I back light almost every marble I come across - you never know what you might find inside. And some marbles, like the one I showed, are downright sad without it. Thank you, me too! And good practice on back lighting all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing Happy Akro Friday! The middle one is a 3 color special all opaque and the other left of center on the bottom is a blue egg yolk ace cork, you can barely see the ace base glass tracing under the yellow,. There's an egg yolk ace swirl second to the right of it. If I turned it on it's side you would recognize it immediately. " Thanks for the likes Jess " A little confetti for you also on this "Akro Friday" Well it looks kinda like confetti !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wonderful! I love that Special, I don't see that thick Black ribbon with that color combination very often. Or ever now that I'm thinking about it, that's a 'special' Special in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Only one I have like it. I sold all my 4 and 5 color corks, not a real big Akro collector but I like certain ones and end up hanging on to them, they kind of find their way into your collection if you know what I mean. "Thanks Jess" back at ya. Chad G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco005 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 An early one I couldn't wait for tomorrow.

Chad G. Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Oop's I'm 30 mins. late, this one has what looks like a scratch in the middle of the first picture but it's actually a trail of micro air bubbles that follow the glass flow all the way to the other end of the cork right down the center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 My favorite uv patch, 7/8th's and shiny clean. Two different lights, 1st is a 20w daylight bulb and 2nd is a fluorescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco005 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks guys! Free is the best price Chad can't wait to see more photos! Love the lashes on the Yellow and Red cork, and the UV patch, outstanding, and great capture on the trail of micro bubbles down through the center of that Onyx. That last mib posted, I have one just like it, yours is the only other one I've seen, so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Yes !! thank you Jess, No not very common I've only seen 2 or 3 like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I got a large marble collection from a local woman who had collected for many years. She must have liked pinks, purples, lavenders, and pastel colors in general because I found a lot off those kind of colors in her collection. This is one of them. Are these colors less common? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Pink is definitely one of the rarest colors in Akro If you've got more of those, that is amazing. -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
