I had this one years ago, I was pretty sure this one was a Bloodie, I was wrong. I don't collect Pelts but I thought it was really cool and gave it to a collector friend of mine. I think she has it with her Ketchup and Mustards too. 7/8"

Thank you Tommy! I love to photograph and share my Akro, and these are the ones I find unusual, I have more and will share of course. The mibs I'm sharing are clearly not Mint, and I am perfectly happy with that. These marbles were used in tournaments, they were won in schoolyards, I love all of that about these marbles. I'm a romantic.

Last two for this Akro Friday, promise. Coral on Blue, it looks like a translucent base, but light doesn't shine through at all. Oxblood cork on a butterscotch or custard base 19/32"

I only have one of these. A 1" Spiral.

Orange, Cream, and a dark Blue That first one with the broader band of Orange is 19/32" The second is on a translucent base and is 5/8"

Akro has me hooked too! Here are a couple of thin lines of Oxblood. The Orange is 11/16"

Two Popeyes with that Colbalt Blue 1 Orange Cobalt and Green Popeye 5/8" 1 Red and Cobalt Blue Popeye 11/16"

Two four color Specials: 1 Orange based Special 21/32" 1 Yellow based Special 5/8"

@teajayo Love love love that Orange Spiral Snake! And very nice collection of Akro @The Nickel Guy ! I love Akro Friday 🤩 Here are a couple of UV reactive Akro corkscrews. 1 UV Popeye 1 UV Eggyolk with dark blue and the thinnest strand of Ox I've ever seen, 5/8"

Very nice! Super hard to find in any condition, you have a special marble there. Thank you for taking the time to get more photos of it!

Very cool, love the collection. I think I see the typo

My focus for years has been Akro, but in my collection antics, these four Vitro All Reds were acquired and have haunted me for just as long. I love them. I'd love to see more of these if you want to share

Wow! I'm always encouraged to see something like this found. 😍

That Blue and Green in your first photo is a pretty hard to find color combination, green on blue, nice!!! I've really only ever seen one, and it's in my collection. I'm really happy to see yours and in much better shape than mine thanks for sharing that!

Finding the marbles is the fun part, the hard part is photographing these tiny little highly reflective orbs 😕

All these Jabo marbles are gorgeous, one thing I really love about Jabos is that they can be narrowed down to a run, to specific people/makers, to a specific date even, so cool. I have two Jabos, one is a Toucan Sam marble that I got to name in 2018 for the Equinox Run! I thought that was really cool. There was a contest, they shared photos of the marble and the contest was to come up with the best name for it, the winner of the contest won the marble, I won!! I chose Toucan Sam because the colors made me think of Fruit Loops. The second two photos were from another contest, and for winning, MrsMopar (Felicia) sent me this Jabo donut necklace and a handmade bag, the chain for the necklace is also handmade and came with the Jabo donut/lifesaver pendant. I can't remember exactly what the contest was, I think it was one of those guess the number games? It was in 2009, and my memory isn't what it used to be. -Jess

5/8" Yellow and White on a transparent Blue. I think they were made around the same time. I love them despite the damage. I took so many photos this morning (I'm just now realizing it's 3pm lol)

Translucent green base on these three. The two Orange corks are 21/32" The Yellow cork is 5/8"

My two favorite 1" Akros

A Powder Blue on Orange 11/16" A Green and Yellow on Lavender 19/32"

Two Specials, 11/16"

Happy Akro Friday ! One Green Perfection One Red Onyx -Jess

That photo is most of the 9/16" Akros that I own, there are 51 total - 46 that are 9/16" and five that are a little bit smaller at 17/32". That's what I have.

Ah that's right. I remember those conversations now, I will go look them up.

First of all, these are GREAT photos! I think that this gray color is an accidental mix of the two colors (in yours it looks like a blue on yellow) and that it happened pretty frequently. There are those here that are far more versed in the glass mixtures, but I can at least contribute a photo. Here are three, two yellow and blue, and one yellow and green, where the glass mixture resulted in a gray.
