Plutonianfire Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Attached are photos for what might be two Akro Agate spiral onyx / snake marbles. Would very much appreciate any input. BTW, all of the marbles in my collection are incidental findings as a metal detectorist at house demolition and excavation sites in Nashville, TN. Most of the houses were built from about 1900 to 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I would not classify either as a Snake. Not enough definition of the coils around the inside edge and cannot see through them, at least from these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 First is looking like a swirl and no clue on the second. 4 good clear shots of each marble from every view (each side) including the seams if present will help immensely in the ID process if you have a way to measure them in fractions of an inch (if possible) that can also be another helpful ID marker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 For sure no Akros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I’d say a crusty Vitro of some sort. I think it’s cool 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please see attached photos of marble that you weren’t sure about. Size = 0.60 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
