Al Oregon

Neat ones - the variants are great - of course, your fine pics make almost any marble look great!

There's a few orange ones in part of my cork multitwist box plus one of my favorite corks and an early Jim King handmade.

It obviously is a CA Box with an Albright label printed on it. Whether they just bought original CA boxes and put their label on them or filled them themselves...? Here's a CA box of that style.

So sad to hear. Our prayers are with you Ron & family.

Thanks for taking the time to share those -very nice!

Question - Edna mentions March 2007 and Steve says March 2008 - which is correct?

It's been a long time (well over a year) since I had anything for sale on eBay (if it was eBay that you were referring to). By the way, don't mix me up with Rich who is 'Marbles from Oregon' on eBay.

Collecting securities might become a hobby....

Neat item!

More great items - need to learn your techniques to find these unsuual items. Thanks for sharing!

Good find!

What's the old saying? 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'!!

The foreign cat's-eyes by Vacor get up to the 50mm range, which is well over an inch.

Sounds like a great idea!

Wow! That's a lot of families to keep track of. They are all beautiful - I don't see any that I would call 'ho hum' types. Thanks for taking the time to show these, Edna! I noticed that there was a not a picture of #17 Calypso, named by Stephanie. Do you have one?

Thanks all - a relaxing day - good dinner

Thanks again Steph for all the information

Congrats on the semi-retirement! It takes the pressure off - you can now do what you want to do. Of course, marbles is still it but you can pick and choose. Enjoy!

There is a real header/label like that one so I think someone took a legit header and stapled it to a bag of mixed marbles. Here's a picture of front and back of a legit bag with that header (there are several like it). Also note the seam in my pic.

I'm pretty sure it says Akro Specials on the top line but unsure what's under that.

Have a marbleous day, Carl! :Party_fest30:

Here are pics of 3 other similar boxes

Nice one - thanks for sharing the pics.

I forgot about those, Don. My question on the bags with the Alleys or the Peltier Banana cat's-eyes is whether they were actually packaged by Marble King or packaged by someone else for Berry Pink using the 'Marble King' name that Berry was known by...? Peltier had that 'checkerboard' type header pattern that was later used in the top pictured bags, for instance.

Good work - thanks for sharing!
