lstmmrbls Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Vitro is my take on them, and I wish that pelt box was mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Several years ago, I bought a couple of double header cellophane bags with "Big Boys" in them. Ron got one and I think I lost the other. No kidding, it's MIA - rare bag too. But who knows, I have stuff everywhere, maybe I'll find it some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Here are the National Line Bloodies we were talking about in the calendar thread ... posted some time ago by BobandPat. And the National Line box of Rainbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Gonna have to shift my thinking a few years earlier. So early to mid 30s for "Rainbo" Types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 When was your previous date? How long do you think they used National boxes for? I don't know how early but for some reason I wouldn't be surprised by 1934 for rainbos, even though I think that Picture Marbles on older style Peerless Patches were still being sold after that. I'll have to dig a little to see why the year 1934 comes to mind. Would be interesting to see a string of National boxes and try to get an idea of the changes in the boxes with time. And of course would be nice for Mike to give us some years to anchor the discussion with, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
