The Cote's Master Loaf marble was advertised as being part of the 12-marble box set. Check out p. 139 of AMMM. Well, it was pictured in an ad as part of the 12-marble box set. The fine print said the marbles come packaged in bulk, so I don't know if they were sold as box sets or if the boxes were part of a display for the grocers or what. p.s., the picture of the box set is a little odd -- looks like the Cote's Master Loaf marble was drawn onto a photo of a box with real marbles inside.

Like so:

Good stuff!

... like shirt buttons and jacket buttons as opposed to pinback buttons ....

(Wow)

Looks like a kid's scribbles to me.

Cool. ... you ever see marble images on a clothing button?

Is it a belt buckle?

fun!

Good marketing often makes the difference. Bob (nutz4lutz) had a winning formula and got very good results with Jabos years ago when that wasn't easy to do.

That pontil definitely needs some work. .... a stranger once offered me some nature-made Australian marbles as a gift. I turned the offer down because I had emailed her purely for information and didn't want her to think I had any ulterior motives. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings and sometimes I think about them and sorta wish I had one but it seemed the right decision at the time.

That Mickey is very cute.

Do you remember honeybern?

Another favorite obscure topic of mine --- the Reg'lar Fellers connection to marbles.

Hadn't thought much about that.

You have some stumpers, Jeroen.
