    I didn't notice that one! You guessing Alleys there?
  2. Well, you surely know my theory about oxblood being associated with blue glass. I've spouted off about it enough.

    Looks like some Pelts, possibly distributed by Berry Pink Full page:
  5. Current combined list: aggie, aggies, allies, alleys, blackies, blockbuster octopus, blockbusters, bloodies, blue candy stripes?, bolders, bullseyes, chaney alleys, Chinas, Chinees, clayies, clearies, cloudies, crockie, crockies, crokers, doughie, doughies, Englishies, flinties, glass agates, glassies, halfies, houses, kimmies, immies, mibbs, mibs, middles, miggle, miggs, migs, milkies, peedabs, peewee's, peewees, pimples, pot-eyes, pures, reallies, red eyes, red moonstone?, ringers, robin's eggs, root beer cleary, shooters, steelies, stony alleys, 3 line cleary, tolley -- including all the spelling variants and singulars and plurals even if that may seem silly -- just in case -- the two question marks so far are because I wasn't sure whether the color was part of the name or just a description -- some names may not represent what we use the words for now -- for example "blackies" may be different from Vitro's version Current foreign terminology: gudes (Brazil), Torrah (Africa), bowls (England), bolitas (South America), "kicking the marbles" (China)
  6. 1863, The Sock Stories, p. 37 (link) chaney alleys, stony alleys, glass agates, middles
  7. I'm not familiar with the name. Thanks for sharing the link, Mark.
  8. If I understand/remember correctly, these weren't found in a Kokomo bag but were found with an empty Koko bag or a Koko label next to them.
  9. Seems hard to come by. Anyone have pics?
  10. I think there were some Koko articles in the WV newsletter but, sadly, I let my subscription lapse. And I haven't seen much original koko packaging. .... *leaves to go start a thread about that*
