Locks like it could be a piece of Imperial, some of their stuff doesn't have any marks on it. Or maybe a repro toothpick, nonetheless a nice piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembered Chad's pitcher and went back to page 1 of this thread and identified them with the logos posted 😊 Not Akro but still nice additions I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Imperial William, Yes I have the exact same red slag pitcher but a first for me on the other piece, man the lid is killer, I really like imperials stuff from the 50''s & back, nice, thick, very well made, I'm diggin it !! Not Akro, "But" smokin deal !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Scored! No mibs but scooped up these Akro pieces and a slag mini pitcher or creamer? It's not marked so unsure if it's Akro but still nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Killer !! hey you found some, I've only found about 15 pieces since January & i been lookin hard. The 3 blue octagonal are kro for sure. I have a hobnail pitcher just like yours only red & orange slag w/ swirls of white, nit sure what it is but I like it !! Not a very good pic of it, right in the middle of a pile of Akro ware, Imperial & some other stuff Best pic I can salvage right now, looks like we been mining in the same mountain !! I'm like you, I sure wish that piece of hobnail was marked ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 A question about slag glass...I saw a beautiful candy dish, an opaque base with tons of different shades of purples and a sprinkling of orange and red. The dome shaped lid is in the likeness of an eagle. Man it was nice. Seller wants around $75 for it. The manufacturer that is listed on the tag is Westmoreland and this particular one was made in 1977. Is there any connection at all between Westmoreland and Akro? Wondering because I know that Westmoreland goes back more than 100 years (I also saw a candy dish, opaque amber with a lion on top) marked at around $100. It's tag says 1898. Thought I would ask too see if anyone has any knowledge of a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Nice Akro !! I scored about 23 pieces this week, best score in a long time, will be posting them later tonight. Nice bunch of glass William !! Yes the owl is 100 % Imperial (1951), my nieces favorite animal. You're gonna need that other display "Soon" @ this rate.

The pitcher is a little bigger than my other one. Also love the green saucer with its swirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 These are called "Concentric Ribbed" I have a set of white ones just like yours with a turquoise ribbed pitcher./ I noticed the crow logo on yours & mine as well are very detailed, much more so than other pieces of Akro ware. Same # 12 highly visible on mine to, wish I could get my hands on or reference guide to the meaning of each number ?? I know there are a couple complete guides to Akro ware & other Akro products, both by Roger & Claudia Hardy, maybe I'll go ahead & get them ?? You may recognize the first names ?? The VVHTF "Jolly Roger" giant cork & the "Claudia" both Akro marbles named after them.

William Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Patricia (my other half 😊), told me today she is going to move her teacup sets which will free up a 6 shelf corner curio with built in lights. That will help for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
