winnie Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Saw this on Ebay,unfortunately was too late too bid on it. Notice the yellow ones,it seems they have a translucent base,that I have never seen before.So there was a glass factory "Yasuda"that has made transitionals.

ann Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yellow ones are new to me too. Also not sure I've seen what looks like the reverse of the usual red-based ones -- looks like white-based ones in the bottom row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Actually with the amount of English people in India in the past it seems a perfect place to find imported marbles IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be all that risky. But prejudging is good for the rest of us. Some two years ago I won a *mint* (unpolished) Jenny Lind colored figure sulphide from this guy, for well under the money.

Steph Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I will but I sure would welcome a fellow searcher on this one. Which country would that trademark have been in: No. 208836 ... and how can we search for the record? During which decade would Japan have had two digit telephone numbers? Are those two words at the end part of the telephone number? -- TEL. NO. 59 Kawachi Saraike, like how in America we used to say a word at the beginning of the number? Need someone familiar with mid-1900's Japan beyond the wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdesousa Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Why do you say post and not pre WW2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I sort of fudged that. I was thinking mostly of post-WWII, but by "beyond the wars" I meant "apart from the wars". The more normal, less heavy, little cultural details like we know about when postal codes started being used here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 It would have been marked "Made in Occupied Japan" between 1945 and 1952, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I called the U.S. Patent Office. The kind lady at the Trademark extension helped me search for it, and in this country that number is associated with a 1926 picture of a Longhorn. So that's a little bit of help. Need to look elsewhere for that registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dont think the Trademark relates to here either found this 1951 On 1951-10-30, a trademark application was filed with the Australian Government by Mayfair Foods Pty Ltd.On application IP Australia assigned number 208836.

winnie Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah,it's not as easy as I thought,I've googled so many I'm going cross-eyed from watching and found nada. There seem to be plenty of clues on the box to a certain direction,but it leads nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 A 193,000 series Japanese trademark dates to 1926/7...so 208,000's shouldn't be that many years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well that's a nice lead! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 0220878 is from December 1930 - probably puts 0208836 in 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
