akroorka Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 More than likely clays were involved. It looks legit to me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225586207807?hash=item3485fc5c3f:g:EWcAAOSwJ19kanC1&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAsO7BJEwy9FWBt7bfRoEYNIBAfr0u8Wo6xdbzJ1qBToYIqb%2ButfD7F%2B%2B8pZHZT3%2BUl27v%2BI98g4zZAcoSVQnQebw4kiCgxtQBI8PV8cFaDgXHs847Yj4KdqH3Ujd8bJ8gjsbXRXXbXGmW7%2BCkOrkqQ4TlEEpEiXXGN%2FKxAL%2Bfpwp6RAhvOKONuueqZ5jzyLv67AKWrAb1P%2FBt3A7igKns3nGfSj0yIo6h2q0yWykRN93a|tkp%3ABk9SR7bw85SJYg Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Pretty neat. I agree that it was likely clay marbles retailing for $2.00/1000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronmarbles Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 They were a rubber manufacturer in the early 20's that made men's belts. Purchased the Century Rubber (Toy Balloons - Wadsworth, Ohio) plant in the 1927 - moved equipment and tooling to Ky. Made toy balloons up to about 1960 in Kentucky. Looks like they didn't get into the toy trade till after the 1927 purchase. Probably clay marbles - I would imagine they were coming out of JE Albright in Ravenna - clay marbles were made in Ravenna up till the 90's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
