What is extra special about it is looking from one pole you see a black and white spiral, from the oppisit pole you see a brown and white spiral! I told Ernie it the best cork I've ever seen period! He told me it is what got him started collecting Akro. Dani has shown it in their avatar on the other boards but it's so full the clear does not show and the photo is no match for the marble in hand! Dave the marble you posted the link to the buyer is Alan S. he's a fellow member of the IAMC club, I may get to see it in hand, but I think yours is more uncommon with the lt. blue!

I took a quick pic of a few of my keepers, all mint save for one tortured beauty. <br /> <br />Patry I think I have the fanged-friend of that venomous fiend; it's in the lower right-hand corner of the (lousy) pic. Mine is an onyx, though, it's on a light honey base glass, but they certainly look related. I also have a three-color cousin, center top. Clear glass, yellow, light orange and black, it's better in hand than the pic shows. <br /> <br />Bo, you're right, Terry T. would be all over this one; he's an encyclopaedia for Akro & clear-based especially. For single colors I'd argue the point about white being most common; I'd say yellow is the most ubiquitous. I'd also say it's a tough call on red & two color, especially if you throw out white; I'd have to give the edge to a true two color being tougher, and certainly higher in value. <br /> <br />For two colors I've also seen (and sold, what an idiot) a purple & green, red & black, and brown & white. I know you don't count white, but see the pic lower left - it's brown, not oxblood, and I haven't seen it's like but once. Mine has internal fractures like crazy, but the price was right; gratis. <br /> <br />The one top right looks darn close to the one just sold on eBay. I guess I'm going to have to start treating it better; next thing you know it'll want a raise, more benefits, sheesh it's a good thing these things don't eat much... <br /> <br /><img src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn224/madaboutmibs/Snakes021.jpg" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>roany poany</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 11:15 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">wowzza Patry. venomous, yes! <br /> <br /> <br />chris, if you want musical goteochs you'll have to pull my uncle's finger. <br /> here is my favorite 2 color whatchamacallit <br /><img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/BuddyB/fav5.jpg" border="0" /> <br /><img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/BuddyB/fav6.jpg" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/BuddyB/crossfingers.jpg" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>tankgrrl29</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 5:21 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">EDIT: Hi Dave, it's Lizzy sneaking into your post.

Any pics to post up? <br /> I remember seeing that purple, blue and gray one in a post several years ago. <br /> Green and Yellow sounds neat. Are the colours Popeyeish or different? <br /> <br /> Crap my list seems moot with the addition of these new ones to me. Now I have to hunt even harder than before. <br /> <br /> <br />P.S Thanks for the accente gou tick Lizzie. Bet lots of people were wondering what I was talking about.
