The crystal clear base glass with the defining white wispy threads are accompanied by complete corkscrews that include yellow, two distinct shades of green, royal blue, and translucent orange. Popeye and even corkscrew collectors consider this one of the rarest and hardest to find of all the Akro Agate products-- an almost unheard of example to have this many distinct colors and especially in this wonderful mint condition.
CONDITION: MINT 9.6 Wet, shiny, untouched surface with no evidence of any wear of any kind. Close examination reveals two tiny, pin-point size, touch marks that are clearly as made and need the aid of a bright light and lens to see. The little white specs you see are unmelted bits of sodash down inside the marble. The short line near the center of the third picture is a piece of lint from my cleaning rag.
