Pre--taped--pretty cool to see these all tied up with string. I just love this stuff---regardless of the price. You have to start somewhere.

duotone Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 These are amazing. Way out of reach, but great Akro reference photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 A lot of Special boxes. Contents are in line with my understanding of the Akro's intention for the label, not with the current collector use of the name. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted November 5 Author Report Share Posted November 5 This is some crazy stuff and imho these are left over stock from the Master Glass buy-out of Akro or a last ditch effort from Akro. Regardless--a great topic for discussion. Lets call in some more opinions from @Ric @cheese @Chad G. @stephenb @Nantucketdink and any others that I do not remember right now.

bumblebee Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 These finds always get my imagination whirling...you know somewhere out there in some forgot warehouse there's a stack of even better original boxes (probably quite water damaged) waiting to be found. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
