smitty Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'll take one of each box, that's all I can afford right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagmarble Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 What I wouldn't give to find them for so cheap . I wonder what the equivalent price would be, not in secondary market, but rather today's dollar... -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mibber Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Dan, Send me a case of fancy #5's. What's the shipping on that? Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'll take six of those Christensen Agate "favorite" boxes at $.74 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 That is so fun! Do you know what year that ad is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1DanS Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I am not sure of the date. Can’t even remember where I got it from, found it on an old disk I had. It looks like the three boxes are Akro, Christensen, and Peltier. So……….. “IF” the add is using the term Onyx to described Slag-type marbles, then the listing for No. 5 “Rainbo”, a name Peltier used, would be quite interesting. If this is the case, we may have to rethink “who actually made the larger Slags”. In the past, it was commonly believed that only Akro and M F Christensen produced the big ones. Even if they are not Slags, a box of 15/16” Peltier’s would be something to see. What da ya guys think? And, had anyone seen the bag “National Rainbo Agates”? thanks.

slagmarble Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I can't find or produce any anecdotal evidence of a 15/16 slag that is definetly a Peltier product. A whole box of them would be something to see, the amount of feathering on a marble that size would be something else. -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the equivalent price would be, not in secondary market, but rather today's dollar...-Brad Just for fun, let's put the date on the ad as 1925. Based on average prices of average items bought by average Americans, $1 in 1925 would buy the same as $11.74 now. . . . (See What is a dollar worth?) So, to get a dozen of those Favorite boxes, instead of the 74¢ it would take in 1925, you'd need to fork over $8.69 this year. That's wholesale, right?

slagmarble Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Just goes to show what effect supply and demand can have on something with a very limited population. I'd still happily pay $11.74 for a box but I don't think thats in the cards. -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Here is the rest of the page. 1933 is the year. Notice how the drawings are not exact but just close renderings. And 15/16" rainbos in 1933. HUMMMMM!! Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
