greenvwbug Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Box measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, a little over 5/8 deep,in very good shape,a few marbles don't belong.I can't find mention of this box in the marble books I have or on line,I don't have the newly published master book,does any one have information on this?..thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yes, unusual box. I only ever remember seeing one or two with the Cloudys labelled . (not that I see any Cloudys in this one ... edit: oh, wait, there might be one). Can't remember offhand if the other sample box I saw had that design, but just having a label for Cloudys makes this unusual in my experience.

Steph Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 The new Master book is Master Glass, so it was from a later period. But it does have some older pictures in it so it's possibly there. I put my books away for my move and don't have them all back out yet. But a Master sample box is a good motivator for finding old books and pix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvwbug Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Steph..thanks for the responses,I posted this on the other forum,this is in the new master book that was recently published..guess it is a extremely rare salesman sample box..if you find your book you will see it in there..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Is it your box? What a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 It looks like a retail sample. I don't see a reason to assume it was a salesman's case - its far too small. The marbles in it seem kind of random for a sample box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvwbug Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Steph..yes..it's mine Alan..you are probably right just a simple sample box,as I stated don't think all the right marbles are there,the picture from the book shows what was in the box but I don't have the book ..just showing how it came to me,I can see it's missing the clear i.e. Marbles and a few others I am sure..but none the less..a cool little box..I am happy with it..I see in my other post I wrote salesman sample box..my mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
