Added a few new shooters to the Akro collection 👍

 

Patriot or Liberty, There are not a whole lot of collector named Akro corks. The Akro company did well with that--naming.

Nice marbles regardless of the nickname.

Marble--On!!

No,
These are collectors names Tommy. I am sure that you can see why.
I am not a name guy; to me these are really nice three color Corkscrews. They may have a company name but like I said--not a name guy. I just like them all. 
Three colored corks are not an easy find, let alone four of them. These may have been in a tin box—all together. The 200 tin and the 150 tin both carried four ¾” marbles as did the cardboard versions. 
They always varied in size—I would call them ¾” as they would have been sorted by the factory.
To find four together is a great thing in my world.

As an addition or edit to this answer--these three colored Akros were marketed as Ace Agates.
Marble--On!!

I like this kind of Akro..were these pre corkscrew. Or are they in the same "family" or style of like the eggyolk ox and or cornilean🤔

Nice mibs, Tommy. I think the left is an oddball corkscrew. But Akro made many patches and corks with the same color combos. The Carnelian looks like it has the additional color yellow, which is unusual. Does it glow?

Hey William, I thought Tomatoes were Vitros!
