I don't think I've added these to this Akro thread yet

Thanks Dave, I've missed marbling, it was nice to dig them out yesterday. The aventurine in that blue based marble above is wild! And just out of curiosity, on that tub of slags, did you sort them by manufacturer? I think I would be able to pick out the Pelt slags, but that's about it. Maybe a few CAC's if the road and tunnel was really pronounced. This Akro below is kinda beat up, but I found it pretty unusual. it's larger than 15/16" but just shy of a full inch.

What a fantastic piece of marble history and camera history! An 8x10 negative is huge. I love that color cardboard cut out posted above, way cool! I inverted the first negative in Photoshop, and it looks like it is a black and white / newspaper photo as it came out very blue. Then I also converted it to B&W, it looks fantastic. I'm not sure if I should post it or not, would hate to upset people.

And this one is not. It is a Moss Agate corkscrew.

Always a fun topic, is it an Ace or no? I've been told that these are Akro Aces for their orange glow in the base glass:

Wow! That TUB of slags is amazing! The blue really jumps out for me. I haven't checked in for a while, so I thought it might be okay to share this photo again since I LOVE group shots of marbles

A yellow with a very thin AND fat lazy cork lol. Next up, more orange and green!

It's gorgeous! And I'm sorry, I don't know enough about them.

Wow! That's fantastic! I've never seen an Ox patch on a blue base like that, seems unusual to me I have one on an amber base but have seen others on an amber base.

Amazing cats everyone! Wow, Vitro made some very photogenic marbles, gorgeous colors.

There's no way I'd have been able to pass up on that blue and yellow either. Nice score.

Wow! Top row, third marble, that Oxblood is amazing! I have a beat up oxblood slag, yours is gorgeous!

Wow, some fantastic marbles here, my retinas are popping! I don't have very many slags, but here they are.

Grrrrr. That really stinks, so sorry blankbox on YouTube.... I've considered it.

Oooooooooh! Beautiful, not many bloody bubbles out there. Champagne bubbles too, very fitting.

I can't say that I have very many Akro's with a horse hair thread of ox. Anybody else? The horsiest ....

Haha! That's a great resolution Happy New Year!

Ah, that makes sense, I should have pieced that together. :\ I'll check them out under the light

Those are gorgeous ! And now I'm curious, is that second marble in the top row of your photo a fluorescent green? In my photo below, it looks like the bottom three might be fluorescent green, but is it just because there is more white in mine? Curious, I have a few slags, but know very little about them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful slag marbles

Thanks guys!

I now have two favorite white based corks, the orange/black is new. I love the contrast in these.
