feelnmarbleous Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 This swirl has caused feuds and disagreements about it being Akro, but next to this other swirl i have it doesn't look Akro unless of course they are both Akro swirls, what do you think ?

Steph Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The bottom never looked particularly Akro to me but it's starting to look more so. With that clear, slightly bubbly base, and light wispiness, the top does look Akro. The bottom also seems to have the wispiness. The main thing which puzzles me is that pale orange. That's a weird color. (If it's actually pale yellow, that would be more in my realm of experience. is it pale yellow?) 'Course I'd feel better all around if I had a good handle on both ends of the ribbons on both of the mibs. I guess I'm seeing one end on each? but not clearly. Would be looking for hints of corky structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 After what I saw yesterday from the collection of the ICE brothers, dug from 40 feet underground at the Akro factory site - they do look akro. I saw marbles I would have sworn were vitro, marble king, and I don't knows. They were all akro. Some had gorgeous "V's" on one side. Some were swirls and some were patches.

Akro gatherer Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would say that the 2 pics are popeyes gone wrong. They sure look like it. but if they are yours swirl junky then call them whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Putting the pattern aside for a moment (since so much dug Akro has surfaced...and dug examples seldom follow conventional pattern) - the glass appears consistent with Akro. AD's comment about it being similar to Popeye glass combos is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would put them both in the dug Akro bin. -Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
