westcoast_dave Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Real bag or Fantasy bag? If real, this is the most awesome bag contents I've ever seen. If fake, I just wonder why someone would take the time to do this and risk dinging up those nice marbles. The texture of the photo actually looks identical to the real old marble king ads (if that makes any sense at all). I see Akro eggyolk oxbloods, premium type Peltier marbles and alley's. What do you see?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I thought I’ve seen this bag before in a book with similar content. Although I counted and there isn’t 100 on my quick count... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 As far as I know that is a real advertisement from the 1950's. I have two theories -- Berry Pink selling new old stock while waiting for his own product to be ready to go. Or, with the new marbles not ready yet, someone just reached for whatever pretty marbles they could find in order to get an attractive picture to entice buyers with. The Pelts and Alleys were natural for Berry Pink to have on hand. And he did sell them under his Marble King brand. The Akros are the mystery.

Al Oregon Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think it was just for advertising purposes. I have never seen a bag with marbles even close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
