Is there one company which would have been more likely to have 18 marbles in their bag than another? My guess before today would have been Peltier, possibly as jobbered by Rosenthal. And as of today, my Rosenthal guess is a little firmer. In December of 1931 Rosenthal advertised "Sure-Shot Glass Marbles" as "Special Numbers for Jobbers". The bag pictured is the double compartment one Berry Pink patented, which has more than 18 marbles. But is that wishful thinking? Did multiple companies sell 18 marbles per bag?

Sorry to hear you were unwell. Glad you are better!

Cats are just plain awesome.

There's one in every family!

Aw c'mon Galen, start a CAC eye candy thread!

Sweet. I gotta take up coffee.

Fun. There was one year in my life where I got into accessorizing bigtime. I would have gone wild for those square charms then.

What a lovely menagerie. What's inside the pinecone shaped piece in the back?

My first thought was foreign coz of the seediness of the orange but the rest of the marble doesn't look foreign so

No need to show Willie. I'll handle everything. hehe
