Thank you Art! I like to see those washed out green ones !! 

Here you go Gladys, some washed out Popeye’s.
I got these in the same lot on a day that I will never forget. I placed a bid early on 9/11 and forgot about them for a few days. Marbles were not on my mind that day but life went on and there they came.
I figure with both the reds and the greens washed out like they were --- that they may have been a later run of Popeye’s—not near as vibrant as the originals. These are just my thoughts.
I had some blue and yellow that looked pretty “normal” and a red white and blue that I will always cherish that came in the same lot.
Lots of Popeye’s on a very bad day but life does go on!
Marble On!!!
 And respect to all of those that lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11.

Yes, this is an Akro corkscrew—not a slag, WVS or any other.
One image looks like it has a signature---eyelashes that look to say AA to me—😍.
This one is 5/8” and would be a hard ID for those new to the hobby/addiction and I do not blame them for selling it so cheap in the lot that it came with---😘.
The last set of images is for @Fire1981.:Panic:
Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do.

Marble--On!!

Took the wife antiquing today.  Found those along the way.  Most are 11/16 with exception of top which is 13/16.  That one also fluoresces .  I have suspicions of whether the two below the larger one are actually Akro - one is definitely a patch the other is a sloppy cork for lack of better word.  Ringers or Popeyes???

I also picked up an Akro urn and a thumb pot.

i don’t usually pick up beer trays but loved the graphics on this Miller and it’ll go with the tip tray I have.

This one is an Akro Cornelian.

The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials"
The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless.
Marble—On!!
 

Thanks! Still a learnin — 

As far as the Thumb pot I seem to remember reading if Braun & Corwin on bottom it was Alley.  This one has has it.  A lot of words for a tiny pot lol.
