Chad G. Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 "Happy Akro Friday" Two pictures of the same Lemonade Oxblood. First one using a normal 40W light bulb. Second one using a 40W 5000K daylight bulb with a 95 CRI rating, a dramatic difference in the color, brightness' & detail. I had no idea until I started experimenting a bit with some different bulbs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoozer Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Oddball 9/16” orange/grey cork. Probably dug? I don’t see this as a desirable commercial mib, back in the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ashtrays mibcapper. The first image is hands down THE BEST that I have ever seen. the rest are not too shabby either. I wonder if they used spinner cups while filling these molds--amongst other glass that was Akro made---almost had to right? Akro--On!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 A visit to water parks any one? Indoors of course, it is getting a tad cold. A nice “water slide” –“snake” corkscrew, it “tunnels” with slides and sides like this all around the marble---hold on!!! Akro Friday on!!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 OK bare with me, I am quite exited about this one. I am a corkhead after all. I have been back-filling a 100 count box of Akro Prize-names for the last 8-9 years and was held up for the last five years because of this marble, in this color combo. Wait a minute, some may say, Prize-names are two color---do the research and find that cream based Prize-name’s were included in the sale brochures. It is not red, it is not orange and it is not any color that I have been able to identify in any online spectrum or paint charts or from the numerous stores that I have visited and acquired samples from. It is simply an Akro Agate color that is not very common, even in Akro’s. I have had a few Akro collectors tell me that various runs produce many colors close to this and you may never match this one-- It just takes time and perseverance---collect and be patient is all that I can say. The box came with six of these, I needed ten, it took 8-9 years. This is a very rare Akro corkscrew. I hope that the images do justice to it. I was fooled many times—too many times. (at least they were corkscrews) What a great thing, to finish a goal—the filled box will follow this winter (winter is coming). Marble—On!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
