treetiger Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Here are two of a set of five marbles that are some of my favorites. I.D. of any kind would be great. Sorry for the lack of quality. They were particularly hard to photograph with what I have...Iphone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have some nice marbles there and some great images as well. I agree with all that has been said. These "Popeye Patches" are always thought of as being a great find during an Akro dig at the Akro Plant grounds--many years ago. These "Popeye Patches" are the most common by far--the blue and yellow ones. "Popeye Patches" do show up in different color combos--much more rare though. These are more than likely a find from a dig--but they look very nice imho. I just luve-em-- Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I did not know what they were, I used a bit of poetic license...(giggle)... The tiny bubbles, the cobalt dark blue, and the gradation to a soft yellow made me think of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting. I am glad that we cleared up what they were. It kind of looks like a teeny tiny diorama of starry heavens. Best wishes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Starry Sky is a famous Van Gough painting. He painted this during the day. Cut his ear off and painted Starry Night when it got dark🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
