@William That's a nice 40 ct bag of Five Star Brand Vitro Cat's Eyes there William. One of their earlier ones, I think. Just look at how rich the color in those marbles are compared to the later stuff they produced - they're so nice!

I have had this marble for many years and have had many people try to convince me it was a Christensen, some of those people weren't Ron and Bill - who certainly knew better, they just really wanted this marble. Years later, I dug another at Pennsboro when I was digging there with them - you should have seen their faces and heard them both stammering when I eventually showed it to them - priceless. We jibed one another about it regularly for years - what a hoot! 😄

I thought it might have been one of the earlier ones! The other Vitro bag had this drug store sticker on it, couldn't be absolutely sure but 60's, maybe 70's...kinda cool 👍😎

Wow...the Ben Franklin 5 and 10 stores started in 1927, filed for chapters 7 and 11 in 1997. There are only 125 left nationwide, dwindling quickly...

Another wow...Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, started in retailing in 1973 operating a Ben Franklin store!
