Ric Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 17 hours ago, Tommy said: Vitro oxblood I do believe. It's a decent Aquamarine, Tommy. The red/brown color on them varies a lot and some of them do have oxblood. But I agree with Chad on this one - I'm not seeing it. I am convinced that Vitro never intentionally made oxblood so any that do have it are fortuitous and very uncommon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SequoiaBET Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 My first post, just in time for Oxblood August! I just picked up these bricks and am thinking they are either M.F.Christensen or Akro- correct? And how do you tell the difference between the 2 companies? The bigger 2 are 3/4" and the other 3 are 5/8". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 These Akro vs MFC bricks can be hard to determine between the two makers. Akro did make some hand-gathered bricks that look awful like an MFC brick. Experts are out there, and I am not one of them. I just love bricks. Thanks for sharing them. Marble—On!!

SequoiaBET Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Thanks for the prompt reply Akroorka! And I like the oxblood and egg yolk, Tommy. I just got my first one. Here is a pic along with my 2 lemonade oxbloods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted Thursday at 07:12 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:12 PM This box is what got me into oxblood--many years ago. I passed on it once--the second time was the time to take it home. Yep, a "Jobber Box" full of Akro "Milkies". Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
