Master Glass Number ten box


Recommended Posts

This is a rare box that I have been hunting for years. 
Yes I did pay up—not too bad considering the time and date.
The number five boxes are reproduced and refilled because of the way that things work in any collectable. The number five boxes are more common than they should be because of the amount of them found in flats and refilled. The number fives were also reproduced in a way that you may want to research.
This is a number 10---very rare. It has been speculated that these were made after the number fives.
I wonder?
These are the original marbles to the box—all are Master Glass, sixty one—if I counted right. There was not much more room for any others.
This is the very best that I have ever seen.
I just love this stuff---Keep on hunting!!!!
Marble—On!!

Nice box, Art, the #10s are pretty elusive so congratulations on finding one! The contents look right to me too. The graphic rules on the back remind me of that single-fold insert that Master published and included in some other packaging, like the Century of Progress mesh bag. Have you seen that little pamphlet - do you have one?

And the box itself, even the rules graphic on the back, are pretty much the same as the large Heaton boxes - sorta like the #5, and I'd bet dollars to donuts they were produced by the same manufacturer.

I am right there with you Ric. 
That large Heaton box is more than likely the very rarest marble box in existence.
Any Heaton packaging is rare to find.
This is what drives me—the rare stuff.
Marble—On!!

Did not realize they were harder to find.

They are a hard find Al,

The #5 boxes were found in some NOS--boxes of them, flat and not filled. Then they were reproduced by someone which were very convincing.
The #10s are especially hard to find in any condition worth keeping--or restoring.
I could have paid this much for a restoration type box ten years ago—without the marbles—sometimes a person just gets lucky:rolleye-842:.
How many marbles are in your box Al???
Marble—On!!
