Mr Meteorite Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Looks like a snake to me, never seen an augur with a perfect "hurricane eye" like this, but Ima really new still learning newbie stuff so if I'm wrong, I apologize in advance.

Mr Meteorite Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 This is 63/64", basically an inch Akro. Not sure what, I have a couple ideas of possibilities, but not sure what, it's Akro, there's ox, but anyone know what it is? Would it be rare to be 1", not to mention mint condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Gotta be a Tri-Color Agate. I don't think it would be called rare, but don't see 'em everyday. That is a beautiful spiral in red and white no matter what you call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 On 6/16/2007 at 3:07 AM, Steph said: (click pix to enlarge) Here's an ad Dani showed in a fire opal discussion. It also has many Akro cartons. Note the descriptions of what each should contain, at least at that time. No. 32 carton: One from Marblealan: Another, possibly from Block: Dani's ad seem to say that there was originally a formula for how to fill these. So far I haven't found one which matches the formula. Though it's possible than these have been backfilled, it is also very easy to believe that the formula turned out to be too inconvenient. This one appears to have more corks than the other 2. So it might come closer to fitting the pattern in Dani's ad but I don't see a cardinal red or any other onyx. That might be an Imperial on the bottom right. No. A-16, I think from Block: Omgosh Steph. So after collecting Akro marbles for years, I just purchased my first Akro box a couple weeks ago, and was going to start looking here to find out what kind of marbles were actually in the box as sold. From the pictures here, it looks like these marbles match your photos, especially Alan's! Here are the marbles from my No, 32 carton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I have some more I'd like to add, if you're still collecting photos Steph: 1. Transparent and opaque Green cork on a dark transparent Red base 2. Yellow on a wispy, bubbly Blue base 3. a Blueblood 4. a Green and true Black cork (a VERY thin layer of Ox over the Black, really only visible with a loupe, which I finally have) 5. UV reactive Popeye 6. a Blue and Gray cork on a translucent base (with flash, and without flash) 7. Orange, Cream, and dark Blue on a translucent base, it took me a long time to find one of these. 8. Oxblood on a butterscotch/cream color base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I thought these could have their own post. Cobalt and White on a translucent base, they average about 1" in size. The bottom left one corks in the opposite direction from the rest, I thought that was pretty cool. Edit: There are two separate photos, one above and one below, but both are of the same six shooters and in the same order, showing both 'poles'.

disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 1. Blue and Green on a transparent Red base 2. Green Spiral 3. a transparent Orange Snake on clear base 4. Orange and Black cork on Moss base 5. Orange cork on an unusual translucent Red base 6. Red and Brown lazy cork shooters 15/16" 7. Yellow and darker Green on a light Green base. Extremely difficult to find. 8. Yellow and White cork on a transparent Blue base (although at certain angles it looks like the base could be clear) Thanks for looking! -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 1. UV reactive Brown cork 2. Periwinkle corks on translucent base 3. Brown, Black, and White cork 4. not sure what to call this one, but it looks like someone tried to blend all the colors and this is the result. Many annealing fractures, but still a favorite.

disco005 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 1. Yellow cork on a transparent Teal base, almost always fractured. I think Dani Kirk has one that isn't fractured. 2. Blue/Gray cork on a brilliant Orange 3. Brown, Red, Green, and White on a bubbly Amber base 4. Light Blue Spiral, could pass for a Snake -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
