dotcomdz Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 This marble looks like it is winking at ya. Couple of people that looked at in person say popeye because there is some clear glass in it. Another said no but that they had never seen an Akro this color that wasn't a popeye. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Luscious lashes. My first thought is not popeye, but I won't argue with anyone who follows up with a popeye vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcomdz Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I dont think it is a popeye either... Just really dont know what to call it since it is not a white base... more like wispy white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 No popeye. I see clear and white mixed. Not enough seperation of the clear and white. Look at these and compare to see the seperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcomdz Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yeh I'm gonna try and back light it and post that pic.... When I shine light through it it looks like clear yellow is the base??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 After yesterday's long conversation I'm almost afraid to tell you what I think the base looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcomdz Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 As you can see in the second pic the yellow glass is clear. So the marble when in hand looks yellow when lit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 That yellow band is unusual (interesting even!) but I believe you probably have a genuine Ace -- by which I mean the marble which Akro called an Ace. Here's an example Dani posted of one she backlit: No yellow band on here, and still a glow inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Very nice looking marble, I think Steph is on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcomdz Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Awesome!!! Thanks!! That clear yellow glass was throwing me for a loop..Might have happened when they switched from a yellow ribbon core over to another style. Anyways makes sense to me!!!
