  1. It's a cool mib, Rick - really nice white and the "chevron" action is interesting. It isn't screaming Akro at me but it's not really screaming Peltier either, I wonder about CAC possibilities?
  2. It's an iconic cover, no doubt - epic tongue action, and it looks like he's about as focused as he could be.
  3. I think it's doubtful, Melissa.
  4. Here's a pic of the cover just in case some folks haven't seen it.
  5. Yes, specifically, May 10, 1937.
  6. It's definitely a cool little game, Art. I have a few thoughts FWIW. First, unlike original bags, boxes are obviously easier to back-fill and I have seen these boxes with swirls in them too - transparent ones, if I remember right. The number of marbles you're showing seems a little odd since it's not a multiple of 10, which is what one might expect if the marbles were packaged specifically for the game. It also seems that there are only 6 of each color, even though it would take 10 marbles of the same color for a single player. Also, some of the marbles appear to be 1/2" while others appear to be 9/16", even within the same color group. And while it's very difficult to tell for sure, it appears the marbles may have been produced by more than one company. All of this makes me doubt that the box has its original contents, which is not to say that the box and some of the marbles in it were not sold together with the game.
  7. I think JABO maybe Champion.
  8. Heaton is my first take on it.
  9. The 1st, 4th and 5th in the first shot and 5th in the second shot look like Vacor to me. The black and white one looks Peltier and the second one in the first shot looks like Champion. The 3rd in the first shot looks foreign. The 2nd in the second shot may be Master but it might be a Wales type and the green on yellow may be Akro. Just FYI - I won't respond to any more posts with this many marbles.
  10. JABO front left and maybe front right. The others seem Alley to me. Two views are often not enough for swirl ID and it's important to show the ends of any stripes.
  11. They look like Heaton or Cairo to me, leaning Heaton, but the front right may be a Champion.

    4 alley?

    They look Alley to me.

    Peltier?

    I think the left one is a weirdo MK and the right is a Peltier Skunk variant with weak ribbons.
  14. Ric

    Marble king?

    The two in back are MK and the front ones probably are too but it's a little tough to make out seams on the front left one.
  15. I think most, if not all, of those lighter based ones in the middle are Peltier too. The white based one just to the lower right of them and the one to the lower left of that may be Akro - kinda hard to tell from these views.
  16. I'm with Dave - more likely Alley IMO.
  17. A 6-ribbon Peltier - one of the ribbons got short changed.
  18. It looks like an Akro Moss Agate to me.
  19. One of my favorite types of Alley . . .
  20. Ric

    Jabo swirl?

    The big one looks JABO to me and the small swirl you circled looks like an Alley.
  21. Three slags as far as i can tell. The front right one looks newer to me - maybe Vacor?
  22. Ric

    Swirls

    I think JABO front left and Alley for the others.
  23. The two outer ones look mostly like Heatons to me.
