Here's one of the famous Akro Popeye oddities known as a hybrid that happens when an extra color is left in the vat from a previous run, in this case orange. It's easy to tell that it is an extra corkscrew rather than a red-yellow blend because to start with, the orange is located on the side of the red away from the yellow. The clear base glass is nearly filled with the tightly packed opaque white stands.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.8 Pristine wet mint surface with no sign of play or wear of any kind. All I can find with a bright light and lens are two clearly as-made very tiny shallow melted dimples. You may click here to view the grading system I use. Size 15.90mm or 0.625" at the equator. | |||||
