Akro Friday


Recommended Posts

These two are from the collection of Roger Hardy, the KING of Akro Marbles.
Both are 7/8”
They are known as “Experimental”, they were considered as “discards’”----and usually came from dig sites
How do I know?????-----I purchased them from a very, very, respected collector---------No Doubts!!!
Marble—On!!!

They are known as “Lunch Box Marbles”. These were brought home by employees at the time of production, they were considered as “discards’”----some employees did not agree (I did the same but it was usually toilet paper—LOL)

Thanks Gladys,

I have been corrected on the lunchbox thing and I have changed my ID of the marbles---They are Akro, they did come from Roger Hardy--just a non regular--very nice pair of "Experimentals"(dug marbles).

Marble--On and learn on as well!!
