Oh! wow, that is not what I was looking for lol, I guess I figured it was more of a thin smeared ink. That is really cool, and literally looks like ink. Thanks migbar

I was looking around trying to find another Pelt similar to the one above, no luck ann, is this close to what you described above?

Cool! Thanks Gary

I have reservations for what looks like an opaque white running alongside the light blue. Lollol! about the cornflower It's pretty darn close. These pics are the best I could do to capture the wispy white. I've not seen another of these, just a strange marble that I'm trying to place.

This is a strange one, it looks like technically it qualifies as a Popeye, two colors and wispy white, but I don't know, what do you guys think?

Wow! That is beautiful, so much aventurine.

Thanks!

Deep blue and black , I like this combo I haven't seen very many like it

Hey! Nice variety on those Akro shooters! My first favorite I collected is at the 5 o'clock position, the cobalt with whispy white on the translucent base. Love those.

Same here

Whoop! I hadn't even considered the spelling of it. It sounds like an Inkie is a blue or black striping on a white base? So is Alley then the only maker that called one of their marbles an Inkie, and the others are collector-named? Yes, I would love to see pics.

Maybe this one too?

So, is "Inky" an actual title of a marble, or is it just a description, an adjective? and does it only apply to the dark bluish color, like india ink? Or only to a certain brand of marble? Is this considered an Inky? I've looked around a little, but haven't found anything really on Inky.

Browns, Reds and a white cork with a greenish underbelly, which is a little hard to capture in a photo. On an amber bubbly base.

Hmm, I'm not certain that's a limeade, I've always pictured limeades with the yellowish lemonade looking base with green and wispy white running through it? It looks like your's fits Alan's definition though: "Ade" corkscrews are identified by their base glass of translucent off-white mixed with wispy opaque white. I could be wrong there, hopefully someone who is more knowledgable with names/definitions will chime in here.

My dad won these in a carnival 50 years ago = I just made this yesterday

Very curious. Seems like a lot of extra work and a lot of trouble. They are beautiful, but it's seems so wrong.

Ausman, that thin red is a difficult one to find I think, very nice! sclsu, that one incher sure looks to me like an Akro, both ends of the cork the blue and while also definitely looks like an Akro as well.

Hi Nantucketdink - glad you are here I collect Akro, but have only collected for about ten years, always learning, always wanting more. I also enjoy just sharing what I have, and what I find. I consider you a serious Jabo guy, and thank you for that, I know very little about them so far. -Jess

Those are gorgeous Winnie, especially that eggyolk shooter and the two color patch! And the green and white patch, okay! all of them Bumblebee, I would LOVE to see that opalescent and orange corkscrew, I only have one opalescent corkscrew, it's yellow.

Ann - my address : 123 Main Street sclsu, would still love to see them any and all Akros

I agree, don't like cooked spinach at all, but I think it's more of a texture thing for me. I love raw spinach. One thing that everyone (all my female friends anyway) seem to love is the smell of cucumber soaps or lotions. I never have, it smells bitter to me. I love cucumbers, but don't think the "perfumed" cucumber smells or tastes anything like the real thing.

Of the bazillion different combinations. My two favorites. 1"

Umm, thanks guys? Cranky pants and peacemaker I know there have been many a "discussion" over Ringers and Aces, so I'll keep my peace. Ace!
