jlmoriarty Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 A 21/32 mint experimental Akro Sparkler from a terrific seller. I have two other siblings which will make a home for this wandering soul. Sweet! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest browse4antiques Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Very hot sparkler. I like the way the red is formed in thin threads. It reminds me of some of the German ones (as shown below), but the Akros are much richer in colors (and richer in value). ... Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmoriarty Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have always heard it referred to as "experimental" when it shows up. All the fine thread-y filaments as opposed to what my avatar looks like where the filaments are "sculpted" and the fact that it never made it into widespread production as far as I know. On the other hand it is not a dug example either. Maybe Scott can shed some more light on it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmoriarty Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Steve~~ I realize mint examples were dug, but I now have three wet mint ones. Coincidence? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
