YasudaCollector Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 Oh my gosh, one of them looks purple! (In the left middle row). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroaiko Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 The box set is great and the purple transitional! I saw mushroom type marbles in similar puzzle boxes. Chiyogami paper in mame-shibori pattern is used. Do they have crease pontils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe2 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I will post more about the box as soon as it's available to me thank you for your interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe2 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 so I was able to reach out to the gentleman I received this from he had purchased it almost a year ago or so from a fella out in Portland and that fella got it from another gentleman through Japanese import this was the only information I can obtain at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted April 26 Author Report Share Posted April 26 Wow! I guess it makes sense since Portland is a west coast city (there'd be a lot of trade with Japan). I see a few Japanese transitionals here and there since I am near Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted April 26 Author Report Share Posted April 26 Sorry for not posting the size of my mibs earlier. Rookie mistake 🤣 The ones in the black box are anywhere from 31/32" to 1 5/32" The ones in the wood box are all under 3/4". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I am so grateful for being here. We scarcely see old marbles in packages in the country. It is probably they meant for export, and marbles were often sold loose. One exception is Camel (Matsuno). They used the same paper boxes and plastic bags for both foreign and domestic markets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a duplication from National Diet Library; a 1959 study of marbles in American market. It says Japan was able to provide marbles cheaper to the American market, compared to the factories which were located in the middle of the country. Transport of 100 kg marbles costed 6 dollars per 100 kilometers from WV to Los Angels, but 50 cents for the same distance from Kobe to North America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
