Marbleneophyte Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I bought this bag of marbles today at an antique store. The seam looks right, flat staples and the hole is large enough to hang over a capped soda bottle. Is this a "real" giveaway or just a very good fantasy bag? Marbles are swirls, probably Alley. The bag is pretty cloudy. Does anyone see anything special? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Looks vintage to me (and I tend to be conservative). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleneophyte Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Thanks Alan. I learned the hard way about "fantasy bags" and I really overpaid in the past for Jabos and newer MK. I think this one is real though. Still paid too much but I think it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Lots of Alley marbles were packaged and sold under the Sureshot label. But not everything with Sureshot marking contains Alley marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I'm happy with it Schmoozer, and you are so right! "Buy it when you see it." I've put items back before to "think about it" and came back and they were gone! Ron, as always, thanks for sharing. Your knowledge and generosity are very much appreciated. Many thanks y'all and good hunting! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks y'all and good hunting! I have walked away from some mibs only to regret it later. I have also bought mibs, only to regret it later…. as long as you learn from your mistakes, it is good.
