marblemanvintagemarbles Posted Friday at 04:51 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:51 AM I believe this would be called an Auger right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Auger is like a solid drill bit down the center of the marble. This one seems to have somewhat of a hole down the cneter - therefore not an auger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted Friday at 10:26 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:26 PM Agree. A snake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Friday at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:30 PM Augers should have been named "driil bits". Less confusion. Think of a driil bit, they are alway solid in the middle. Nice marble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted Saturday at 03:59 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:59 PM I thought a snake would only swirl around the outside of the corkscrew. This one seems to have a very wide ribbon. So I thought it was an Auger i have to fix it in my store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Saturday at 04:30 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:30 PM Looks like an Auger to me🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM @chucks_mibs I've got one a lot like that and I consider it an Auger. I think it's always important to remember that these are toy marbles coming off a machine at a surprising rate, and they often don't adhere to our rigid definitions. It seems like on some of these particular types the "core" of the auger spun out a bit from center too, if you get my drift. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not convinced that this one is an Akro--just my humble opinion. I am getting some Asian vibes here.

Why is this one giving you Asian vibes? I would say this one is an Akro based on the 3rd photo, the seam and the eyelashes and the 7th photo, the striations in the clear glass that's what makes me think Akro. I'd love to hear why Asian vibes - I'm always learning! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Oh gosh. I just realized you weren't commenting on the original posted marble. CANCEL! 🙃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nice marble and I just gave an opinion that I will stand by. Many collectors would call this one, the red one, an Akro. We all learn from posts like this and that is why we are here--to learn. Well, this is a group of images of a marble that on my PC, does not show any Akro colors. The base is just not clear/transparent enough and the red--well--not Akro in my experiance at least. We all offer opinions here--this is just my humble opinion and I may be wrong. Keep Marbling On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
