spara50 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 This 0 seller has already sold this fake Akro lot with a Buy it Now. Now he has listed it again. Can anyone recognize this picture? It is obviously taken from a book or cropped from an image. I can't believe so many people fall for this. From England?

BobBlock Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 It be nice if they were at least glass. Although technically I guess he is correct, since they are marble, that would make the group "marbles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned one for about 25 years with an Emma on it. The other is floating around out there and was at various times in the past owned by Elliot Pincus and by Jamie Browder.
