Steph Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think that most Alox shoelaces were made in America. Some were made in Japan though. If you can find the Japanese ones, look for marbles on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Alox marble machine. The four people are 3 different families all connected by marbles. They all bought equipment and marbles from each other. Left is Frank Sellers- Alley grandson. Center is Nancy Frier- granddaughter and daughter of the two Alox owners. Right is Ray Weekly and husband- her father was owner of Ravenswood Novelty. All present to see this machine run one more time. Pictures of the Alox machine at Jabo . Then at my house. Then I took it back home to the original Alox factory in St.Louis. It is now in a museum in St. Louis. The last picture is Bill McCaleb with Nancy Frier's father, the last owner of Alox, who has passed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 We believe there were 12 of the Vitro lamps gave away for Christmas to special employees. When you got yours, I think that made ten which I knew where they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
