bumblebee Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Do you think "candy marbles" were German peppermint types (in 1926?) or jawbreakers or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Looking at it logically, they mention bag of marbles so probably all are same company (Akro). So probably not handmade peppermint marbles - maybe real candy shaped like marbles (i.e. round). JMHO. By trhe way, neat ad - thaks for sharing.
