@marbomanBeautiful Spirals! Happy Akro Friday y'all! My favorite in this group is that last one, with that baby Blue stripe.

Thank you! It would be really cool if that Blue one had Ox, but I don't think it does. I'll take a closer look when I get home tonight 🧐 @Tommy Well darn, I even got my lighted 30x22mm loupe out, no such luck. No Oxblood.

For Akro Friday! The first one is 11/16", the second is 23/32", and I'm pretty sure that last one, the Blue is 5/8"

Wow Melissa! What is this one? Is that a transparent blue base? What a cool looking MK 🤩

It is 3/4"

@Roberto That spinning display is AMAZING, especially for the lutz, so good. Here are my Sunday best, I took so many photos of my larger Spirals this morning and here are my two favorite Sunday photos, both Onyx.

Woo hoo!! It's an Akro party ❤️ I especially like that bigger size Black and White in the upper right.

It's Akro Friday ❤️

So cool, immediately made me think of the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys and logos

😅 Love it! That really is a gorgeous marble.

Happy Akro Friday! All 5/8"

Hahaha! 😄Yes! Perfect. I never realized.

Akro, A Yellow cork on a transparent Orange base! The only one I have, and the only one I've seen, pretty neat.

This is so very sad. I really enjoyed his marble questions and of course the following photos and discussions. I will miss his quirky sense of humor here too. RIP RAR 🔥

It's almost Akro Friday 🤩 A UV Spiral 15/16" ** EDIT - Well, that's it, I've done lost my mind. I posted this exact marble only 20 days ago

Wow. Super clean, makes you wonder how a marble can last in such good condition for almost 150 years. Great photos !!

Omgosh. Now I can never confidently buy a Guinea 😧 If ever presented the chance to lol Those are amazing!

Haha! Completely agree . . . . never ending. Also agree that the color combo in this post is very rare. Nice find!

A UV Spiral 15/16" ! Happy Akro Friday everyone 🤩

Love it! I also have the Major Award 😄

Christmas!

I only have a few handmades, I'm certainly far from an expert on them, but I've never seen this, so cool!

I very much do! We certainly did have a great exchange and thank you! Wishing you the same 🎅 🌲😌

The Nickel Guy wow! I was blown away when I received this box of treasures ! Of course the first thing I saw was that massive Rectangular Planter 😍 And then getting to unwrap all the other packages was like early Christmas, but I suppose that's the whole point haha. An Andy Davis Spinning Top and Base, three Peltier Transparent Rainbos, a WHOPPER 1 Inch Vacor Spaghetti, a Vitro Conqueror (which I've always admired, but now I own one!), four WV Swirls for which I now own the book and can study them to find out what I have . . . but WAIT! There's more! An absolutely gorgeous set of Vacor SuperNovas which were handpicked for me for their unusual darker color 🤩 AND some Alley Cullet dug by Ron Shepherd ❤️ with handpicked Alley marbles. . . . WHAT?? @The Nickel Guy This was an amazing way to start the Christmas season, all this Orange just lifts my spirit. I mean I know you have BOATLOADS of Vacor but to handpick a full game set, that is really something. I can't pick a favorite here, I look at the Spaghetti shooter and that's my favorite, but then there is something so satisfying about cullet with matching marbles, the dramatic colors of the spinning top and base, I feel like a squirrel trying to cross the road lol, which one do I look at? I suppose for collecting strictly Akro Agate for 20 years, these new additions are especially exciting for me. Thank you The Nickel Guy, Merry Christmas to you and to all here. This was fun and I'm glad I had the opportunity to participate in this Christmas Exchange.

Also, I've learned the ways of these Christmas exchanges . . . label them! 😅
