I like these too William, I wonder who made them. Pink or purple in a marble is aways a cool thing. Gray is just different for sure. Marble--On!!

I have one that is the repair bin. I took it out and sniffed it--just because. Guess what, it smells just like a Popeye marble, now you know. Marble--On!!

Do not be afraid of a lack of knowledge, we all have it in one form or another regarding marbles. Some know this and some know that and there are alot of this and thats. We are all here to help sort it out. There are very few experts in the entire field of collecting marbles. Just remember to Marble--On!

I really think that this one is the real deal Ric. Just another version, early or late I cannot say. There was another pouch that had a full fledged Popeye on it--bigger box I believe. All that I know is watching this is like a dog watching TV--out of my realm, I think that a nap is better--LOL These bags are being reproduced--just not the same--so far. Here are two links https://www.ebay.com/itm/203758860140?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A18eZTq-h-SJ-cUmqAeul6JQ75&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=203758860140&targetid=1262407448140&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9018722&poi=&campaignid=15275224983&mkgroupid=131097072938&rlsatarget=pla-1262407448140&abcId=9300697&merchantid=101702655&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt7bMgKC09QIVpTY4Ch0V0w6HEAQYAiABEgIoG_D_BwE https://www.ebay.com/itm/265484581967?hash=item3dd01d3c4f:g:cqUAAOSwKb5h1L1D

Schmuck---lol, I'll join in on that. Welcome Tinyplanets---post away. I wil always enjoy an ID request. Marble--On!!

You just never know it all do you? I sure do not--- Here is a link to an auction with a similar pouch. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1929-akro-agate-red-popeye-1814644144

This is a very nice marble and the images are stellar. The middle image in the top group is very interesting. I would sort it as a Master Made marble. Love it!! Marble—On!!

Jabo X2---nice one! Marble--On!!

I just hate to disagree with anyone. I would rather agree and not post. I just call them like I see them. I hold back on many Id's Character defect, I have plenty---not sorry

Funny thing Ric, I agree but in the reverse. The one on the right is a Vitro, the middle one is an Akro. The one one the left---Foreign, Imperial perhaps. It may be a Master Marble--On!!

Hmmm, Sorry Ric. Stress fractures, size, colors. It is not a Pelt. I would hate to call it a Master. Experimental Akro perhaps. Marble—On!!

These are seen in blue and white, often called Delft and more common than this color for sure. Not hand painted but using form of transfer glaze. The hole may have been made for a hanger of some sort. Porcelain, clay etc etc, who cares. It is a very cool find. Do not drop it--LOL.

Great post Mojo. Marble--On!!

Well, this is an odd one. It sure looks like it wants to be a corkscrew then decided to be a slag. More opinions needed. Marble--On!!

The two red white and blue have been a topic for discussion before. Akro-Vitro-MK The red white and black next to them may be a vitro. The rest look MK to me. Marble--On!!

Very cool orbs, I would have jumped on them as well. Marble--On!!

The pouch appears to have been made inside out, on the front at least. The popeye pouches are “leatherette” with a smooth leather feel to the outside of the fabric. The inside of the pouch will have more of a fabric look to it. The pouch also has a less commonly seen zig-zag cut to the top rather than the more common scalloped cut. These zig-zag pouches will show a deeper seam thread(deeper into the interior of the pouch) and one that is not so straight and true. Most popeye pouches, the one with the scalloped-cut top, have very nice and neat straight seams. I am not trying to say that this pouch is not the real thing, just an oddity, probably made by a less talented seamstress. If I were interested in this box, I would ask for better images of the pouch, front back and a little shot of the interior as well but that is just me. I would expect to find a smooth side on the inside of this pouch regardless. As far as the box goes, there are no marble bruises/marks on the insert, an indication to me that it probably has not been handled too much. The same seller sold the box in the following link yesterday https://www.ebay.com/itm/154785168896?hash=item2409ea3e00%3Ag%3A%7EmYAAOSwaylh2LcK&nma=true&si=Y0kCk0WZ9%252FF%252BaF9tQHwn5nbhIbY%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Marble—On!!

Pelt x2.

Ok, this is the second time this week that I had to look up a word between you and Steph. I am just a simple guy growing great stuff in his garden and sometimes finding a marble or two along with it. Greens are about as healty as you can get--my guttug loves them. I will take palindrome as a compliment because that is what I have always been, just ask anyone--LOL. Thanks (akroorka) Try some greens, easy to grow and as healthy as a traf (not quite but close) !

Yes my friend, Akro.

Good job Jeremy, It is a corkscrew. If it is your first ID on one, put it in a special place. This one will open many windows for you in the future. Marble--On!!

Collect Akros long enough and expect to see anything, in any color combo, they are endless and always seem to surprise me to this day. I have so many one--offs that I sometimes think that they ran 100 at a time--lol. This is a hard cullet to ID and your instincts are as close as any may be. Akro--On!!

I really hate to keep going in this direction with blue and yellow swirls. I do not think for one minute that your marble is a CAC. The second one I have no clue. Just check out this link and you may agree. https://www.westvirginiaswirls.com/copy-of-alox-1 I just call them like I see them. A very nice marble--but--- Marble--On!!
