savage-28 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I asked the seller about the Brick, Corkscrew, & Popeye. Here's his response..... "These all came from an Akro Employees family. They are all definately Akro and are all quite rare. They could hace been expermiental. The rarest is the popeye. I did have it looked at by a person who wrote the book on Akro and they verified it is an Akro." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydetul62 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 They talked to the person that wrote the Akro book but doesnt put the name. Nice CYA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 If memory serves..(sometimes it does!) I believe that 'popeye' was sold on ebay about 6-8 years ago, heck maybe longer. i think it was discussed on a board then. anyone else get a deja vu on this?
