winnie Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think Akro has been inspired by this type of handmade LOL winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 An antique popeye! That's great! I know you're LOL-ing but it's not out of the realm of possibility! The akro ad writers did compare Akro spirals to latticinios. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is there a name for this type other than handmade popeye,is it a Joseph's coat? thanks,winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'd think Joseph's coat is probably the closest category, although it doesn't seem colorful enough (I do see yellow in there). were corkscrews intended to imitate a handgathered pattern?

Chuck G Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 W O W!!! Winnie, very nice handmade and one can see where the hobby is going from the antique to the machine mades. What a great example and we can all see the relationship between them. I never thought much on this till you brought this out, very good thread, thanks Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Many of the same color combos can be found amongst many makers. I believe it was what they thought would be most attractive to the buyers. This probably went back even to the pre-glass days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnersDad Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 That's a pattern that you don't see too often. I would also agree that Joseph's Coat would be the best classification for this marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
