Popeye
This is a Akro Agate Popeye. This one is 3/4" in diameter and is mint condition. It is a clear based marble with a white swirl and two other colored swirls, yellow and green. This is your classic Popeye and is a prime example of an Akro. It was made by the Akro Agate Company. It was manufactured in the same time frame as the cartoon POPEYE was made because the marbles came in a box that had Popeye the cartoon character on the outside. I got this one from a junk shop for to much cash but, it is my first.
