Enlighten us.

There are a few Vitro Patch types that look an awful lot like common Akro Ox patches.

Take a closer look at this one imho.

Marble--on!!

I guessed vitro or Kokomo. This pic was posted to a Facebook group and IDed Akro oxblood by several people. I couldn’t believe it so I shared with a friend and she thought Akro too. I wasn’t seeing Akro at all. 🤣

That’s 100 percent a vitro and also not Oxblood imo.

I would not be so sure on that Pittsburg. For 1 the blue are the most common, 2. they're all translucent simi-opaque white and 3. Oxblood is difficult to photograph and not all are as bloody and grainy in the most common Oxblood style Akro made. I just pulled this photo off the net for the 5 or 6 blue colored that's in it:

I will not go 100%---never--well almost never😁. I will agree to a point. I collect Akro oxblood patches on a regular basis and pass on many Vitros that look similar.

The Akro "oxblood patches" had a variety of colors involved and depths of color in the oxblood.

Thanks for making me not feel so crazy. :)

This has been fun Melissa.

I wish that you could get some better images.

If this was my marble, I'd definitely post more pics.  An interesting discussion for sure! :)

Send me a link via “Personal Message”—or PM and I will take a look with my imaging software.
I am still at 50-50 Akro vs Vitro on the OP.
These Akro oxblood patches are all over the place with coverage, colors, sizes and just plain desirability.
I just love them.

I can’t send images via private message and the Facebook group is private so I can’t send a link. Here are the original images provided.

This helps.
It is not the Akro “Oxblood Patch” that we are all familiar with.

There is no oxblood in the OP or the  nicer images that you posted.
I have never been able to sort these as any named Vitro. I do believe that it could be a Vitro lacking in some other colors.
