Akro? Vacor? Other?

[Greeneyesgreenthumbs]

Acquired as an Akro possibly experimental from a “friend of an old Akro employee” could be a hybrid popeye maybe? Vacor Michael Angelo ? Or ? .... none the less gorgeous marble approximately 39/64” to 5/8” size thanks y’all

Nice marble. But for me there is just something odd or not right with this marble. If it is a true Akro cork ? It is  a good one. I have never been convinced that Akro ever did any actual planned experiments with marbles. I think they knew exactly what they were doing. They had errors and mistakes that people label experimental. When things were running smooth operators played around trying different things. But they were not planned engineered experiments. The colors on this one are bright but thin for most Akros.  The first picture shows a mint four color Popeye Hybrid. Which would be extremely rare.  To good to be true ???????  Good luck.   ???????????????

I found a few Akro color comps in one of my patch cases it’s starting to look like this one could indeed be Akro. Which would be nice because the day I got it my Jabo’itis kicked in but after looking at it more I started to consider it’s possibility of being a very nice hybrid popeye. But I just wanted to get opinions from my colleagues to help me out. Thanks ....here’s the ones I referred to color wise. Seems like my mystery marble would fit right into that pow wow. But I have an opportunity to squire a large box of marbles being offered to me under the pretense of “Akro employee” gave these to me, was told some would be cold roll or floor sweepings or oddities as this is what the seller was told

After talking with the person I bought this from I’m convinced it’s an Akro Agate hybrid popeye. I’m purchasing a few more from the seller whos Uncle worked at Akro Agate. I’ll share them here with everyone
