Steph Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Historical fantasy bag. It's at least worth the opening bid (imho). Wonder how high it will go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semdot Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Might be a reproduction of the classic fantasy bag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 What I would call a minimalist approach to Fantasy Bags! Yet exceedingly devious. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.com/Akro-Agate-Poly-Bag-of-Marbles-20_W0QQitemZ290337193226QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMarbles?hash=item439971fd0a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 This bag is not old. Probably made within the last 5 years. Old bags almost always had 2 staples. This one has 3. Remember all of those bogus bags from the late 1990s - they all had 3 staples.

zigafoose Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I bought some fantasy packaged "VITRO" marbles with what looks to be the same mibs in that bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm surprised it did not come from Maine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi George! Great to see you! I think that's only two staples, plus one staple length line printed on the header. ? I need to look it up but I remember another discussion somewhere about this bag being an early counterfeiting effort. With Anacortes mibs as Paula noted.

Steph Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Okay . . . not so early? Still not clear on the date. Here's the thread at Marble Mental where I asked about them before. Is there a story to these? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
