That is sweet little box, Bill. I'm with Art . . . just by looking at the dimensions, and not knowing what the box is sitting on for size comparison, I could easily have guessed that box held 96 marbles (8 x 12). It's really cool, makes me wonder if it was a giveaway or souvenir from the House of Marbles at the fair. I think it's pretty special.

you will giggle when u c it ric. neat and real .... bill

.............. 6 standard brushed patches came with the box. i might .... backfill with some dandy 5/8 " sunbursts if i can find any ? bill
