Leigh Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm not sure if it's okay to ask this here as it's not really for a marble ID, but is marble related. I bought this Popeye vending machine a few weeks ago at a thrift store. I'm thinking of selling it, but am not sure what year it might be from (the top is glass and metal, but the bottom base is a very heavy plastic). Does anyone know the year for this and if they are hard to find? I see one on Worthpoint, but I'm not a member there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It's a nice vending machine. My guess is it's from 60s or later - long after Akro was selling Popeye boxes with a pouch for 10 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yeah, I figured with it not being all metal on the bottom that it wasn't pre-1960. Shame it wasn't filled with Akro Popeyes when I bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It is a fake reproduction looking like the original Oak brand machines. It may be a newer Oak brand but none had any Popeye on them. This one maybe even 1970 or 80's. I don't think any original had Popeye on it or any with Popeye marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think its from the last 2 decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Great! It will surely take a lot of Popeyes to fill that machine! Just make sure you only put the junky ones in there. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
