Stop it Chad, you are the go-to here on the board.

By the way, what is shoe grease?

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

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!!
