treetiger Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hey folks, I have three contenders for Akro I.D. They seem to all be cork screws; but would the 1st be a Prizename? The Shooter has me scratching my head, and the 3rd---Buttermilk cork? Verification would be very helpful. Thank you-- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Your Shooter is a Blue Egg Yoke Akro Cork. That’s a Top Shelf Boo Yah marble. Congratulations! Those are VHTF. At least I think so. Take some more pics of that one. Try a little back lightning 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treetiger Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Dear Fire1981- Thanks for the I.D. I don't have a UV light yet... it is on my X-mas list. Here are the back lit pix you wanted. Egg Yolk Blue Cork/Akro! Cool! Do you have any ideas about the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 The first is a Prizename and the last is a two-color Spiral (Corkscrew). I never heard of a "Buttermilk" Akro. That name is usually associated with a particular type of Vitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it listed earlier and got confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Treetiger, very nice examples. Ric is correct, the term "Buttermilk" is by most collectors is a name for Vitro. Now your shooter big Akro i do remember years ago there was a name for that one someone tagged but i do not remember the name. Peltier produced an example with the same color combinations called the "Wolverine". All three of your examples (could have) been in Akros Salesman Sample box but not sure on that.

Chuck G--- Thank you Chuck- I will write down the information that you have shared. As for "Buttermilk", I got confused with the term 'Buttermilk' thinking it was a name used for the milky yellow/white blending- like you can see in buttermilk that you might use for baking. I figured out my mistake(Vitro), and removed the word from the header. Sorry for the mix up---my bad. Best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Treetiger, you are welcome. Always remember when the term is mentioned as "Buttermilk" it is from all i have learned a certain (pattern) of Vitro with this (light yellow) color to it.
