I forgot to post the 1938 article I found a little while ago. When you posted the box on FB, I knew the 1932 seemed too restrictive. Or are these later versions of the logo not as close to the one on the box as I think? Here's a 1938 ad which mentions marbles and has a little birdie. And here's a similar-looking bird from 1955. A bit different.

The impression I've received over the years is that even if it were a complete match with the color of yellow found in egg yolk oxbloods, it still wouldn't be called egg yolk in a popeye. *now stepping back to see what others say*

thanks interesting that "priceless" in my mind could be $85 to someone else.

Strange. You have been able to upload before. Wonder what changed. Were you able to upload a single one? If you'd like, email one or more to me: sjharrison at ameritech dot net so I can see the size. (Is anyone else having trouble with files they know are small enough?)

lol But I still don't know who made it.

thanks!

Yup. They turned out to be tater bugs. They have more tater bug brothers and sisters in their box now.

"Here's to us all," she toasts, as she lifts her green Equate Nyquil. (The red is gone.)

The hint seems to say "pigtail". But whose tail?

Well done. Burning it to a disk now.

Ah, is this the one?

I don't have the catalog. They sent a catalog once ... I didn't know why. Just the once, though, I think.

Do you know what the Marble King trophy sold for? Or the fancy gumball machine? Bright side -- I'm happy for the Captain at least if the prices were high.

That article says Tinka is "one of the last surviving marble factories in Latin America". For a moment I got my hopes up about how many that might mean. It could only mean Tinka and Vacor though. Anyone with the language skills to ask them? Also, fwiw, I believe there are many factories around the world with marble making machines -- for fiber glass. -
I can rest easy now.

What do you call the Noughties? Just read this in an Irish article: "mid-Noughties". Found it aesthetically pleasing. I now officially call them the Noughties too.
