MarbleDawg86 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Anyone have a name for this cork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If that has a name, I don't know it. It makes me think of Imperial, though not the type which is most commonly called Imperial. There were several different kinds of marbles which were sold in Imperial boxes and I wonder if this might have been one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Isn't that a Carnelian Ox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Doh, I never think of Carnelian. To me it doesn't look like the marbles I've seen in Akro Carnelian packaging, but maybe collectors call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I was thinking a Chocolate carnelian I DO NOT prescribe to the view that chocolate is "burnt" oxblood lol I know many do or they call it Chocolate oxblood....But ox is a color as is chocolate. They do not meet and sex it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleDawg86 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Chocolate fits this much better than oxblood. It doesn't have the distinct akro ox color.... More like it was smeared with Hershey's chocolate syrup! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 A lot of the Carnelian Oxblood types have what many would call "burnt Ox" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleDawg86 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Can anyone tell me about what these may go for? I'm not looking to sell it, just wondering if I may have overpayed.... As a fairly new collector I am still trying to learn values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 The few like that I've seen are more of a black than an oxblood but I do believe there are some similar (not necessarily a corkscrew that) do have ox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 well for sure not a carnelian , I have one and what makes it different is all the bubbles in the base glass so what causes the bubbles , it could be a ringer with out the white , or an imperial that went wrong and got bubbles but I think I have one but no oxblood , as far as value well if you like it great . but I think you pictures might make it look different just put it in with some others, if you have them if not well that is why we are all addicted just but more . digital pics always depends on lighting and will change and of course what you are looking at them with . for sure oxblood because it is on top . enjoy . and just wondering if I may have over payed , well if was $1.00 you got a great deal if $50.00 you paid to much , also remember if it was in an auction and you were high bidder you just paid more than any one else wanted to pay . Mike oxblood not a carnelian not a ringer not a imperial marble separate showing air bubbles but with lighting changed well not sure if this answers questions I think it is on the different side and the oxblood is always worth the money .

MarbleDawg86 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 The color of the orangish red matches the imperial closest. I agree, it doesn't really look like a carnelian now that I've compared the base glass. I purchased it as a "buy it now" for $25, thinking it was an orangeade oxblood... Here is a link to the ended auction. The seller's pics may be more revealing than mine with an iPhone! http://bit.ly/1h4rLNa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ok, now I'm confused. What the Akros with the bubbly base glass called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I am still under the impression that some may have been sold in Imperial boxes. I think about five different styles were sold in them over the years. That is to say, I think about five different styles have been found in the boxes in recent decades. I'm only judging from pictures though. Haven't seen any of the boxes in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
