The Orange of these older marbles is just dazzling! My favorite Akro color is Orange which is kind of funny because I'm not much of an Orange fan anywhere else. But the Oranges in the two on this page (the other one being at the top of this page 2) are just electric. ⚡⚡⚡

Wow! Thanks for this explanation Fire! And for the Superman examples too 👀

I've only once sold my Akro, I think it was three or four Snakes. It was way early on in my collecting years, and I still regret it. I even traded a Baby Blue Snake after that . . . . severely regret that. I did not know. Since then, I've not sold any Akro. I'm sorry I don't have photos to show.

Thank you! Such a great time and great atmosphere, you're right about that in your earlier post 😊 that was the best part. I'm looking forward to the next marble show I can get to.

Here are a little over half of my new marbles from the show 🤩 I haven't taken good photos of the other half, but once I do I'll share a group photo of them also. Thank you to Chuck Sumner and Marshal Wilson for a great marble show!

1. a Powder Blue, Brown, Orange, and Yellow corkscrew 21/32" 2. an Oxblood Spiral, hard to photograph 5/8" Happy Akro Friday y'all

I have a couple Fridays worth of new-to-me Akros to share here LOL. 1. Baby Blue Prize Name with a horsehair 11/16" 2. Pistachio Green on a transparent Orange base 19/32" 3. a piece of Akro cullet in the shape of a heart ❤️ 4. Orange, Red, and Pink 5/8" 5. an Orange Ringer 5/8"
