akroorka Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Here are some same run corks that I have put together over the years. Simplicity at it's greatest. Funny how you can get a few here and a few there and have them come back together like siblings. Also funny how you can forget a persons name and remember a marble--scary---- but I love doing this kind of stuff! Marble--on!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble—on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to capture in a photo . . . If you don't look really closely, it can look like a very dark blue/black in hand (left). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't look really closely, it can look like a very dark blue/black in hand (left). You did well to show this in your imaging ric--once in a while the oxblood shows itself beyond the blue-ish. Look real hard at these and they may not be quite as rare as one may think. Not common for sure but findable if you look hard under intense light. Marble--on!! and use a good light! Here is a link to my favorite light for checking out marbles---rechargable and intense---great value for sure. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K27MCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 "Happy Akro Friday" The big "A" little "A" is the earliest known mark of the "Akro Agate Company" and is very rarely seen. I had some with this mark in the past but haven't seen it in quite a while, something I've been looking for as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akro did not make swirls, on purpose anyway, which is probably why these were buried. But being a swirl collector, they were interesting to me. Having said that, some of Akro's marbles are definitely swirly - think of some of the egg-yolks you've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
