Ric Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I remember Hess's department stores but I don't recall ever seeing a box like this. It doesn't seem right to me but . . .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Probably a good price for that bunch of marbles. Shouldn't let the box distract ... but it does. I agree it looks like a scarf box or some such. "Original box with inserts" ... pshaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 LOL Steph - my Great Grandmother used to say "pshaw". On a serious note, as a newbie, I thought Morphy's was respected auction house. What's with silliness like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 That's like getting a Macy's box or other department store box and filling it with Jabos or MK's or Vacor and saying "Macy's Marble Box" - what a load of crap! I hope someone is letting Brian or whomever still works for Morphy's know about the hits they are taking on their reputation on the marble boards. It'd be nice for one of them to respond.
