Bob, Chad told me about your Dad. Thanks for letting us know they arrived home safely. I hope he's back at it soon!

Hey Al, How many of these Drake's bags have you seen? Would you say they are uncommon? And you're right, for me it's marbles first. But I LOVE bags - with WV Swirls in them. lol.

Here is an uncommon Drake's Cake mesh bag with Alley marbles. I picked it up at the Des Moines Show, which was very active when I visited on Friday. Interestingly, it has a 1/3 marble piece in it along with 15 whole marbles - poor QC I guess.

I had/have a red one that I thought was MK too.

Some kind of an ornamental piece. It might be worth something to someone but . . . ?

Please forgive my bad joke in advance . . . I guess it takes one to know one. :-)

English major? LOL

Sort of looks like a multicolor minus one color. I may have some similar ones.

The first and third look good and I think you may be right about the middle being Akro.

Thanks Mon, The red looks good for sure. The blue base is really nice. Although, I have not seen that size or quality from Kokomo before. It looks too good to be true. lol. Good eye on the transparent tree John!

Marbles as feedstock . . .

It says, "Larger images display only at the Library of Congress". Anyone close? lol

I think it is Sarah Hyland, with following eyes . . .

I think it's a close relative of the other one.

I have seen Alleys in Sure Shot Boxes and they also had Alleys in 6 ct. Big Boy mesh bags. And I wonder if the Champion Bag Marbles were really the Glass Marbles shown upper right because that looks like it could be a poor rendition of the obverse of the early Marble King bags, which also had Alleys in 25 and 40 ct. But then, Champion Agate also had 25 & 40 ct bags and I associate the the 100 ct. Big Value Assortment with Peltier so . . . ?

Marsupials are very different animals.

Hey Mon, That's killer - how confident are you that it's Kokomo?

1949 was apparently a good year. I want a 600 ct box.

Some might think so - I'm hesitant.

Very nice - the colors are great.

Different for sure, very nice.

As best I can recall, I've not seen those colors on that base before.

Very cool lit up!

Some would call it kitsch.

I used to really like playing pinball - still do whenever I get the chance. Seriously nice boards!
