 |

| Quote: | I have been told that this is an Akro Crow Prefreese marble. I have read that this was Akro's attempt to make a marble with a "Crow" on it to go with their Company slogan "Shoots Straight as a Crow Flies". Anyone know much about these marbles?

This is another myth (love how the myth even combines the "prefreese" term, along with the myth about the "Crow"-a collector's name being made deliberately by Akro.  Now of course, one day someone might unearth paperwork that supports the story of the "Crow" being a deliberately made production marble...............until then, I consider it a myth.
It seems that there has not been any evidence uncovered via Akro company paperwork that shows that it was deliberately made. Probably came about by the "diggers" to increase the value of these Akros.
Here are some pictures of the marble in question.

| Got to admit of all the myths that have materialized regarding marbles this one is kinda cool and the marbles are definitely deserving of the name. David |
