VTAndrea Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Jon, if you're asking about mine, the answer is yes. There is no 9 and tail, though. Maybe a not so well formed brick? I know not all bricks have the obvious 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 How come none of the folks posted any Crystal Bricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.T. Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 First pic, crystal brick. A blue n green brick, second pic. Two moss agates, third and forth pic. The second moss agate has been polished. Someone already posted it, must have copied it from another time I posted it, but here it is again. The fifth pic is a green brick. The sixth is a brick with white. Thanks for looking. BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.T. Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 By the way. People would be amazed how many bricks have green in the base but not on the surface. I took pic's of Brian G. collection of brick pieces he dug at the factory site and was shocked at how many had traces and more or green glass inside the marbles.

akronmarbles Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Nice pics Bill..... Here is the result from an experimental batch melt yesterday. The color is good but I need to coax it out more. I hope to be making new oxbloods very soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homes454 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Are the ones you call "crystal bricks" contemps? Or are they made by Akro??? the ones I have seen by Akro have been like a snake or ribbon cork, not weird inside.....? Thanks Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.T. Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Crystal bricks come form the mfc line of pavers:-) Extremely rare marbles. I have only seen two in 18 years. Both were right about an inch in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 They were not a regular production item. All of the examples I know of originated from an employee of the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.T. Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Did they come from members of the family via the worker or were they found in the wild dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 BT - All of the examples that i can think of that are 1" in size can be traced back to Harry Heintzelman (sp???) who then passed them to Fred Wright then off to other collectors. The other two cases are both from groups that came out of Akron - definately distant family members - one was a coffee can full of marbles that contained only MFC marbles including a rare 1" crystal brick and a solid white 1 & 7/8" industrial marble. Another group contained a crystal brick and a few "moss agates" along with an example of every type of 'brick' you would ever want to find. IMHO - Both groups represent hand picked marbles taht were kept by the makers them selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
