This one covers general Akro Agate marbles identification tips. I've focused on a quicker pace for this one, thanks to your input from my last video attempt !

Steph Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 The hailing from Akron got me. They were only in Akron until 1914. Then moved to Clarksburg, WV. That's where they started making marbles. I enjoyed it overall. I disagreed with some of your dates, but I know that at least one prominent collector disputes me on Akro dates. At 10:45, you feature a Peltier in the Silver Oxblood section. There were some places where I thought, "uh oh, someone would quibble over those names," but quibbling over Akro is like an Olympic sport for mibologists. Can't be avoided. Even if you were MarbleAlan himself you could expect someone to quibble with you about Akro history and names. He was a good sport about that! I liked the Moss Agate comparison at the end. Oh, and the oxblood close-ups could be very helpful. I'm going to need to remember this when someone is struggling with recognizing oxblood.

stephenb Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thank you Steph ! Yes I just used Akron as a starting point. I’m sure there are many minor things people could pick at though out the video. I appreciate your comments ! . This one ? Is an experimental Silver Akro from what I have gathered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spherophile Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 This is excellent and very helpful for us newbies. You might check your text, though, I know I saw the word “lightning” instead of “lighting” in one section. I hope you do more of these! Thank you!
