Just another Alley for Slags & Swirls Saturday . . .

Some folks might call those "Blended" Bees.

That's a good collection of spirals, Joep!

Nice bags, Joep. The Buddy is Ravenswood. I haven't seen many of the small Bogard Cat's Eye bags.
-
I think marbles like this might be found in a Sparkler box - I'd call it a Sparkler Patch. The structure reminds me of an "eye" patch but on a transparent base with wispy white - sorta like a cross between a Sparkler and a Popeye Patch. It's a really pretty marble but a weak example of a Sparkler in my mind.
-
I think Alley.
-
I think they're all Champion.
-
The first looks like a Type I Tiger Eye with some blue covering what should have been a white polar patch. The second looks like a dug Akro to me.
-
It looks more like an Alley than any other American manufacturer to me.
-
Do you suppose that the Popeye patches were "errors" or just a patch styles purposefully made using the same color combos as the Popeyes? Because, as you said, you can find patches in the colors of most of the spirals, and based on their numbers, I wouldn't assume they were errors.
-
I think it's an Akro - cool base glass.
-
Some may have become available from early diggers, I think a small number of people with hand equipment were digging there as early as the 1960s.

I love fresh asparagus! When I was young I used to collect it in the wild for my Mom who canned it. A full paper grocery sack was a typical harvest.
-
I'd be browsing on the asparagus, for sure. lol
-
It really does look like you have some great plantings. We tried to start some things but the deer around here are plentiful and ravenous - gave up after a few years and a bunch of money trying.
-
Maybe one of those "bird-like" Akro patches gone weird?
-
Again, pretty sure it's Akro but I'm not sure it's a Popeye Patch, it'd be another rare one.
-
I do think it's an Akro patch but I'm not sure it's a Popeye Patch. It'd be a rare color combo, for sure.
-
Maybe JABO?
-
Might be Master.

@Melissa It looks like you have a great garden with a really nice variety of plants. Was all or some of it established when you came upon it or is it all your doing?
-
I think "Popeye" is a collector's name. I don't think the company ever sold them as such. I believe they got their name because of the Popeye the Sailorman packaging Akro put them in, although I am not sure if they were found in other packaging or not.
