Always love seeing and sharing new marbles. Here are my new Akros I've added recently to my collection: 1. A UV reactive Popeye 2. A Green and true Black cork 3. A Blue and Gray cork on a translucent base 4. A UV reactive transparent Brown cork Would love to see more of everyone' s newer marbles! -Jess

That Purple one is amazing! I don't collect very much Master, I have a few. I LOVE that Purple though, wow! I sure hope you find it too. -Jess

This is a fantastic thread! Great marbles and awesome photography. I've collected almost strictly Akro and Orange is my favorite, here are my top ten: 1. Transparent Orange Spiral 2. Yellow and White on Blue 3. Four color cork 4. Brown, Black, and White cork 5. Periwinkle Blue on translucent base 6. Yellow and White on a very dark Blue transparent base 7. Coral cork on a Blue translucent base 8. My favorite Orange Spiral 9. A smokey Orange on a translucent base 10. My favorite Orange and Yellow shooter.

This is the closest I have to that one from the Ad, it has more White than the Ad, but the Orange is bifurcated. 5/8" -Jess

I'm here! Was checking in, I've been away from here for awhile, I must have heard you Steph hahaha! I just looked through all the photos on this post, and how could I compare, so many good ones, Al has quite a few in his photos. Off the top of my head I would say difficult for me to find: Green / Yellow Green / Lavender Blue / Blue Yellow / White Those are tough for me to find. I see I have a lot of catching up to do!

Very cool Steph, and Happy Birthday!! I'm pretty excited about that run as well, I won a naming contest for one of the marbles from the DAS Equinox, meet Toucan Sam! The colors made me think of Froot Loops when I saw it

I believe these are All Reds (?) Like the patterns on these, especially the bottom left one, looks like a snake's eye to me.

I love when you bring this photo out, I haven't seen it in a few years! It makes feel all nostalgic about marbles again.

Gorgeous marble, I love those layers of brown, but I get a pretty strong Vitro vibe from this one.

Nerf bats - hahaha! Yes! and thank you Royal.

Don't get me wrong. I seriously appreciate what was done that 100 years ago. My point is, that someone had to do it. So we could all appreciate it.

Yeah, I get it. I work in the Water/Wastewater industry. What I do contributes to your ease of a faucet and a flushing toilet. It's how we operate. Let me have my romantic thoughts about marbles.

Ahhh, but isn't it so much more quixotic to think that it was the air breathed by the marble makers?

Air from the 1920s, almost 100 years ago, perfectly preserved. Anybody else wonder about that when they look at their marbles?

One thing I love about this collection, is it's never ending. So many combinations! I do this a lot

Dug corkscrews The top center marble looks to maybe be a double ingot. (I put a 5/8" marble in the photo only for size reference)

Green and orange corkscrews

My first and favorite Akro brown corkscrew and two similar corkscrews that make me think of planets

Powder blue and red corkscrew and blue and orange cork with an almost metallic gray

Looking through my photos, I don't think I've added these here: Yellow and Black and Yellow and Blue which looks like it didn't mix well

I just now saw this, my Tammy Faye haha! Welcome Steph!

That Sunkist Sparkler is very cool, I love the overly dramatic seams

Weird touch mark on it, looks like it happened while it was cooling. 3/4"
