Leigh Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I think this might be a Vitro with Oxblood, but if not, please let me know. If it is a Vitro, is there a name for it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm walking onto the ice...Vitro, not Oxblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Oxblood to me, but only the thin lines on the blue, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhomer2172 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Really hard to say oxblood with those tiny lines and need to see up close and 20X! It’s not obviously ox anyway, kinda dark. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yeah, Oxblood is lighter and more "rusty" colored for lack of a better word, and is just on the surface. Yesterday I saw section in this forum where there were photographs and quite a number of good examples of Oxblood but I can't seem to locate it this morning to provide a link!

akroorka Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 This is all that I can say. If this marble was in my possession I would call it a Vitro with Oxblood. I would be hard pressed to call it anything else. Whether it was intentional or not is another thing. MKs and Pelts among others show up with “unintentional” oxblood striping or blotches of Oxblood. It is just the way of the world in the marble making industry. Finding oxblood like this is a bonus and a cool thing to find. That is a very cool marble for sure. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Here's a pic of an Akro Blue oxblood w/ the darkest example of oxblood I have, looks almost identical to the ox in the OP IMO. Where's that butter monkey at ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagocyclist Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Gosh, I'd love to get this marble in hand. It's still just not feeling like the very surface thin Oxblood and the color doesn't seem quite right to the last photo. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 I’ll kick the can here. Bricks and Akro’s Oxblood are the only true Oxbloods. Oxblood is truly Akro’s KFC’s secret recipe. It’s my understanding that “moles” tried to steal Akro’s formula to make Oxblood. Fact or fiction I’m sure we’ll hear from them soon. I think the guy at Akro was named CJ Fielder or something close to that. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
