Here is a gorgeous example of one of Akro Agate's most popular collectables of all time: the POPEYE CORKSCREW. This one has red and two-toned green corkscrews around the surface of a crystal clear base glass that provides a wide window to the defining white wispy threads spinning down the center and just below the surface. Also, a scarce larger 11/16" size which for some tournaments was considered to be qualified as a shooter.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.8 PRISTINE wet mint surface with no sign of wear of any kind what-so-ever. I can find no pinpricks, nicks, dimples, or any other as-made anomolie of any kind. This is as good as you will ever see, a true museum quality marble. You may click here to view the grading system I use. Size 17.31mm or 0.682" at the equator. | |||||
