Delmer Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I thought you guys might find this interesting information to see. I got this here in Michigan and thought it was neat. I will include photos of the marble listings and marble games. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delmer Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Marble listings page. NOT Many available then. Notice they are all listed as imported. This has great stuff in the catalog. The Toys are to DIE FOR... :-) Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Neat. Those "agates" can't be stone, not at those prices. So I guess they're what is sometimes called imitation agates. But if that's so I don't have a guess for what crockery would be. Oh, would crockery be jaspers? No, I don't like those guesses. Not when I compare the prices of "agates" and "crockery". p.s., those "agates" are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmer Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Here is the second game page Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmer Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Note this is a Trade catalog which I assume to be wholesale at the time. That might explain the pricing structure as well. This is my first find in "print related" marble stuff. Janice. Hope all is well. I was up with Noah tonight so MOM could sleep for a change. Sis was looking a little sleep deprived yesterday, so I took the late shift! New borns are so fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Here's a bit about Daudt. Don't know if it's the best avaiable. Just did a quick google. :-) 1901: Christopher Daudt's home in Toledo. 1908: Tariff Hearings, p. 4046 1910: Memoirs of Lucas County and the City of Toledo, p. 593 1917: A History of Northwest Ohio, p. 1124 In 1919, a Michigan Bureau of Labor report said they employed 4 men and 10 women. I haven't yet tried to reconcile the crockery and "agate" prices with anything else. that would require focus ! I'm not up to that at the moment.

Delmer Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks for doing the foot work that you did. It is appreciated greatly. I just got it and really thought you guys would like to see what was for sale then, but you probably already knew what was out there. For me this is opening all kinds of doors of exploration.
