Brad, I found a contemp aggravation game on Ebay, the boards a little different than yours but played the same way, yes one die, it's been a while. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-AGGRAVATION-Board-Game-Vintage-Style-Marble-Race-2-6-PLAYERS-NEW/303028221906 This board from Amazon is exactly like the one Grandma has, except hers is plywood.

both Akro agate patches. I believe
-
I Can't really remember that well Ric, might have been one die, either way the same game, I think gramma even had an old aggravation box ?? Nice job man Tommy Don't quite know how I got two answers in one box ?? oh well ??
-
Agree with Steph's guess, I'm gonna go with a strange lookin Akro Indian blanket on the right (corkscrew) & a messed up newer Vacor on the left.
-
I used to play that every time we went to my grandmothers, I didn't recognize it because hers was on a piece of square plywood, but yes, you had to roll a pair of sixes or aces to get out of home then try to make it around the board to home without another players mib landing on yours, if they did it was back home you went. My whole family used to play it when I was a kid. Boy that sure brings back the memories. "Thanks again Brad"
-
I like your new avatar Tommy!! I remember it well.
-
Gonna look good no matter what you put in it Brad
-
Space for 80 some mibs, it's a big un alright Brad !!
-
WOW !! Nice board Brad, never seen one even close to being like it, maybe a different take on solitaire ?? maybe multiple player ?? Somebody here knows "Good score"
-
x 2, I will agree with Ric on Ravenswood, my first guess also. I also agree with "notoriously tricky" since so many companies made their own rendition. By the way, your pix are lookin fantastic in focus, great neutral background, multiple views, excellent, better than mine !!

x 2, great short conveyance, thanks I'llhavethat1, I tend to be long winded in my explanations, correct on all counts. Yes' & truly refreshing to see some hand mades, between me, Ron, & I'llhavethat1 this will be the 3rd post I've seen showing some, excellent, some beautiful eye "candy" for sure. -
Glad to see you repost that mib,, I had almost forgotten all about it, two refreshers in one night, your smokin Ric !!
-
Actually I was relieved to hear a good joke, and you certainly got me good on that one Ric.

I remember this marble, I miss I.D. it as Christensen, they are Alley, I talked to Ron about mibs like these and for years until provenance was proven I had some just like them in with my Christensen's, the similarities are uncanny.

"Thanks Tommy" I love em, Dave does some killer work, like I said PM me and I'll give you his Email if you like ?? there are loads of other types he makes to your specifications, colors, sizes you name it. He's got some calligraphy's in the works right now I requested, I've seen some he's already done and am blown away, I'd show you the pics of some earlier ones he made, but will wait till he has mine done & boxed to share. thank you for the compliment, I shared this post with him earlier today after he sent the pix of the finished boxes.

Chad G. replied to Neil's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Here is a link to a thread I posted right here showing my favorite type of hand made, the Josephs coat, I used to have nearly 400 of these at near or over 1" very hard to find this type at and over 1" . Many of them and these have "aventurine" in them, here's the link from right here on the forum. You will learn the difference between these, onionskins & coreless and the others as you move foreword, many members here also have an affinity for old Germans. Remember if you have any questions just post them someone will chime in and even if they don't know the answer they will direct you or someone who will help in your direction. "Steph" is the moderator here and has helped me countless times. Again "Welcome" I have acquired may coats since that post & probably should add them to it. Chad G.

Translucent agate types are next, Both Dave and I have an affinity with for pelts and mostly Alley (sound familiar) I also have some Alley flame designs in the works with Dave. He's certainly the best at what he does I've found, using no layering or rounding machines, I enjoy his art., Alot of work goes into these little buggers, I tried to count the layers and got lost, I was flabbergasted when he said how many layers he put into those flames he made for me. I will eventually have some one inch but he likes the 13/16 the best they fit in his boxes perfect as well as being the most malleable size for his hands. I understand he's going to start up on AAM again with the same old avatar as before. I told him the buy sell trade was really picking up, he was on there today but still has a couple bugs he wants to iron out before he posts.

Good job preserving the box top, a most excellent way to display it -

Chad G. replied to Neil's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Speaking of edible, I brought some nice bright ones like that in my pocket and pulled them out to show a shop owner what I was looking for and they replied "thanks I'm not hungry right now" they thought I had a handful of candy, I sure got a good snicker out of that one. They had to look twice at what I had in my hand, you don't see many in wet mint shape like you have anymore. The collectors of old German handmades are getting thinner and thinner, in the 90's when everyone else including me was chasing them the competition was quite hardy, and the prices for that time went quite high. "A nice set Neil & a good job preserving the box as well" provenance is important, excellent display, enjoy the space while you have it, strange how something so small can take up so much room. Whatever you do "Have fun" & again Welcome. You done been "bit" . I have at lest few hundred ranging in size from a little under 7/16ths to 2 3/4ths" and everything in between, these are all in the last 7-8 years, before 2009 I had over 1500 handmades alone, 400 of which were Josephs coats, my most colorful and still my favorite handmades to collect.
