Marble on my marble collecting friend. Yes, a very nice cork!! Marble--On!! Hello Art, Shoe grease has been around for over 100 years, we used it to waterproof and protect our leather boots when I worked out in the woods chasing (setting log chokers). " Huberd's" was the go too then. I am of course from the Pacific Northwest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Prizenames, I am about to finish a 100 count box of them. The box came to me partially filled. Yes, I know, two Opaque colors are needed. It may be time to rethink “opaque” today with big-time flash and imaging tech vs back then in the 30’s. These all look opaque under natural light—what more can I say. The first two are a very difficult find. I do not even know what to call the orange on the first one. The white on black—is very hard to find (actually white on transparent, very deep brown--it does look blue--what can I say, I have it in hand). Enjoy! Marble—On!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
