SequoiaBET Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 Or is it a lazy corkscrew? There is a tracer in the patch, but I can't say the color for sure- dark purple, brown, maybe ox? It's 41/64 (.64) inch with no UV. A related question- Is Akro the only vintage maker that used the champagne pink glass? (I have a sweet champagne and yellow corkscrew of theirs as well.) I know in more modern times JABO had some excellent use of it in their "Aces" run and a couple others. As always, thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 I think it’s a Lazy Cork🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted November 24 Author Report Share Posted November 24 I was wondering about those lines too. Is that a trait of another maker? I don't ever remember seeing anything like them before. They only show in bright light or sun light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 I think it might be some sort of patch... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Transparent purple with translucent orange and a dark tracer of sorts…don’t see that combo often. Cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 The lines on the surface probably indicates that this is a dug marble.🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMarbles Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 I’d probably put in the Akro Patch box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted November 25 Author Report Share Posted November 25 Interesting about the surface lines pointing to a possible dug mib. Is that because they wouldn't have sold it with this 'defect'? And yes, I really love the colors on this one. Definitely a favorite! I'll put it in the collection as an Akro patch, possible dug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what it is IMO Can't think of anything else it could be, maybe in a fish tank for a long, long time ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted November 25 Author Report Share Posted November 25 Ha! You never can tell the history of a marble that made it into the wild- I'm sure there are some with stories to tell! I'm happy to save this one from Davey Jones's locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
