More Wild Found. Experimental Akro?

[BuckEye]

a little over 5/8 on both. The first maybe akro or master sunburst, the second looks like an akro cork that is broken or overlapped,possibly experimental? I have no idea on Akros.

Thoughts?

I kinda like the Akro idea on both.

As to "experimental", I would avoid using that term. I've heard that Akro's true experimental runs were made on larger size marble machines. I can't remember what rationale was given for that. Whether it had to do with checking glass quality or whether the large machines were less likely to be needed for normal production, or what. But that's what I heard.

if I recall correctly.

the 1st one might be akro although i see some vitro qualities there

but the 2nd one is not akro IMHO

never seen any at the digs or in akro collections that i recall

i have seen several of those type marbles mostly with the champion/ravenswood/other company swirls

anyhow there is my 2 cents
