chicagocyclist Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 This has been thought of by me as a oddball cleary that I had in a bulk purchase I made a few months ago. Yesterday I picked it up and turned it over and went Oh, My gosh! An incredible patch of Oxblood and it's on translucent. I surmised it to be an Acro Oxblood on translucent! On another ID forum it was (edited) confirmed that it was experimental as other similar oxblood patchs were found in the French drain on site at the factory.

Chad G. Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I already posted these pix somewhere else, AAM for sure but I can't remember where else ?? Anyway this one was also was dug from the "French Drain" many like this one w/ the olive colored base were dug @ the site. Lucky to have such a nice w/ mint example. I backlit it so you can see the classic Akro seam structure. I had this marble for years until I believe it was @Alan that finally revealed the true I.D. to me. I had an idea it was Akro but could never find another like it. My guess is it was never mass produced because of the "not so attractive" drab olive green base color ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 You are Peltmaster on AAM? Then, yes, it was AAM and hello! I certainly agree that they likely did not produce them because of the drab green. That drab green was exactly why I ignored it for, what, like 5 months I think! That the drab green would not have gone well on the marketplace, especially with from what I've heard all the kids wanted was red. But thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
