I know it'll be to hard to return even though they except returns.

Looks like there's Vaseline glass in there? You see straw colored glass?

If it is an annealing factory fracture it's still going to be too rare to return. I'll know real quickly when I run my fingernail over it. But, could it be a cut-off mark like they said? I'll keep it either way. I don't know what cutoff marks look like. I think I'll message them for more insight. "Early" Akro Agate corkscrew marbles from the transitional period (early to mid-1920s) may have a creased pontil (cut line) at one or both poles where the glass stream was sheared. Later, fully machine-made Akro corkscrews typically have seamless poles. Locating the Pontil Marks Pontil marks, also referred to as cut lines or seams in the context of early machine-made marbles, are found at the poles of the marble. Poles: These are the points on opposite ends of the marble where the marble's internal pattern (the "corkscrew" swirl) appears to converge or terminate. Fascinating...

Sounds good. They swear it's perfect. They said it's only irregularities are two bubbles and a cutoff mark. Even if it's a annealing factory fracture, it's still a very worthy marble. I don't know about early Akro cutoff marks. These aren't falling out of trees. I think it's going to be fantastic. Clarksburg WV, circa 1925-1935. 3/4" or (.75)" inch. Mint (9.9). No chips, dings, scratches, cracks, etc. The only visible surface marks aspect to note are the melted edges of 2 tiny bubbles & a cut-off mark (the small line in yellow area seen in 2nd photo)- NOT flaws!! EXCELLENT OVERALL MINT 9.9 CONDITION

Looks like it and I see eyelashes.

I gave it to my uncle for an early Xmas present.

It's a little anemic. If I didn't have a couple, I would offer 70 and see what happens. I do like the size and the base glass has a somewhat of a shimmer effect.

Looks great... https://www.ebay.com/itm/397367134768

I could have grabbed this one but I sat on my hands and someone else bought it during the summer/late spring.

I was thinking more of these 2. I know the limeade oxbloods are much more common.

.62

I know that they are out there because I got a silver green hue oxblood a while back. I knew right away that it was different looking. It's partially uv. Are there any others floating around? We really don't know what was made back then. Akro could have made limited addition made marbles.

And that kid's face looks familiar 🤔

Pretty sweet!

Google says they existed: "Yes, Akro Agate produced "Egg Yolk Oxblood" marbles which incorporated lime green or yellow-green glass. This specific type is highly collectible and known for its distinctive colors. "

I looked up some akro oxblood archives and only found this. I guess it's some kind eggyolk lime oxblood corkscrew. A combination of these. It's not UV.

Don't know.

Thank you Akroorka. These are great big marbles! One is about as big as a golf ball. I thinks it's a early CAC, maybe. The 2nd biggest looks like a Greiner but I don't know. I'm pretty sure the other 2 are Germans of some sort with the colorful one having a stran of UV. Magnificent!!! They are little beautiful time machines. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!!

What?
