Akro Patch
This is an Akro Agate patch. It is 5/8" diameter and with a lots of character. It is a green based marble with a blue brushed patch . This patch has little fingers of color that extend beyond the crimp. Some call this pre-freese. I am not certain this is an Akro Agate, but the fact is Akro Agate did make patch marbles. Yes they did make the corkscrews, patches, slags, and solids. Every company from that era made all these types of marbles, not just one style as some believe. The coloring of the glass makes me believe that this is an Akro Agate. The color is very similiar to some corkscrews that I have or seen.
