treetiger Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 This might be an Akro cork screw that didn't quite make it?--but I would like opinions on it just the same. It is 5/8", and has seen some action in the past. The photos don't quite convey the warmth of the colors; and the satin sheen is due to its age. I am giving it a good home to rest. Thanks as always for the help. Best wishes P>S. Apologies for the cat hairs they get EVERYWHERE! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while checking the U.V. on another marble, guess who started 'smoldering'? Here are the pics! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just a reminder for you. Always check the UV content in any Akro. You may get a surprise on some examples you find. Clear base Akro corkscrew with a (white) cork you will find unexpected results. For example i found one with a UV "pigtail" in the center of it. Unexpected surprises yield a lot of joy.
