Ric Posted Thursday at 01:16 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:16 AM (edited) This is one of my favorite mementos from Ron - he called it a "quiz box" - there are five different companies represented. Edited Friday at 01:49 PM by Ric There are only 5 different companies, not six - sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alley Ravenswood Champion Heaton Hint no. 1 - there are no Cairos in the box. Tommy has marble #1 correct (Alley) and 4 of the 5 companies too (see my edit of his response here). Now you just need to come up with the 5th company and associate each with the marbles they made. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Friday at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:49 PM I will pick on #6 again--Jackson. I feel like a dog looking at TV--you never know what they think they are seeing. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Friday at 08:54 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:54 PM @Tommy @akroorka Isn't this fun!? Ron would occasionally take this to a show and he would always say, "If you don't try, you don't learn". It was always fun to watch people reason their way to their best guesses. Occasionally, someone would get one or two correct. These days, there are a fair number of people who could do a lot better - mostly thanks to Ron's efforts. Hint no. 2 - there are no Jackson's in the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted Friday at 10:11 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:11 PM OK thanks Ric. This is my last guess--a guess really again Alox--#2. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Saturday at 01:44 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 01:44 AM 3 hours ago, akroorka said: Alox--#2. Hint No. 6 - none are Alox. 🙂 So @Tommy we have #1 Alley (Blue Sky) and #5 Vacor (Tidal Wave). Champion, Heaton, Ravenswood, and one duplicate have yet to be assigned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted Saturday at 04:04 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:04 AM Vacor got me .......had it after the hint .lol 1 Alley 2. Champion 3. Alley 4 Ravenswood 5 bacor 6 Heaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Saturday at 12:08 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:08 PM 8 hours ago, Tommy said: Vacor got me .......had it after the hint .lol You're very close, Tommy, but #4 is the Heaton (Robin's Egg) and #6 is the Ravenswood - it's the smallest of the bunch and you will rarely see a white like that on Heatons. So, to recap: #1 and #3 are Alley, #2 is Champion, #4 is Heaton, #5 is Vacor, and #6 is Ravenswood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Ron never allowed that. lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
