OCSFA86 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Folks: Does this qualify as a "egg yoke"? Has a single cluster of hits but sure is a unusual color, for me at least. Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 The impression I've received over the years is that even if it were a complete match with the color of yellow found in egg yolk oxbloods, it still wouldn't be called egg yolk in a popeye. *now stepping back to see what others say* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is that a Vaseline base Popeye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCSFA86 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is that a Vaseline base Popeye? Not sure what that means but if it's UV reactive, the answer is yes like a light pole, lol. I have never had one quite like this before. Normally the yellow bends into an orange tint (love the effect) but this is something different, color in hand is spot on but my knowledge of Popeye"s is sorely waning.

Road Dog Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Nice! Those are harder to find than the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I pesonaly never called those an egg yolk. Ive always refered to them as a flourescent popeyes.(lights up like fire under a black light). I can see where egg yolk popeye would fit,and sounds good to me. Dang!-Now I want an egg sandwich and some chicken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Egg-yolk yellow is a common term used and does vary in many shades (depending) on the base it lies on. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSFA86 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 WOW!! Top left corner is a match (mine lacks the volume of white), thanks. Beautiful group!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is that a Vaseline base Popeye? No. UV maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Dog Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Might have just been the pic. Looks like the base clear had a yellow tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSFA86 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here is UV shot, 4 of the 5 Popeyes don't or barely re-act to UV with the exception of the one we are discussing which lights up like a light bulb. I placed a Vaseline and a Carnelian beside it for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I usually reserve the term "egg yolk" for that distinctive (to me, anyway) and kind of pale scrambled-egg color sometimes seen on/in those nice ground-pontil hand-gathered marbles. But that's just me. I think others use it for some Akros (with oxblood), too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
