Marbleneophyte Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 A very bland marble until you hit it with black light. Is it Akro? Is it a Crow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Is that some random chunky av in the mib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 It sure is. I looked at it with a loop and there are 3 tiny chunks. I have a few more of these but I didn't see any AV. It measures 17/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 It's always important to see both seams and size counts too. At this point, one thing I can say for sure is that it's not an Akro Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Measures 13/17. After looking at examples of Crows I don't think it's one either. Industrial marble maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Akro Crow? I thought that went the way of the rest of the nonsense and lies of Debbie and Clifford 'Keocliffy's Fabricated garbage of some dug-up patches, what 20 years ago?, Ha, ha!, Ha! Worthpoint still has Clifford White's horse crap story and photos of them from their ebay scams: Quote "These crows on a canteloupe base are really wild and was fortunate enough to aquire several and are very early handgathered marbles . This one is mint at 3/4 with a really nice strike and a fingernail type pontil which they all have. Probably one of Akro Agates earliest marbles and marble makers might have been trying to get a crow which is their trademark on a marble and were'nt safisfied so these never hit the market. Very popular now but not too many around and are somewhat scarce especially the good strikes like this one and good size also as most 13/16 this a bit smaller and better centered and more crowlike. Not for children under 7 as poses a choking hazard. Shipping and handling is 6.00 and go" AKRO AGATE GENUINE HANDGATHERED CROW WITH GREAT STRIKE :early and rare marble!! | #1750010959 (worthpoint.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you had to have a professional manicure and everything. Those guys were like hand-gathering Ninjas! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
