    WOW! As an Akro marble collector I couldn't be more pleased with this weekend's finds. Bought a large candy jar full of marbles yesterday on the cheap. Turns out it was chock full of quality Akro marbles which I collect. There was even an error football corkscrew in the mix! In second image you see three 1" corkscrews, an egg yolk oxblood, a lemonade oxblood and a blue/yellow Popeye I scored in another cheap deal. The other pictured mibs as well as third image are some of the better examples from the "jar" purchase.
    NEVER HAD A BETTER WEEKEND OF MARBLE FINDS!!

      That IS an awesome find! I have quite a few marbles from years ago when I actively collected them, though I don't know the names of them like you do....I also have some really old pottery marbles and some that were made from excess glass trimmings from pressed glass molds.

      Nicefice, It would seem we are about the same age. Played quite a bit myself during the same time frame but we were using Vitro, Marble King with veneered colors, or the death of US manufactured marbles, Japanese cats eyes. You're absolutely correct--Akro made a real quality marble with killer glass colors and patterns. Started collecting marbles about 20 years ago and after couple years of buying everything that I liked knew I would end up very poor so settled on Akro. Still eating bologna and hot dogs though!

      antiquerose, Thank you very much! Always on the hunt for pre 1950 marbles. Even if they aren't Akro I buy to sell or trade.
