definitely cool

Wow ... Santa was so thin back then. 1962 was a good year.

Yes. The opposite of bright and vivid.

The listing is severely plagiarized. If the marble is .9 inches would that rule out it being a torched Jabo? Did Vacor Atmospheres ever have lutz? New or old there is so much wrong with this auction it's hard to begin to comment on it.

That's a Carnelian, GP. Cornelians are like so: Or here, a No. 3 box. No. 3 is 13/16". Looks like Dan's marble could fit in this box. Source: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/423659

Bump!

Looks good to me. I'm rooting for you!

Sami's pix

I need to see a picture. So far the marble you're describing is one which sounded like one I had which I thought was a Jabo. But I don't have the marble anymore -- sold it on ebay. If it turned into an Alley after I sold it, then .... but it might not be the same marble after all. Very curious now!

Love it. I have some tiny tin cars. Wouldn't hold any marbles. (:

what Bob said!

cool effect

Very Fall-like

Delicious!

That's sharp.

That's so bright you could use it as a lantern.

Great book, too.

lol .... welcome Paulperson. When I see candy boxes, I don't care what candy is inside .... I just think, "Another box for marbles!"

Catalicious!

I was happy this jar of peanut sauce wasn't not. There were maybe 4 different brands in the little store and I scoured the ingredients labels until I thought I had the best chance of a mild version. Was scared to even open it. So for now I'm enjoying the lack of chili ... later I'll probably get a chili craving again.

Possibly during 1931. I have been under the impression that Gropper sold CAC's before that too. Peltier may have been doing exclusive marble business with Gropper but Gropper might not have been doing exclusive marble business with Peltier.

Would like to see a Green Giant.

Hopefully they do have to have the choking hazard warning. I had no idea what I had stumbled onto when I did my usual casual Akro googling last night.

Thanks for the better link and the extra pic. Wow. That's incredible that they would be allowed to lay legal claim on someone else's old logo. Before this I wouldn't have seen any impediment to Craig making Akro shirts at Zazzle. No one owned the trademark on the logo (I presume). Anyone and everyone could use it for fun repro items (I presume). Now, Rhyne owns it and Craig's shirt project and repro box projects could be in violation of the law? So .... did the patent office just not recognize it as someone else's old logo? Or is there nothing wrong with taking someone's old logo as your own, legally and exclusively as long as you pay the fee and express a credible plan to use it in commerce?
