Chad G. Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I know I've already posted this one but the oxblood in it is near black, an almost anemic type color, all my other blue aces have the lighter colored ox. a pic of it alone and beside a regular colored one for comparison. " Oop's" Happy Akro Friday all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Both classic familiar old favorites. Happy, Happy, Happy !! A few dimples never hurt and only add to the character of the marble for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't collect them either but I sure ended up with amess of them, every time I bought a lot or went to an estate sale and got some there was always Akro in there so I decided I would keep the best and sell or give away the rest, well the rest is starting to build up or creep up on me A very nice multi Ric, man those really used to draw the $$ anything over 3 colors really set Akro collectors off. Nice and wet, I see why you kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jess, not many around anymore I know, but there are some. Did a big thread on blueberry and other ade's on the other forum, just about any color they made had a patch to go with, because of the small number of the white ones I take it they weren't a big hit with the kids.

Chad G. Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Oop ! I thought it was Sat. Lost one somewhere there. Here's a dome I bought at an antique store for $20.00. It was full of thimbles being that's what it was designed for in the first place. You can see the little upraised bumps between the mibs, I just put rubber o rings in between each thimble holding bump and I was in business. I ran into another One at an estate sale, also full of thimbles, the same amount of shelves but a little bigger in diameter $ 30.00 this time after they took out the thimbles. I Googled these and $75.00 each, plus mine rotate and te ones for sale didn't, a nice set of displays at 1/3 of the price. I have since went to flats and wall mounts for space reasons.

Chad G. Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I've lost track of what's posted and not so I'll go to a favorite store and post some of their goodies for a little Friday night Akro education. I haven't smoked in over 12 years but still enjoy the glass, I have some tabbed ashtrays but that's it, here's a little variety for all you Akrozoners. Short tabbed, shown in oxblood An Akro black amethyst Hamilton match puller ashtray A very early Akro agate ashtray, check out the early embossing on this one. The embossing on the bottom "AA" Akro Agate, a very plain but rare ashtray Akro hexagonal design The dreaded Akro ellipsoid, even the name is cool At 1 1/4" tall these thumb pot are tiny, I have 2 of them one is already pictured and is uv. The rarest 2 colors are black & amethyst, the little dimple in the bottom is a knockout if you want a plant in it, used for a water drain. Every size had these. I better slip in a few mibs just to make it legal. An egg yolk ox an imperil cork I can't believe it Steph, I got rid of a double post, deleted it completely. peter piper pic...... never mind I bet I could never pull that one off again !!
