marboman Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I don't know much about pop-eyes but I'm wondering if this might be?The size is 5/8" and light will pass through it,not opaque.Need opinions on what type of cork it could be please.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Very interesting. I don't recognize that as a popeye. I'm guessing the modern collector's name for that might be "special". (I use that word hesitantly for reasons of my own. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Marbles Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Akro, yes; but not a pop-eye. Missing the clear and whispy white between 2 or more colors. Can you take a back light picture of it. I would like to see that. Does it black lite? I like the eye lashes on it. Thanks for sharing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 My guess for the marble would be that it could be from the era which produced the marbles in these boxes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marboman Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks everyone.I went back this morning and got the rest of these.Steph I can see the similarity to those marbles you refer to thank you.So if there not pop-eyes would it be fair to say these are an unusual color combo?I'm thinking of putting some of these on e-bay and want to get my info correct.Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm thinking yes to "unusual" but I'll move this to the other forum to get more opinions .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
