  1. There do not appear to be any high end marbles there - maybe 5 cents to a buck at most so...
  2. Here's my pics of Chinko ... Box by Peltier
  3. Great pics and story, Griff - thanks for sharing with us!
  4. That's great, Craig. Thanks for all those great tidbits that you periodically come up with. I always look for your posts.
  5. And here's another picture I have. I believe they are real - have seen a handful on eBay over the years.
  6. Al Oregon

    Comics & Ppps

    Greenberg's Guide has a pretty extensive section on the comic marbles, how they were made ,etc. and it looks like 1933 tiime frame - but I'm sure you knew that.
  7. Here are some pics I had saved of various Ringer boxes for comparison. First pic was zaboo's (from 2003); last one was saved in 1999
  8. Had not heard of the Wayback Machine - now to figure out how to use it.
  9. American Machine Made Marbles, Sulphide Marbles (Stanley Block), Greenburg's Guide.
  10. Here's the picture of Pete's CA Pastels box from years ago - best picture I have.
  11. I like ones that come in bags, even with the old price tags.
  12. Vitro Tri-Lites box from Vienna seems to be confirmed by experts...
  13. Just for information, here is a picture of 13 different Peltier 'Novas' that Bob Block got from Gino Biffany in June 2003 (supposedly all the varieties). Gino is one who knows Peltier well.
  14. Good marketing tactic - similar to marblealan's listings
  15. I couldn't find a WL on any of my 'coloured' or 'Empire Made' marble bags. Haven't seen that one before. I do have a box like the one you show, Bill - there's been a few around.
  16. Last year at the IAMC Show in Tacoma. Smitty had some of the real St. Mary's and the 2000/01 remake. The real are on the left and the repros on the right. Gives you an idea of the color difference.
  17. What year did you make these, Bill? That way I'll know the marbles were from before that date.
  18. Enjoy - you do a great job on the touring! If Howard is driving, remind him to watch out for turkeys....
  19. Hi Bill - it was me. I guess I didn't get one from you years ago...
