Marketed by the Akro Agate Co. as a TRI-COLOR SPECIAL, this little black, white, and red gem has taken on the name of "REBEL" by collectors--the name formally reserved for the Peltier NLR of the same colors.
The ribbons are all closely the same size and the striking contrast of each to the other cause this piece of eye-candy to stand out markedly amongst it's relatives. The diminuitive eyelash-like marks are visible at the poles marking a pre-1922 production date, which was when the so-called "Freeze" Improvement was installed to remove such markings. CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 or better. The surface is wet and shiny looking with no wear or visible signs of use of any kind. Very clean and slick. You may click here to view the grading system I use. Size 16.57mm or 0.650" at the equator. | |||||
