Large Heaton Box

[Ric]

I thought I better start a new thread since we were diverging pretty far from the Lets See Your Master Mibs topic.

This was Bill's box and these are his pics too. @mibcapper

It is a lot like the Master #10, but probably even more rare.

And here is another Heaton Box and marbles - not mine.

Interesting to say the least,

The #10 Master Marbles box also has "Ringer" Rules on the back and they look to be the same print. I do not have one to show so I hope that someone does.

Marble--On!!

I am betting the Master and Heaton boxes were made by the same manufacturer. They are so similar I can't imagine two different producers supplying them to these companies.

That is a great box Al.

Maybe not so rare as the bigger ones--but still a hard find for sure. The ones that I have were as brittle as a soda cracker and I am getting them back to  almost "normal" with tender loving care. PM me if you would like one for yourself.

Marble--On!!

I agree, and would love to see a side by side comparison.

I'm also betting there were a few packaging manufacturers that were flush during the heyday of marbles.

I had some nice research on boxmakers for some Akro boxes that had info/trademarks on them to look into. It led to one company on the east coast who made jewelry boxes. I lost it all with my conversion from windows 7 to windows 10. Ten somehow decided that I no longer needed it on my thumb-drive and deleted it without any consent. I knew that I should have went to Apple. I lost a lot of stuff, too bad I can't remember most of it--or maybe it's a good thing. I do find a lot that seems like Deja-vu.---anyhow--it might be time for a new start on that subject.

Marble--On!!
