PittsburghMarbles Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Are these legit? There’s a few of them for sale online and I find it hard to believe that so many are floating around for only 14 to 30 bucks and that they are original.

I seen them to, judging by the amount of them circulating all at once and the ease of which they could be reprinted I'd be wary myself !! They look legit but ??

Yeah I doubt their legitimacy highly. 15 years of antiquing since I was 18 has taught me that things that are too good to be true usually are and that most likely they are Asian/Central American fakes or reproductions and or just generalized scams even if the seller doesn’t know.

wvrons Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 I have no way of knowing if this one or these for sale are original or a copy or reprint ? The listing says original. But Ravenswood Novelty did have this orange sales brochure. The boy pictured on the left with the plaid shirt is Chuck Cox son of later Ravenswood Novelty owner Paul Cox. The boy on the right is Lee Hudkins a first cousin of Chuck Cox. I think Lee Hudkins mother was the sister of Charles Turnbull the original owner of Ravenswood Novelty. I know they have been sold for 25 years or more. But recently more available than in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 The enlarged image of the back shows an applied ribbon over the original print. Looks like the one that I have and I believe that that one I have is OEM. There is at least one more for less money on E bay. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 They look right. There were a lot of them available 20+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 New old stock was available for sale at the Museum of American glass in West Virginia at one time. I think they were 14 bucks or something like that. Not sure if they still are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
