jeeperman Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 32 minutes ago, Steph said: That's an oh-so-beautiful puzzle piece maybe falling into place, but still some missing pieces around it. Since Milky Oxbloods are so different from Silver, I didn't have a good idea of what they might be called or when they might have been made/sold. I have seen silver in original packaging, but only had a "maybe" (that I can recall) on milky. Now ... do we have ads showing Hy-Grade .... trying to recall .... "One of these days" I need to make a big poster on my wall to help me keep all this stuff in place. I have a better than average memory much of the time, but lately it needs some help. I figured this might get the researcher in you intrigued. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I now have two favorite white based corks, the orange/black is new. I love the contrast in these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprchik Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Got my first oxblood the other day. (is this called a Tri-Colored Agate?) And... are those tiny little streaks "eyelashes"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Eyelashes are typically a little longer coming from the seam outward. Here is a pic that I use to show lashes, although you won't typically find this many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Close on the name. "Tri-Color Agates" is what the box said. No "ed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprchik Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 New addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 another unusual one ... you're bringing together a special collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprchik Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I don't know if there's much meaning in me saying "I've never seen anything like it yet!" since I'm still pretty new, and I'm sure there are TONS of things I still haven't seen yet, LOL! But yeah that one jumped out at me as particularly unusual (to me, in my limited experience so far!) and I thought it was super cool! Anyone have any pictures of other Akros like that? Would love to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wow! That's fantastic! I've never seen an Ox patch on a blue base like that, seems unusual to me I have one on an amber base but have seen others on an amber base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprchik Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Ooo, cool!!! Don't think I've seen that either! I really like that combo, ox on amber. Sweet! Thanks for sharing that one Disco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindPW Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Here are some lovelies I just received. Probably pretty basic as far as Akros are concerned. But they are a nice addition to my small collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 the blue and yellow is pretty bold. My inner 1932 eight-year-old boy likes that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Thanks! I guess it's a moss agate with AV and a 2-color patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
