Steph Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Here's a box from one of Marblealan's auctions. Popeye marbles are named after the box. They're not the only marble style which was sold in the Popeye boxes. They're in the boxes a lot though and won the name. Their real name to Akro back in the 30's was Tri-Onyx Agates. (click pix to enlarge) p.s., here's a close-up of two marbles from that box. One is a true popeye patch - a marble which was meant to be a cork but didn't get spun.

Pene-lope Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks Steph, finally feel like maybe I am getting the hang of it, maybe. Certainly clears up the name for me. Great box and marbles are you the lucky owner? Pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
