akroorka Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 It is Akro Friday and I do not know if I should post it here or on another post such as a “big score”. This is the place to be IMHO. My wife and I have been collecting Akro-ware for almost forty years and this is believe it or not, the first complete "Scotty Dog Matched Pair top and bottom" That we have been able to find without the ears chipped. Watch for the ears on this one, they are commonly missing a flea bite or two. Akro Friday works for me—I found these all today with change from two twenty’s. Akro-Ware—On!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Good eye William. One out of four had the backwards thing going on in my house. I had never noticed it before either. A new thing to search for--Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The Lilly Planters and the Lilly vases are the two most common finds in my world. They do show up with some weird color combos and base glass though. Here is an example of one of the repo Lily vases. It just could be an earlier version as Akro purchased these molds from another company (Westite). It has a big clunky base to it. I appears to be Black amethyst but it is actually amber when backlit. Funny thing, the two akros on either side both have backwards letters as you described. Here I go, turning over Akroware the rest of the day. (they all need dusting anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Regarding your post, Art, and Brad's response to it, from August of last year in this thread, I feel pretty privileged to have found at least half of one in the wild! No chips, no cracks, and perfect ears 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
