OK Bill, I envision you buying an old rolltop desk with drawers that the owner could not open, which you did, finding these inside.--just dreaming--what is the scoop. That label is really cool--one of a kind for sure. I would love to hear the history behind the find, as would others--great stuff I am sure.

Marble--On!!

true too ... came from a friend in pa. who collects ONLY l.e. alley agates .... yep, surprised label still intact ..... in with fellow boxes ...

thank u for your thoughts. gotta say every time i drove down 7th. st. , i usually drooled in that i've walked the old factory site, and saw the structure, what was left, of actual production area and all i could do was .. dream .. of how the day started there. sitting next to r.r. tracks ...on 1 side and the fox river on the other. old cullet piles, where art fisher walked, and inspected his domain every day. a man who demanded a whole days work from .. everyone. and ground so hard as to bend a shovel ... bummer there,. nite time was dangerous there. a side arm was necessary with what drifted off those tracks at nite. ron know's well of what i say. spooky place. had to be on your toes there. or trouble was in front of you. har ... all in town of parkersburg. ahhhh ... what memories ....... bill
