Are we talking about CAC Pistachios or Alley Pistachios?

Yup

Good variety!

It looks like they could have!

I like the multitwist types

Hard to tell from those pics.

Do you think they might be Jacksons, Ron?

I think Galen may be referring to the fact that there is a marble that is along the same lines as the paperweight. For example, here is picture of bird cage marble and paperweight. Don't know about the Firebush, however.

Sad to hear this - thoughts and prayers to the family.

Neat find - good info. Here's a pic of the 5 shooter bag that I have. No 25 count bag with that header but a couple that I have of 15.

That was the year I did graduate from college - small world

Neat bag. The Gladding Vitro bags were between 1969 and 1982 when G-V was in business. The shooter hybrid cage style cat's-eyes are probably worth more than the bag.

Don't forget that maybe the figure was marked back in that time frame before it was made into the marble.

Interesting item!

Thanks - an odd one for sure. With the other color in the white patch, it doesn't look like the "Cloudies" from years back when Ron Shaw & I discussed these (picture below) but may be. As we all know, odd things happen with marbles being made.

Nice to find "old stuff" like that. I periodically go through my closet (every couple years) to see what I have forgotten about. Looking forward to any pics you can take - very hard to see in those Master bags.

Cool

Yes, it is the address part of the back that is different. And, not all of the "named" bags have all three different name/address backs. Some are just two and some only the one. It's all just part of their header printing process since they are all the Wichita address - just different company names, abbreviations, etc. Of course, now that they have moved, we will probably see a totally different address so.... It reminds me of the differences in some of the Vitro header where it said "5 Star Brand" instead of "Five Star Brand". A different collectible item.

Of course, what company name do we call them? Here are some names on recent bag headers. I find some of these different reverses with the same fronts on the headers so, I think to myself, now I have to collect one of each with the different backs and same fronts?

This was a picture that Bob Block posted back in 2003 of a group of Nova types that he got from Gino Biffany and are supposedly the entire group type.
