Leigh Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I bought this a small group of marbles on ebay and this was part of the group. The only marble I can find to match is Orion's Belt. Am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's an Akro Prizename corkscrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - the "wooden" look of the brown and the color of the green through me off as the coloring is so similar to Orion's Belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Any idea what color the base glass is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Depends on if you are closer to the east coast or west coast. There are two totally different Peltier marbles with the same name Orion's Belt. Both need to have aventurine. Both are rare to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 This article seems to be one of the best ones that I found on them: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33784&hilit=orions+belt&start=25 I do think mine is probably a Prize name corkscrew as when I look at these photos in this article, the Orion's Belt is definitely not a corkscrew. The colors on the one on the West Virginia Marble Collector's site are so similar to mine that it totally threw me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I don't think your cork will have aventurine. Yours is a common Akro corkscrew color combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
