akronmarbles Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Most likely Akro IMHO. The fine line drizzle is visible on many excavated examples from the factory site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love this stuff—great info share Akron! This is just a “Killer Brick”. I just love it! Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to sound very naive, but are they connected to block auctions? I’m not familiar with the eBay seller that has this marble, I found it just because I was looking for bricks. Admittedly I’m still a greenhorn Edit: (I just looked it up and answered my own question) If they say something is a CAC, how reliable are they? Is there still decent room for error on what they call something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 MFC IMO, Akro Bricks were infamous for having drizzle like that but verry little if any white like MFC as far as I know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
