How common are peewee corkscrews?

I don't think there technically peewees....but close

AFAIK, true peewee corkscrews are quite rare, even 9/16" corkscrews aren't all that common but they are out there.

I have not seen any Akro literature listing sizes for sale that included anything under #00 or 9/16”.
That being said, The Popeye boxes were filled with a peewee placed on top of the pouch. As I recall they were Popeye Patch types. 
Collectors call the little ones Swee’ Pea after Popeyes little (adopted) Son/Pal.
9/16” Akros are a hard find for me unless they are the “oxblood patch” type which seems to have quite a few in this size.
The thing is, if Akro produced 9/16” marbles there are bound to be a few peewees floating around. That is just the way in the manufacturing of marbles. 
I have seen a few peewee patches—never a corkscrew--- in my hand anyhow. So yes—they are pretty rare imho. Always check a rare peewee of any maker for any signs of polishing.
Marble—On!!

At a hair over 1/2", I'd say they are pretty rare, Charlie.

I agree with Ric--True Peewees are 1/2" or less---no squeezing the calipers.

Just not peewees that you have--close is no cigar it is a requirement. Still pretty small for an Akro cork!

Marble--On!!

[CharlieT]

Amen....close but no "squeezing the calipers" 😁. Right on.... thanks yall 🙏

I sent a group to a FB marble trader and had searched and measured a lot. Boo Yah ! I found 3 ! They got them and guess what? Someone polished this group down to 9/16. I learned a lot with this trade and now realizing how HTF PeeWees and 9/16 Akro’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
