The Nickel Guy Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I show size comparison to the larger Akro Moss Agate ( I think ) This one is orange with a bit of a patch of transparent red. I see other similar from Peltier and Marble King and I saw another Vacor that resembled it but I am stumped. Besides that it is a Pee Wee. well under a half inch. I tried to show all sides in this collage block of 9 pictures below. THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted September 2 Author Report Share Posted September 2 I appreciate both of your opinions, it's a tough one huh? My first thought was Akro and the colors are not too far off for that either. It's not quite a sunburst and not exactly a patch. Or . . . is it?

akroorka Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 On 9/1/2024 at 7:32 PM, The Nickel Guy said: it's a tough one huh? Yes--pretty tuff. Akro Agate never advertised making anything under 9/16" as far as I know---but they were known by many old collectors to have included a "Peewee" marble on top of the bag when the "Popeye" boxes were sold. These are call Swea Peas( the spelling may be wrong) by collectors after Popeye’s adopted son. Although they are rare—“Master Made Marbles Marbles” also produced marbles under ½”. I will ID yours as a Master Made Marble and hope to see some more opinions. Pewees are a hard ID—they just do not act the same as a slightly larger marble. Perhaps @cheese has an opinion—or @Ric--or @Steph for sure. Many companies made Peewee Marbles--this one may be special imho. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 I have some peewee patches in a Rosenthal box. I hoped they would turn out to be Alley. Pretty sure the verdict was unanimously Akro by the end, including a vote from the dearly departed Ron Shepherd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted September 3 Author Report Share Posted September 3 Thank you both for your further attention about this little feller. It would be cool to have an Akro Sweet Pea or Swea Pea. I am glad it is in good shape. Maybe we shall see. I have seen Ron Shepherd in yooooo tube videos with Stephen Bahr. I recently learned Ron had passed away. That Stephen Bahr sure is funny sometimes. I like his pinch of humor. They sure know and knew their stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
