My favorite popeye

An Alley oxblood

This one is on a clear red base, some orange when under UV.

AKRO oxblood on an Amber base, glowing green under UV. Never seen green before…

Same here, this my first that I tried to ID as Kokomo. the second one was in my akro pile, but the glass seemed a little off. Almost opalescent. Did akro ever use opalescent glass?

Saw the new video on these marbles, wondering if these fit the bill.

Is this considered bifurcated?

I collect those as well…

I was on OfferUp looking for knives, and this popped up. Waiting for a response if they are for sale…

My wife says she is going to start “regifting” stuff in storage for my birthday and Xmas presents…

By the convention center a few years ago.

I’d be happy if I never had to go into Seattle again, but my work requires it. Fortunately, not very often.

My latest…2 thumb pots.

To top off my “small” score, I doubled the size of my sulphide collection with a mint 2” squirrel! with a 3” Blenko paperweight as a kicker. we also discovered (via Craigslist) 2 boxes of 10 Blenko colored glass dalles, each is 8”x12”x1” thick. About 9lbs/dalle, so 180lbs in total. Thinking about adding them to our fence, similar to the fences at the Blenko Visitors Center in Milton, WV. For those of you thinking about visiting Portland, I advise against it. Haven’t been there in 7 years, it is a worse sh…le than Seattle. Homeless camps everywhere, in every park, street corner, even in neighborhoods between houses. Very sad…

My “small” score…🥴 A pair of 1-1/4” thumb pots.

Found this today, seller wants $350. 12 drawers with 7/8” clearance, 98 pockets/drawer. didn’t buy it yet, trying to figure out where I would put it. it would give me room for MORE🤣🤣

Three ribbon corkscrew…

Wowser, from BB current auction. Didn’t see that coming…🤑 https://bid.marbleauctions.com/lots/view/4-6H6BU7/marbles-akro-agate-company-corkscrew-2332-near-mint-89

My personal favorites

Anacortes WA cats?

A+++ for this post!

haha, those were the losers, although the Leighton winner is a “little” banged up.

From my last score…

Purple
