Toy marbles: arguably the most influential part of boy’s and girl’s childhoods from a by-gone era. The Akro Agate Company rose to become the world leader in a crowded field of manufacturers of these mystical glass balls. No toy company has surpassed this feat; it’s unlikely one ever will.

Akro Agates are coveted — collected by those same children, now adults today. This website is dedicated to compiling their accurate history, answering questions about these toys of yesteryear. A book is scheduled for publishing; autumn 2026 — The History of Akro Agate Marbles.
