The Akro company did well with that--naming. Nice marbles regardless of the nickname. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that you can see why. I am not a name guy; to me these are really nice three color Corkscrews. They may have a company name but like I said--not a name guy. I just like them all. Three colored corks are not an easy find, let alone four of them. These may have been in a tin box—all together. The 200 tin and the 150 tin both carried four ¾” marbles as did the cardboard versions. They always varied in size—I would call them ¾” as they would have been sorted by the factory. To find four together is a great thing in my world. As an addition or edit to this answer--these three colored Akros were marketed as Ace Agates. Marble--On!!

But Akro made many patches and corks with the same color combos. The Carnelian looks like it has the additional color yellow, which is unusual. Does it glow?
