marblenewbie Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Right to left Akro Cork Prize Name I think at .61; however, it has a translucent white base and at places it looks transparent toward the middle. Middle at .62 not sure. Left I believe is a WVS, not sure the Manufacturer at .62(close to OX, but don't think it is from looking at my examples.

akroorka Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 The middle one is a Vacor “Red Devil”. The one on the right is an Akro and it is very close to being a well filled “Popeye”, maybe not but close imho. The left hand one---hmmm, I think that you are right WVS. It does look semi Peltish though. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marblenewbie Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Thanks guys, didn't think the Akro qualified as a Popeye. Wish I could tell the maker of the WVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I`m not sure I`m seeing enough clear for it to be a Popeye - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 100% Popeye, never heard of any stipulation as to the amount of transparent clear base it has to have just that it has it. The qualifiers to be a Popeye as far as I know are a transparent clear base w/ whispy white strands running through it and @ least 2 other opaque colors. I'll post a tight stranded one and a thinner one. Even distribution of the white strands in the clear base seem to be the ideal $$ mib, but all perspective. OP Popeye, you can see the clear transparent base. A couple of mine Thin dispersal of the white stranding, my faves This ones a whole lot closer to the example in the OP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Good eye Chad. Popeyes can be down right anemic with the white whispy stuff and sometimes they are just packed with it along with everything in between. Marble--On!!
