(L) to (R) Vitro, Marble king, Alley, sorry I'll get some closer pics later (if I remember ??)

A little closer & a different view, the biggest and the only one w/ fleas (of course) is the Akro limeade cork. A couple have some microscopic pocket wear but that's it !! Not bad for less than .50 a mib. My favorite is the little tiny Pelt MCS, less than 9/16ths"

I was collecting akro ware for years, finally sold most of it last year on eBay. I searched for the boxed tea sets, hoping for the oxblood lemonade holy grail. Never got even a whiff. We see common pieces regularly at antique stores, but most are over-priced. Let me know if you have a list of what you are looking for, always willing to help other people spend their money.๐Ÿคฃ

Thanks Brad, I have to put together a bunch of sets and see exactly what I have, one thing that I only have one piece left on is a set of interior panel w/ oxblood. You've seen the pix of the plates, saucers, cups, sugar bowl pitcher and lid I think all I have left is the creamer itself on that set, believe me it took a while for the rest, I remember passing on a lemonade ox set or two several years back (Duh) only abbot $250.00 then. Now you can barely touch a lone pitcher w/ a lid for less than 175.00 "if you can find it ??" I'll start rummaging around and see exactly what I have & need "Thanks again"ย :)

I've come to the conclusion after a bummer purchase today that picking through jars and boxes of marbles is a lot more fun than buying them one at a time. I love seeing all these scores!
