Akro Ace

[budwas]

Does anyone have a good picture of an Akro Agate Ace? I think some people call it a snake. White base with blue.

Here is a thread with the marbles that Akro called Aces:

Some collectors call a different type of marble "Aces".  Ones with more of a creamy base, like in the post linked here.  Akro called those something else.  But many collectors call them Aces.

And snakes are something different still. 

 

We have some nice Akro threads with snakes mixed in.   I'm still looking for a thread with just snakes ... or with the snake sorted out so they'll be easy to see.  

 

Here are some snakes -- clear base with coils kinda near the surface:

Thanks for the links and help! I feel at home here.

I'm at work until Sunday. Work on the north slope of Alaska, in a small Eskimo village (Nuiqsut ) live in Montana. I work 3 weeks of 7 - 12s then home for 2 weeks

Can't wait to get home and check out my new marbles. Pretty sure I got about twenty Aces.

You're very welcome!  Thank you for the kind words. 

(That's an intense schedule.)

It's nice to have marble mail waiting at home!
