Hi everyone. I'm curious what y'all would call these?

Thanks!

Ah -  I should have been more specific . . . my apologies.

I do know they are Akro corkscrew. I was wondering what color they would be known as? thx.

I believe mabye ringers without looking it up 

..😁

Heh; I just spent 45 minutes looking up "ringers". .. 

Seems these could be ringers, or imperials, or even moss corkscrew, depending on which "absolute authority" on the internet you want to believe. Wow. I do get that Akro had one name and collectors have another sometimes, but even without that there's a lot of room to play.

"Carnelian", or "Red"?

Believe it or not, when Akro sold them Akro called them Moss Agates.

Ya In my search, I saw your post from some years ago where you explained that. Was interesting & informative and made everything a bit less clear 🙂 . No blame though; I appreciate hearing from someone who has that sort of deep knowledge.

At the end of the day, it seems to just boil down to is it a cool marble and do people like it enough to want to spend money on it, no matter what it's called? I guess that's not such a bad thing. .
