Ric Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 It does have the Ace base. I am not familiar with an Ace Popeye though. This one's not a Popeye, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 x 2, Agreed, egg yolk ox. definitely not a popeye, no whispy white stranding, a qualifier for a popeye. A close up of the white stranding in a popeye, always suspended in a "clear base" glass matrix. Though many consider these UV. corks pop eyes the stranding is not white, therefore not a popeye a special. The whispy "white" strands are a requirement for it to be a popeye. I have seen Popeyes with uv. and the white stranding riding along side it in the clear base glass, a "hybrid" popeye. Many will argue the point but the base requirement of a popeye is the whispy white strands and a clear base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
