akroorka Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 2 hours ago, Gladys said: 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 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. Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do. Marble--On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastfling Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!
