This is the second one, I bought them together about fifteen years ago, I like to think they've been together for a hundred years.

This one is also 11/16"

This is a tough combo to find larger than 5/8

I was incredibly fortunate, right time and right place. I bought them from MarbleAlan, I wish I had known him longer, an amazing and fun person, gone too soon.

5/8" Yellow and White on a transparent Blue.

I think they were made around the same time. I love them despite the damage.

I took so many photos this morning (I'm just now realizing it's 3pm lol)

Hi Ric. Here's the marble

this 3/4 tricolor with oxblood.  pretty rare to see these orange and yellow which are usually in the Prize Name category, with oxblood, but there are rows of these orange, yellow and a hint of black in #2 50ct Akro boxes labeled tricolor.  This marble fits that description except it has a lot of oxblood. So...

Tricolor Special 3/4

That Blue and Green in your first photo is a pretty hard to find color combination, green on blue, nice!!!
I've really only ever seen one, and it's in my collection. I'm really happy to see yours and in much better shape than mine :) thanks for sharing that!

Thanks for that info. Since that picture was taken, I have found a few more nice ones. I am due to take a new group picture. I'll try to get better pictures of my blue/green one.

I made this animated gif tonight of the only one I have. It is quite different than yours. It is green on blue though.

Very nice! Super hard to find in any condition, you have a special marble there. Thank you for taking the time to get more photos of it!

Thank you. I don't know if I'll remember to post tomorrow for Akro Friday so I get in here a few hours early. I took these pictures after making that Blue Green gif.

I have other Akros but I'm only showing my corkscrews and snakes here. There's about 5 lazy corks and a mutant boulder and another cool one that looks like a leaf appears on the beginning or end, but they both turn from pole to pole.

These are now resting in the glass covered tray as seen in pic 1. I think they look better scattered rather than sorted by like kind,

Always a sucker for a light blue snake.  Nice Akro’s my friend.
