Any chance that one is a Bogard Cat's Eye? It resembles some that I saw in David Chamberlain's article on Bogards. Here is the link to the article.

I would want it to be Akro, but it may be a foreign sparkler. Beautiful marble.

Sure is a keeper!.....I dont want to get knocked on the head for this but here it goes.....the colors and glass just dont seem Akro sparkler to me, IMHO I'm thinking foreign because of the stringy glass arrangement througout the center, transparent crannberry glass in the middle and the "non-Akro" yellow color..........there....now I'm ducking!!!


PS-please dont beat me up

I just thought I would add my 2 cents (not that it matters much) I am thinking foreign sparkler type. Mostly because as chuck says The stringy glass and that transparent red patch. Plus I thought Akro sparklers were um neater more well defined. Just me rambling.
Thanks and a very nice mib regardless of who made it.

hmmm... I think I'm with Lizzy on this. Akro. Those aren't Master colors. I'm inclined not to agree with Chuck. Not throwing stinky fruit. Just think that it is the right glass unless it has orange peel or something else that is obvious. Colours?? Lizzy what do you think of Chuck's point about colours. ? I think Akro and very cool mib Bob.

The construction of it really looks Akro to me....but its the colors that are throwin me off....Pink?, Light yellow, powder blue, and transparent cranberry.....the kicker for me is the "black stringy glass strand" in the last pic (very common in foreign mibs)......Very beautiful marble with a nice set of lashes.......just not feeling Akro Sparkler for me.......unless they made pastel Sparklers.....Not tryin to hijack but heres a related twist......look at the pastel colors on this Akro...(or one could argue Vitro?)
