Ric Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Third mib in the first row and 6th mib in the 3rd row look unusual to me. And the yellow on white are the least common of the common white-based ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 You can collect Akro corkscrews a lifetime and not get all the color combinations and in different sizes. Each collector has a different opinion what are the most difficult color combinations to find. Some of that depends on the persons location and how much they travel or how hard they hunt marbles. They will be two colors, three colors, four colors and a few five colors. About every glass color possible has been used on a corkscrew. Plus the different types of corkscrews, snakes, augers, prize name, specials, etc. Snakes and others also come in two or three colors and oxblood. Then there are all the Popeyes and multicolor hybird Popeyes. Just no end to collecting Akro corkscrew marbles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 You are welcome. Most all collectors do collect or has collected Akro corkscrews. They are one of the easiest vintage marbles to learn how to identify them. Some will still slip by seasoned collectors. A spinner cup that made corks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not sure the blue and black one is a Akro Corkscrew ? I see two cut lines cutting the black ribbon in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
