The Complete Line of The Akro Agate Co. by Roger and Claudia Hardy is considered to be the definitive volume regarding this prolific producer of marbles and children toy dishes. Extremely well-researched, the authors interviewed employees, reviewed countless documents and publications, and even conducted numerous digs on the former company grounds. As a result of the Hardys diligence, The Complete Line of The Akro Agate Co. contains much information that is not available elsewhere. This listing does not include the 1998 Price Guide which we do recommend as it provides additional valuable information. For those who already have The Complete Line of The Akro Agate Co., the Price Guide is offered separately. We also offer a specially priced set of both books.
The book is complete in that all the lines of Akro Agate are presented. The book is divided into three sections (1) Marbles, (2) General Line, and (3) Children's Dishes. The General Line consists of Ashtrays, Bathroom Fixtures, Urns, Flower Pots and Stands, Vases, Jardinieres, Planters, the J.V. Co. Inc. Line, Powder Jars, Candlesticks, Baskets and Bells, Bowls, and Lamps.
The book is lavishly illustrated with thousands of items captured in color pictures. Many items are presented in their original packaging. The narrative is very illuminating. This is a must have book for Akro Agate and/or marble collectors.
Price: $25.50
