Ric Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 This is a really nice Master but I don't think I would call that brown color oxblood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have taken a few pictures with the light shinning through. I think that shows the potential Oxblood better. I have a few sparklers with OX and this has the same exact characteristics under light. Really like this MIB even with it’s flaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in that first photo, the colors, the translucent, almost opalescent looking glass with prominent bubbles, the angle of the seam, all perfect imo. Gorgeous. I have a Brushed Patch Master with Oxblood that I know I've taken pictures of, I'll see if I can find it if it helps. I'll post the photos here when I find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Question: Akro Sparklers predate date this Master? Right? So....this means Master ended up using their own machines and none of the Akro machines that were left at the Akro Factory when it closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco005 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Found the photos at least, but I'll need to find the marble to get the size. I have one very similar that came with this Master, but the Ox is nowhere near as pronounced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve come to realize in just 2 short years of collecting that sometimes it doesn’t matter who’s the maker sometimes. Master or Akro sparkler??? Sure it would be nice to know for sure but It’s a great marble that will go on the shelf. We will label it master/Akro and put an appropriate $ amount to reflect its size, condition and uniqueness. I guess what I’m trying to say it’s a keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
