Hidden Treasures


Recommended Posts

What kinds of things have marbles been hidden inside?  ... commercially speaking ... 

I was remembering Fuzzy Wuzzy soap and the toys inside from when I was a kid ... don't know if they ever were marbles.  Fuzzy had toys, right?

Tried to google for reminders and found this! 

Surprises inside soap endure!

And I remember some examples with marbles sewn into old toys to help them hold their shape or provide weight ... and no one was ever supposed to see 'em.  Need to look for those.

So much history to be learned while pondering these little bits of glass.  

(I also learned quite a bit about European economics  in the 1800's just in the course of studying marbles.)

(Some of that history may have influenced my ancestors' migration to Wisconsin a century and a half ago.)
