Akro Friday


Recommended Posts

"Happy Akro Friday" not a Popeye, there is no transparent clear base glass or whispy white strands running through it. Instead a highly uv. Lemonade base w/ yellow strands going through it. Many want to call these Popeyes but they simply don't qualify, there is a specific name for this type but it fails me right now  :eusa_doh:  I gifted it to a good marble Brother of mine overseas. This was the cleanest of this type I owned, lashes yes but barely visible, an outstanding marble, not even a dimple , good sized @ between 11/16ths & 45/64ths.

Sorry I couldn't remember the specific name of the OP pic, I'm having a brain f***. Seems like I'm having alot more of them these days. Maybe you can spot the problem ?? Here's an x-ray of my bean ...  image.png.0a9c776cad78ae25712af5e44b2e948a.png

A couple more (Old) shots. I haven't taken any new photos of this one.

It might have been polished. I bought it knowing this info, but I wanted it in hand anyways so I ponied up and here it is.

By the way, what is shoe grease?
