Books on Akron Marbles

Coming in 2003:

"M.F. Christensen and the Perfect Glass Ball Machine"

By Michael Cohill and Brian Graham

This book will chronicle once and for all (we hope!) the life of Martin Frederick Christensen. It covers his patents on sphere making, how to identify the marbles made by Mr. Christensen, original company records, family photos, etc. All perfect bound for hours of enjoyment, including color plates! As soon as the book is available, we will post further information.

Future book subjects include:

The James Harvey Leighton Story

The Sam Dyke Story- including all other ceramic marble manufacturers

The Christensen Agate Story

The Akro Agate Story

We have also been contemplating a book on the "Marble King"-Berry Pink
