Antique Akros, it just dawned on me—cool stuff Steph! https://www.ebay.com/itm/373912568996?hash=item570eed04a4%3Ag%3A9B8AAOSwn8Rh-CNh&LH_BIN=1 https://marbleconnection.com/topic/10676-akro-timeline/?_fromLogin=1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Given that most people in 1912 were probably making 35-40 cents an hour, those were some mighty fine marbles, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 They still are mighty fine my friend, just a tad more costly surprisingly, not too much inflation as far as slags go. I would love to have this box in my collection. a keeper for sure no matter the condition. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mibs originally cost about 1 1/2 hours pay. You'd need a darn good job to get them anywhere near that rate today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
