Rare hand-gathered one that some call an Akro "Cyclone". Smile

Great thread, Liz, because these were found in the dump site is it because of the colors were off?,, i have had this mib for a while now trying to pinpoint a maker and studying your photo ide say it was a close match but different colors, what do you think?,,,bj

BJ, from what I understand............there were many reasons that Akros were discarded....... from colors/sizes/patterns being wrong to corks not corking and various other reasons. Laughing

Also the one that I called a "Cyclone" above has been called "Experimental" by some.........just like these other hand-gathered types found during the "digs"(Gary-BR569's pic) The top one is the same type as mine although the glass appears pink-ish in Gary's photo but I think that's just the light. All the ones that I've seen/heard of, are in the colors like the one that I posted.

Hand-gathered "Experimentals"? from the digs.


Were they really "experimental"............I don't know. Wink Maybe they were and then they didn't think that they were marketable?

I'd say that yours is a stumper..............for me anyway. hehe Maybe someone else might have an idea. Smile

I agree, awesome HG's Lizzy. That green one is a cool color. I love the Cornelian types with yellow in them too, cool mibs IMHO.

BJ:

Your blue and white marble looks like a Vitro Agate conqueror to me - just a little mis-shaped from spinning.

The 5/8" cork in front is just for scale and is not from the 'digs').
