Chad G. Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Contains av. silver & "so called" dirty, & oxblood, I already know what it is just posting to show that there are oddballs' every once in a while. Time to take a swing, it does have characteristics of the manufacturer and a certain named type. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I also know what this is . . . pretty sure I've seen some of them come out of the Sistersville Alley site . . . 😉 Is the oxblood burnt? I'm not seeing it. I do see "horsehair" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the image quality Ric. There is a marble made by this manufacturer that has a bit of the "dirty oxblood" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yep, the infamous "Alley patch" that years ago had many of us, myself included, considering the remote possibility that Alley made patches. Thankfully that was put to rest. So many other types of Akros were dug there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff54 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 While I do not have a photo of my Black oxblood patch, like yours, and the same in clear without a green stripe, I am pretty sure that these photos along with your patch come close to almost everything special, particularly unusual or considered 'experiential' the French pipe yielded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Jeff, first photo example is HTF, especially with red glass. Second photo, you can find with a little searching. Third photo looks like an Akro (dug) example, (could be wrong with that). Fourth photo is another HTF example, as i (in my opinion) is an Akro "Ringer" family type but is in a clear base with some translucency to the mix. I have found all these examples and evaluated them in the Akro family. Chuck G--- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added to the black base patch because it and the rest are part of the new topic migration of The so-called Duch drain dig. Photo 3 is known as "experiential Oxblood" and photo 4 is known the same and yet it is not Oxblood. The missing shot of these would be clear oxblood patch without any other colors, and or no green. so, all together it makes a set of most of, if not all of the verities found in that dig.
