POPEYE BOOSTER CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD?
What is that? Sounds very spiffy. But I don't think I've heard of it before.
Edit: Oh, I see now. I didn't look far enough into the photos.
The information that Rosenthal operated out of Sistersville about has me convinced. That is a perfectly good reason for the marbles to be there even if they weren't made there.
p.s., I would have guessed Sistersville on the right for the little red one here because the stringy base looks like peewees found in my Rosenthal boxes. It would be cool for that one to turn out to be Akro.
The quality of the Sistersville ones seems to be all over the place.
Including a wide range in consistency of the translucent white-ish base glass. Some of the Sisterville base glass has struck me as more watery than Akro findings were.
Is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Brand new info to me! And fascinating. What did they call themselves after Alley left?
If Rosenthal had control of that property for years, then yeah, them packaging marbles there would be easy to believe.
