Alox marble machine. The four people are 3 different families all connected by marbles. They all bought equipment and marbles from each other. Left is Frank Sellers- Alley grandson. Center is Nancy Frier- granddaughter and daughter of the two Alox owners. Right is Ray Weekly and husband- her father was owner of Ravenswood Novelty.  All present to see this machine run one more time. 

Pictures of the Alox machine at Jabo . Then at my house. Then I took it back home to the original Alox factory in St.Louis.  It is now in a museum in St. Louis. 

 The last picture is Bill McCaleb with Nancy Frier's father, the last owner of Alox, who has passed on.
