I know it's not their real name but many years ago we called them Banded Akro's, Later they were called Helmets and now they have a different name. One that's real hard to find uses a pink base glass and another tough one to get uses Brick as it's band and later on Ox-Blood as it's band. It was the Brick band that led us to believe they were an Akro Agate marble. wediscount2

We must be the only two who are talkative today! I always see them as Vitro Helmets, but I've never seen the pink base before. Very nice!

Nice group - thanks for posting them. When you say pink base, are you referring to transparent base glass . . . maybe the color some refer to as peach? I have several of those. In my experience, they are not as uncommon as ones with brick/blood stripes. I only have a couple of those. They are all kept with my Vitros.

I have often seen them called Champagne Base. Not to uncommon

I like Vitro Helmets.here is my unique Black stripe.

and a few others

Cool black stripe, Galen. The green on a red face is cool too. In my experience, helmets with a stripe other than red or orange are less common - yellow on a green face seems to be one of the more common of them.

I am soooooo confused!! Are these Vitro or Akro?? All of mine are with my Vitro.

[lstmmrbls]

Do not be confused,. You have them in the right place.

Once upon a time they were believed to be Akro.

Keep them with Vitro. They're from the 1930's and were part of the "Tri-lite" line.
