akroorka Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I collect pouches—well because I rebuild boxes. I jumped on this one recently –just because it rang some bells. I cannot find it or ID it. It is a “Rubberized” fake leather. These usually flake off with age and heat. This one is not too shabby. The back is the best of course. I think that it may be from a “Master Made” box. I may be losing it after all. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I collect pouches, but only randomly. Not many company ones - usually oddballs. This looks familiar, but that`s as far as I can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I have a few. I’ll dig them out. I have my first marble pouch I got from my Grandma when I was 6 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro75 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I’ve seen that in old Jobber box from the 30’s that had Pelts in it….but I also saw that same one in another group in one of Blocks books that said it was “ newer”…so who knows…lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Thanks for the jobber box tip. I found it. It is from a rare un-marked (name wise) box, so I do not feel too bad about my memory today. I found three that are close with the same wording on similar pouches in the “Rosenthal jobber boxes”. Here is a link to AAMhttps://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3613&start=50 And one image from a Grist book. Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro75 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Exactly, from Grist’s book. I have that box, mine came with a different pouch….I always thought that box came with Pelts, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the marbles that came with the pouch. The exact number that came with the box and I do believe that they are all “Master Made”. Three clearies came long for the ride and they look vintage as well. I am writing the seller as I speak—lol. I do not mind a beat up box at all. Marble--On!!

Fire1981 Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Here’s what I have for bags. The last one was made by my Grandma. It included German Hand Mades from the German side of my family. She fed my early interests in marbles. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the one with the simple circle, nothing fancy—just “enuf said” with one simple image on the outside. It is pretty cool to have one that you grandmother made for you, a real keeper that one.

Al Oregon Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Here is pic of that box (& bag) that Dave B. posted back in 2012, with Akros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Thanks Al, I have been pursuing a box like this for years. Even needing rebuilding they are out of shot for me and I have bid on some pretty shabby ones😁. I do believe that Akros came in these, other makers marbles as well. An earlier Jobber box for sure just like the “Rosenthal jobber boxes”. They carried a few differernt makers as well. I wonder who marketed the nameless one that you show. Marble--On!!

akroorka Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Well, I have a lot of pouches in storage and I was digging today and found this one—pretty cool imho. I knew that The OP rang some bells. I like this one better. I do not recall this color in a box but I bet that it was----or will be if I can help it.

It measures 6” x 4.5” ….what do you think akroorka? This is a nice one and I have seen it recently during the search on the OP, I will do some more digging. This type did show up in Akro “Gift boxes” usually without any stamp like yours shows (rare). I looked and could not come up with it---maybe a “Akro Ringer” gift set is where I saw it, I am not really sure though. It is a keeper for sure. Brittle as it may be, put it in the fridge (who cares if it smells like onions). Check it out next spring and continue on with a possibility of it being more pliable—then try getting it straightened out with a slight press between two heavy objects(books). It does take some time.

I start with boxes like image one, most are in worst shape for sure. I purchased it just for the dividers but I am re-thinking that. I rebuild/restore nasty original boxes of any kind or make. The only boxes that I ever “made” are images two and three. My wife likes them so I keep them. The bottom says it all as far as I am concerned—even back then (I did not measure much back then—LOL).
