Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 This is an old Akro we used to call Blueberry ade, only seen this color ade in a patch, haven't seen many as of late and they where pretty rare when I had this one 10 yrs. ago. Never seen one in a corkscrew. Hopefully something (old ) but new for you to look at. A Super uv. reactive mib. Gave off a blue glow i.e. the blueberry ade name. One of a growing number of marbles I wish I had never auctioned off. These pictures of my marbles where taken by my friend Terry at the time of and for the auction.

Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 A 3/4" lemonade patch. Sorry I have no limeade patches, I'll just post a limeade swirl instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 A limeade swirl. I know it look's like the top is a cork but the limeade green turn's and goes the other way on the other side of the marble. Sadly I have no Cherry ade, if you do please post whatever you have.

Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 A couple Akro carnelian ade mib's. Any one who has any of these knows the ade side glow's like crazy. It can even be seen through the carnelian colored side faintly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I found an old picture of some of my patches taken by my friend Terry, 2 cherry ade patches, 2 lemonade patches and a limeade patch. Sorry I forgot I had some cherry ade pic's, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 A what I'll call master blue berry ade for the lack of any other name. these pics where also taken by Terry I had no camera @ the time of the auction. It had a melted dimple on one side but I kept it because of it being so uncommon. This mib had a very intense uv. glow. I had an entire shelf in my large curio dedicated to uv, w/ a 4' black light to bring out their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Another Cherry ade patch I forgot about, these pic's showing the uv glow. Edited September 25, 2020 by Chad G. addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 OK, what's this one called? It's the only 'ade patch I have in my display- there may be others in my jars. One pic is backlit so you can get an idea of color, kinda' red-brown, maybe ox? The other one's a lemonade swirl w/ox. Just showin' it off.

Chad G. Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Not interested in the patch color as much as I am the base glass, is that glowing w/ a blue tinge Bruce ?? could ya put the second one under the light with it for a side by side color comparison ?? Don't think the patch is oxblood, too much light penetration to be oxblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 This was one of my favorites. Akro Limeade cork with yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berryb Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 This is my patch under blacklight. The UV light does not give it a blue tinge, but the back-lighting certainly does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks for takin the time Bruce, I had a feeling that blue tinge wasn't related to the glass. What did you use in the first place one of those little uv. flashlight's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 The Back-lit photo is just a plain ol' flashlight. My blacklight is a handheld, 4 inch, fluorescent tube. So I think that the blue tinge is the way the glass reacts to white light. I could try sunlight but it may be a few days before we see the sun around here.

Chad G. Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 That's Ok Bruce, I understand how thing's happened now. Thanks for all the effort it is much appreciated.
