William Marbles Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hello All, Thought I'd share this Akro Corkscrew with ya!! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Marbles Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Wow. 52 view and nobody's asked how big that cork is.... I labeled the small one. Okay, I'll spill the beans. It's between 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" So about 1 and 5/16". Biggest cork I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I meant to comment! I musta gotten distracted while I was trying to think of something clever to say about big eyes or big lashes. What a beautiful monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Marbles Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks guys!!! So is this rare for this size?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 What's the question? Are you asking if this is an uncommon combo to find at that size? I surely don't know the answer since I'm not aware of enough super-sized Akros to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I sold several marbles for a lady recently and she had some like this in them and I just realized it was a 3 color and not a 2 color haha Damn I wish my eyesight were better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Punter Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is it just those over 1" ? I have a matching pair of Amber corks that are 1 1/8 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I see a crease. Is it a cold roll or is that a double ingot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Marbles Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks for the info. Yeah has a small crease, believe it's just a slight cold roll. Short and doesn't go all around. I don't see anything to make me believe it's a dbl ingot. Has a fine texture in the black almost like on of those across the border marbles. I was obtained for a collector about 20 years ago. The guy had no dug stuff, so.... I may try to pick this up. I spotted this and asked to photo it. I was looking for the 11/16" stuff I needed. Cool, just when you think you seen it all...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 here's ours, 1 7/32", and no crease, no cold roll and smooth as a baby's butt. Have also seen a 1 1/4" lemonade, that Terry Lundeen owns. 1 and 1 1/8" can be found, ones larger are rare. and not an ingot. I think an ingot that big would be pretty awesome too. ~Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
