William Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 These are a few from the box I displayed yesterday. I'm guessing akro on a couple of them? Providing 4 shots of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 The first 3 are akro prize names. the last one may be an auger cork but it's hard to tell. Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Prize names as in a named group they belong too, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 2 hours ago, William said: Prize names as in a named group they belong too, correct? "Prize Name" is what Akro ended up naming their basic two-color opaque corks. (There was a contest to name them. But they never got called by the winning name. The contest label stuck. The winning name was "Fire Opal" which was later used on solid color marbles.) The fourth marble in your group has a bit of a Jabo look in some views, and in at least one view it looks like a slag. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I see...that's both interesting and helpful info! As for the fourth marble, I'll see if I can get some more shots of it in the morning and post them too this thread if that will help having additional views.

William Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Here's the red marble, different shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 The red one is not an Auger. I expect Steph's assessment is correct. I lean more to slag, but slags usually have more on the surface. I have a couple that the white is mostly on the inside though. Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'll go with Akro slag on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
