Steph Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Gotta love some Akro ox. This picture turned out okay --- Jabo Last Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie_T Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 VERY nice! Are the specs I see in the clear glass in there on purpose to make the marble sparkle? Love that marble. Another of mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 That's luscious. Yes, the green flakes shimmer. They might be mica. (Or they might be some other thing which was _called_ mica -- I never got that straight.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 WOW..... Seeing these newer marbles with Oxblood makes me want to get some. My collecting has focused on older marbles but these newer Jabos are knock-outs! Keep 'em coming. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 As much as I like my JABOs, I feel that the The better Akro oxbloods are the foundation of the machine made marble collecting hobby. Everybody needs examples of those Akros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Another of my lowly oxbloods.... Y'all keep those pics coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Here are a few of mine. First photo is a Leighton type purchased at a show that came from Hansel DeSousa. One of the most colorful handmades I own. Check out the 9! The second is a clear oxblood by Akro. Hard to find! The third is also a handmade oxblood in clear glass with nice swirling.

VTAndrea Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Finally, here's a photo of a VERY old Leighton type I found at a flea market (never have found anything even close at a flea market!) that was very damaged, but the gorgeous colors and "9" are incredible. I sold it quite a long time ago. And last, here are a couple Vitros with oxblood V's, not so hard to find but cool nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Those Leightons are how I first fell in love with eggyolk and oxblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal3 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Nice, Alan - no annealing fracturing? Andrea, that first 'Leighton' type is just drop dead gorgeous. Those are my absolute favorite marbles, and that's one of the best ones I've seen! A lot of the oxbloods from Akro, I think, tried to imitate those early ones, and some - like the ones here - made a pretty good run at it considering they were mass produced instead of single gather.
