Uncle Jack's

[akroorka]

Well, here is one for @Al Oregon.
I could not pass on these bags. 
Two lots were sold and I could not hold back on the second posting with the marble in the header—"Made in Japan". 

This stuff just gets you sometimes and I was dreaming of passing on the first lot—then a second showed up—oh well, as you all know.
“If you have never seen it before—buy it”.
Notice the “square” staples here.

There are a bunch of fake bags out there--but who would go through the trouble to make these is what I dreamed about.

Trust your instincts and your dreams as well.

These are the very coolest Cat’s-Eye Bags that I have ever seen.
Marble—On!!

Those are great bags! I think Jack Pressman (Uncle Jack?) was one of the first to market Japanese marbles in America. His push for profit was at least partially responsible for the downfall of the American toy glass marble industry.

Good stuff Ric---or bad.

We would not have Cats if not for this idea.

Nice history for sure.

I would have never put the two together--"Uncle Jack" who would have guessed??

Great stuff!!

Marble--On!!
