous post) I posted a White and Yellow Corkscrew on a clear base. Here it appears with another with similar color combination that is less defined and also a White Corkscrew on a clear base.

White and Yellow Corkscrew on a clear base. Small bubbles. A light blue corkscrew in a bubbly transparent clear base. Not to be confused with an Akro Agate "Blue Auger" since the interior is open.

A few green corkscrews on a clear base.

A couple yellow corkscrews on a clear base.

Al Oregon Amazing ~ Just amazing !

Then I have two decent Transparent Vaseline Glass Base with white opaque corkscrews.

Same situation here, Wannabees and maybe a couple or few that make true corkscrews. Transparent Blue Colored Base Opaque White.

Sometimes they just don't corkscrew enough, I might have two out of this handful that are Transparent Green Colored Base Opaque White Corkscrews. The others are those slugs I talked about in post 1.

Some of these are Akro Agate Transparent Red Colored Base Opaque White swirls I think. The white just lays across the surface for a stretch and only curves a bit. (top ones) The bottom are Transparent Red Colored Base Opaque White Corkscrews.

Ponjong Thanks for posting. I have two or three like that one you found. I like it! One on left looks like a fracture but it is not. These would be Colored transparent base with opaque colored swirls. I can't exactly say that snake is white. If I could name it, I would call mine Root Beer Floats but I think another marble has already claimed that name.

This Black Line All Red has a not so common flesh colored, sandy tan patch with a sliver of orange/red like pole on one end and a golden orange on the other

An All Red with Red and Black poles. Both have a little slice of yellow.

Thanks for joining in Mojo. I don't think any of those I posted glow under a UV light. Those are awesome!

Two Opaque White Base and solid colored corkscrews. One is yelloe and the other a bit of an orange yellow and it is a little smaller.

A mix of Opaque White Base and solid green and translucent colored corkscrews.

Opaque White Base and solid black colored corkscrews. One might be a bit purple, one black is larger. Color sets it slightly apart from others maybe?
