davesnothere Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 Quick group shot to see whether I need single photos. Top 3 in small group are red akros I believe, large group I added some orange etc just to try and balance color . Thanks in advance for any info. 2nd row left has orange peel and is semi transparent and all really out of round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 I agree wtih Melissa--these look like game marbles to me such as would have come with a "Chinese Checkers" game. Unless you really know your Akro these are hard to ID--game marbles. It always involves backlighting them--that being said--you may have a few "Akro Flinties" invloved. These were included by hapinstance in the game filled boxes These are a hard call but if you back-light them they will show a fish-eye effect, this is hard to descibe but they actually look less solid colored than in hand and there will be this mesmerizing effect when back-lit---like a fish eye. Yes. I know the fish eye has been described as the little slits on either cutoff mark but many Akro Marbles will show these. The Akro Flinties also show an opalescent glow to them went back lit--the reds browns are a hard tell though. Hope this helps-- Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 Not bricks, no oxblood. Game marbles, absent indications otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
