nutz4lutz Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Someone posed to me the question of which Akro "Snake" Corkscrews are most rare? I'm speaking of corkscrews with crystal clear base glass and opaque colored spirals. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutz4lutz Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've never even seen one with four colors. I am interested in seeing a pic of one for sure. Also interested in which single color Snake is the toughest to acquire. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've heard that the red ones are the hardest to find, but I've managed to find 15 of them and could have had more if I wanted them. The hardest for me have been the baby blue, light blue not the turquoise ones. I'm still trying to get 5 in a row of the baby blues and need two more.

csacks Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 "I'm speaking of corkscrews with crystal clear base glass and opaque colored spirals" You specified clear base glass, but I have always thought that orange snakes in an orange base were more difficult to find.

sissydear Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I too think the meaning was transparent clear glass, but I have a red snake in transparent red glass and an oxblood snake in transparent red glass. I think they are rare also. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okiemarble Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Is the snake color on the top layer of the marble? And if so, is there a akro snake corkscrew with a cloudy clear/white base ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 These are one of my many favorite type of Akros, I will try and take more pictures when I get home from work, but I have a new camera, and I'm still trying to figure out if I like it or not (translated: I don't know how to work it yet) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here are mine. Hard to find red snakes, middle are the turquoise snakes, and the ones hardest of all for me to find are the bottom row, baby blues. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 These are more unusual. Top row is an oxblood snake, The one on the right is red transparent base glass and a dark red and dark blue cork inside. Bottom row on the left is a clear transparent base glass with a red and a blue snake inside. The middle snake is red transparent glass with a black snake, and the third one is red transparent glass and a red snake inside. I'm still looking for my transparent red glass with oxblood snake. I got it from Dani and Ernie and I think I've put it in a special place so I don't forget it's different. Now if I could just find that special place.
