sciguy122 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Found this in a FL antique store. Can't find anything in reference to this package nor the marbles contained in it. All I have found is that the book is out of print. The book is a first edition. Any help would be appreciated. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semdot Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Never seen it before but it looks new. The marbles are new. Doesn't the book have a copyright date on the other side of the title page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger ones are 1 3/8". Thought maybe someone had seen a similar set and could tell if HOM used these types of marbles in their sets.
