Finally getting back to this post. Here are some Japan bags that I have - Camel brand - various headers and 'printed on' bags over the years.

Have a marbleous day, Clyde!

That seam is odd - I was thinking Akro at first but maybe even an odd Master?

Some of mine

I have always liked my multitwist corkscrews

Last few mesh advertising bags

Here are some of the mesh advertising bags

Last six hanger bags

More of the hanger bags

Just got back from vacation last night and saw this thread. Steph, do you want me to post all of the 3000 pictures (one of each bag)??? LOL! I'll post some of the 'advertising' bags first - hanger bags from various beverage companies aAlphabetical order) and I'll leave out the Coke & Pepsi ones.

Thanks for posting the information, Ron. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks for sharing the pics - looks like a lot of fun was had...

Not sure on Moonies but the marble pics are probably artist renderings so...?

Nice article on the show - thanks for posting!

Nice article on the show!

Great pics - thanks for sharing!

I think someone brought up that there had been some forgeries of this small box in the past. Also that marbles were normally slags?

Yup, great pics, Winnie!

First postcard - collector's item!!

There are all kinds of indicators with fake/fantasy bags but one of the primary ones is that the old headers were usually two-color headers (meaning one color ink on a colored header paper), not the multicolor headers like on the one Galen showed. Multicolor printing back in the 50's and 60's was expensive. Pepsi was one of the first ones to have the muticolor header.

hoping for rain?

Neat one!

I have attached a picture so people know what Scott is talking about. I have several but nowhere near as many as Scott. But here are some that I have or have pictures of that are not on Scott's list: There are two Florida types - one with outline of the state and cities shown and the other with a palm tree. Great Smoky Mountains with a bear Mackinac Bridge - Michigan Atlantic City Convention Hall Queen Mary - Long Beach, California (white bag with red, white & blue printing Also, the "Marbles" one has some varieites - there are the 14+1 (=15) as Scott showed but also a 24+1 and a 64+1. And some of the bags are different, in the 24+1, there is a "blue on orange", an "orange/red on yellow". One 14+1 "Marbles" bag has "Black on Orange"

When Winnie posted hers, I was thinking letters in a calligraphy style. I agree with the term being used primarily for busy Alleys. Here are some pics - Chuck on the larger individual pics, Block's auction from 2000 on the blue & white and Kevin on the group.

Here's one my late friend Bo Stiff gave me a few years back - my State!
