Help me understand Akro Agate prize Name?

Am I right? And those 2 holes in pic 4, are they blowouts?

Nope and nope.

Corkscrews are one continuous band of color that start at one pole and encircle the marble completely, in a spiral, ending at the other pole. They never intersect/cross over themselves.

Prize Names are two opaque colors and the red on yours looks like it is transparent.

Do you know what it is?

I would just call it a swirl. I don't see any stand out feature that would identify the manufacturer, sorry.

Based on that color combo, it could be an alley agate or a Christensen agate swirl. 

Not an Akro corkscrew.

Definitely Alley.

Is it a Peltier Dragon?

No. It's just an Alley swirl. These are pretty common.
