Corkscrew?

Hard to tell if it is a complete corkscrew pattern - might be a Jorkscrew (partial cork on a Jabo).

My hand was shaking when I went to type JABO, so I didn't but I really wanted to. Both the pattern and the color.  Sometimes you gotta trust your first instinct!

Not an Akro cork and not so sure it's a Jabo either as the glass  and colors look too smooth and zero blending. I do have some of the original 1st batch Jabo made. A little hard to describe; they, kind of look like a cork, but are nothing similar to an Akro like this is. They start with a round ball that a thin line spirals away from, then turns into a regular Jabo swirl on the other side.  Yours is not doing anything like that nor is there any blending. 

Regardless if you knew all the various colors Akro used, were it to be one, that wouldn't seem as "Ugly" as you think rather, pretty darn cool. For an Akro collector really cool as the colors are like nothing they made too. 

(Edit)Well shoot, apparently, I grabbed the best one. Double checked the others and they're  even harder to describe. others have a smooth curved start, but folded start of the spiral, I can't explain so easily, but spiral around and then the other half like I said, regular Jabo swirl including a 'Butt crack on a few. Some, although the same exact colors don't even spiral at all. I probably forgot as I've had theses IDK like, 15-18 years ago: I like picking an example of each feature things may have, that makes a full set of what was made; Best to least. 

Sorry, still having problems with my camera or I'd shoot em verses trying to describe. Yet once again, they are not like yours at all.
