There are some fun ones in that bunch.

You can laugh at us when we complain about how cold it is down here.

Agree. Looks like oven brick. Or a nebula.

Hi there. Welcome. I'm into the history of marbles.

lololololol

Just to post something

Is the one on the left a Superior?

Thanks! Two down ....

awwwwwwww

I called the U.S. Patent Office. The kind lady at the Trademark extension helped me search for it, and in this country that number is associated with a 1926 picture of a Longhorn. So that's a little bit of help. Need to look elsewhere for that registration.

No! Just trying to spice up my winter (indoor, at home) exercise routine.

I have no standing jump height. None. Okay maybe an inch. I am capable of leaving the ground. Maybe two inches if I squat low first.

I sort of fudged that. I was thinking mostly of post-WWII, but by "beyond the wars" I meant "apart from the wars". The more normal, less heavy, little cultural details like we know about when postal codes started being used here.

I will but I sure would welcome a fellow searcher on this one. Which country would that trademark have been in: No. 208836 ... and how can we search for the record? During which decade would Japan have had two digit telephone numbers? Are those two words at the end part of the telephone number? -- TEL. NO. 59 Kawachi Saraike, like how in America we used to say a word at the beginning of the number? Need someone familiar with mid-1900's Japan beyond the wars.

I bid on it. I was not alone. Bid was cancelled, which is what you have to do in order to end the listing.

Anyone know how to search for old trade marks?

Nice!

"Bloodies" stayed in Peltier's line for decades. You could buy boxes with assorted color rainbos. Or boxes with only red. So, you could say Pink pushed them. (He was affiliated with Peltier.) But I don't think that was his idea, I mean I don't think it was original on his part. I should look up the exact story before I say that this is one of the examples where he took more credit than was due. But he did have a tendency to tell whoppers and other companies were aware of the popularity of red. MFC's brick line. Akro's Cardinals. Vitro's All-Reds (the 1930's version).

Lots of clues for searching with.

ooh ooh ooh ooh !!!!!!! Exciting!

I wish I had some clear rolling pins. Attractive vintage mix in here -- maybe 1930's to 1960's. Nothing standing out as high dollar but between the rolling pins and the numbers of marbles, there is some monetary value there.

I can imagine traveling through that tunnel. Actually it reminds me of http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/stunning-caves-in-an-icelandic-glacier/ss-BBhVAFl

ahdorable!

That one spells Christmas.
