  1. An old fashioned "Lite Brite", just over 100 years old and not one of the 600 tiny clay marbles is missing - what are the odds? Sorry for the less than ideal photos.
  2. That is an incredibly good photo, Chad, something for me to aspire to later today!
  3. Crazy story. Addiction is real, so is mental illness.
  4. Probably one of the red 3-marble Pressman boxes labeled "Allies" or "Marbles"?
  5. Nice, I wouldn't mind seeing another view or two of the last one.
  6. I assumed they were intended to commemorate the end of WWII. By "newer" I mean well after 1945 when WWII ended. Perhaps they were commemorating an anniversary of V-Day?
  7. I am not sure about this one . . . it reminds me of a Ravenswood but the base looks off and the 3/4" size would make it rare so . . . maybe Alley . . . maybe JABO? Maybe someone else will know? lol
  8. Alley - I may have heard it referred to as a Creamsicle. One of my (many) favorite types.
  9. Here is one of my Vitros with oxblood I really need to redo the pics . . .
  10. Congrats, a pretty good return on investment, for this ticket, anyway.
  11. Do you know what run(s) they are from?
  12. I doubt any of them are American made. That big green/brown cat eye-looking one appears like it might have some AV in the green though.
  13. Nice side-by-side. I want to say that Heaton also had a box similar to the MM #10. @mibcapper
  14. Nice marble! I'd have been tempted to save it until Friday. lol
  15. I have the same box with the same marbles. I was thinking Vitro too. But to me, the "Victory" label suggests production shortly after WWII and the marbles seem quite a bit newer. One of the reasons I think Vitro over MK or Akro is because of the number of marbles that have seams that are offset by 90 degrees.
  16. I think Gramps looks like he should be wearing a cape. lol And thanks for helping me salvage a little something out of this thread, Bruce!
