Steph Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Neato box. Why Ravenswood on the swirl? Would you mind hitting it with a blacklight ... er, I mean shining a blacklight on it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi Steph, the swirl looks like a ravenswood to me but I could be wrong.I shined a blacklight on it and it didn't pop.Any idea when that box was made? I know they made many versions.The box is marked made in U.S.A. Pressman toy co. New York n.y. and a number on the box 5953.Would appreciate any help,Thanks Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I don't know how to date the box. Al might be able to help with that. My very vague guess would be the 1950's because of the plastic cups and the Japanese marbles. Here are SOME of the different types of marbles which have been found in Pressman packaging: Mostly Pix - Pressman. Their Japanese cat's eyes in Post #5 look like the early cats, which I think were from the 1950's. But that's not all the Pressman Japanese packaging types there were. Chuck (aka Chuck Jr. aka Chucks_mibs) has/had a bag with a set of Japanese pinchers in it. Those were used for Chinese Checkers ... wonder if that could have been what was in your bag .....
