The corks in translucent base glass, I have sometimes called them Moonie  Corkscrews (it's the name game,,,)

 

 

You mean the moss agate corks?

 

For a second I thought maybe you meant one like Bill's green based with blue cork.

 

And I thought "moonsnake" 

 

And fell in love.

Oh.  Moonsnake.  That's it!  Sigh.

Well, that handsome little purple cork on a white base loved me right back . . .

Only one I have had my hands on.

Couldn't be at a better home unless she was still here

Moonsnake is a better name.  Steph, I'm not sure ifthese fit into the moss agate category but they may.  Here's a couple pics.  They all have that "moonie glass" base.

Technically, it looks like you have a mix of true Aces and Moss Agates.   And I suppose there could be some other type in there -- maybe something Akro might have put in an Imperial box.  

Pretty sure I see the Ace glow coming through on the black one.  

And they're very pretty and very snaky.

In love with that second marble in the top row, Orange. Beautiful.

Very nice group Al! I think I also see a little bit of fire in the orange, top row, far right.

So Calling those snakes totally destroyed what I finally accepted as a snake, A flat cork resting mainly on the surface, any color(s), on any transparent base,  Calling those snakes gets me going back to just about any corksrew on any transparent base,  really still can't stand the name and was not ever going to use the term anyway(LOL)

This kinda looks like a snake swimming in the diving pool at the Olympics. LOL

Oh I like it! a swimming moon snake.

I'll have to go dump all the jars out again.
